Extract from Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser - Monday 15 May 1865 concerning discussions at Maidstone Farmers' Club on sheep farming, particularly on chalky soil,

Mr. White said had had a little experience lately, lasst Michaelmas he took the Manor Farm, Wateringbury. He always folded half his roots, and left the other half for fattening tegs. His, however, was not chalky land. Perhaps his was rather richer than theirs.
