    good land there is often a tuft of rushes.
    The rushes are very good for bedding cattle or pigs. Some people thatch with rushes, because they are able to keep out the rain.
    Next comes the Daisies. The Daisies grow in poor land. But in good land they do not grow because the land is too rich for them.
    Next comes the Blackhead. The Blackheads grow in rich land and some times they grow in poor land. The blackheads do no harm. The Blackheads grow very much in some people's fields.
