“{{w|Henry David Inglis|Inglis}}, in his work on the "Channel Islands," gives a most interesting picture of the {{w|seaweed}} harvest in {{w|Jersey}}. On the 10th of March and on the 20th of July, all the inhabitants repair to the shore, with such vehicles as they can press into their service, and they gather the weed in great quantities. Some they dry and use for fuel, and the remainder is laid upon the land as manure. It suits potatoe land remarkably well, and on this account is eagerly seized upon in Ireland, where it is carried at least fifteen miles inland.”
