on the ground, Mr.. Steine SAYS the hot
sun kills them before they can climb the
stalk, and regain the shade. He, pro

this method, and only had to repeat the

you have NJ drill, open the rows with Il

should not be covered more than an
inch. Cover with a board attached to
a pIow stock. or better with oultiyator.
If the soil isin a perfect condition when
seeded, and if the land is not inclined 10
