Cultivation In Season.

With press Of work, often the
cultivation of hood crops is put of
until the weeds have attained a con,
siderable size, even so as to over.
shadow the crop. This is a mistake.
Every weed not destroyed is sapping
the ground of the nutriment that is
Just in the best condition for the
growing plant, but if the weed is de-
stroyed as it comes out of the ground,
it has, as yet, only taken its nutrition
from its own seed. Again, single
motion, when weeds are tiny, will de-
stroy hundreds, where if allowed
to remain sometime longer, each in
dividnal specimen will require the
same effort. Here is where the stroke
in time saves nincty-nine or more
This is most emphatically true in the
growth of onions, beets, or other
crops close sown, which require hand
work entirely. In case Of potatoes,
the plan of narrowing after planting
and before they arc far advanced is
growing in tavor. This allows the
crop to have good start of the
weeds, and the potatoes are not in
tire least injured by the harrow.
