"Trashing Off is child's play to what it
would be if there were banks existing. In
wedding the labOur is considerably reduced,
while the oyerseer is able to walk or ride
easily between the rows and follow the
gang up closely. The labour of cutting,
seeing that the rows are laid out with
mathematical correctness, is comparative
ly easy, and lastly the toll and labour OF
carting is greatly lessened.
After crop, the trash can be hauled
between alternate rows and a small 'culti-
vator' run readily through, and, indeed,
there seems no reason why a small horse
hoe should not be made to do nearly all
the wedding from the very first.
The advantages Of the fiat system are
many and great; experience will alone
tell whether it is suitable for this Island.
