The reason why grain does not al

do to hoe the small grains ike wheat,
as is done by English farmers. The
hoeing would not make any more
plants. and it does Increase the supply
Of nitrogen in the soil The American
substitute for hoeing small grain is to
roll or harrow it while II is young
enough to tiller. This checks the
growth Of leaves already formed. at
the same time mellowing the soil and
cruising new shoots to put forth. This
