Valuable Points in p1nuina

Farmers use the eultivator for a plow::
that is, they cultivate deep. with the OBJ
ject of loosening the soil between the
rows. If the ground is to be broken IN.
the plow is the thing to do it with. but
two inches is sufficient depth for cult
walton. Grass and Weeas should never
be allowed to grow to height to de-
mand "plowing" with eultivator. Keen
the top soil loose and never allow grass
or weeds to more than sprout above
ground. Deep cultivation frequently
does harm in disturbing the roots of the
plants grown as q crop.
