TINE 10 KILL WEEDS
You Must Cultivate Often If You
Would Kill the Weeds
Thoroughly.
THINNING TIME IS At HAND
Cheaper TO Hire One Man TO Cultivate
Than TO Hire Three or Four Men
Later to Hoe Out

This is fine weather and it is getting
somewhat dry. at is fine time to kill
weeds by cultivation now and as it is
getting a little dry and may continue so
without any heavy rainfall for some
time, we must cultivate to retain the
moisture as we'll as to kill the weeds.
We find some beets quite weedy and
grassy and have found some farmers who
said, 81 have cultivated my beets once
and think that ought to do at present.
Well, it may do at present if your land
is in fine shnpe and free from grass and
weeds, but even in such cases, cultiva-
ton is necessary to retain the moisture
and liberate plant food. We were talk
ing with a man the other day who has
very grassy beets, and asked him why he
did not cultivate more, and he answered
by saying " have cultivated them once"
and seemed to think they were all right
to let lay for while, which is just where
he is wrong. Beets should be cultivated
enough before thinning to thoroughly
subdue and kill all grass and weeds be-
tween the rows. They must stand for
some time after thinning before we can
cultivate them successfully, as they will
lop over from thinning, if it is little dry
weather that they must straighten up
before we can cultivate and get close to
the plants. Thinning time is with us and
we must be careful and remember that it
is of great importance while thinning to
leave the very thriftiest and strongest
plants to develop for beets. Many have
been thinning and there will be some
seed that will come up i'll early thinned
hoeing, but you can afford to do this
rather than to put off thinning until the
beets get too large and so much other
work to do that they can't be thinned
i'll very short time and the weeds get
started so that the thinning costs more
than it would to have thinned earlier and
hoed out few extra beets that might
come up from seed that was uot up at the
first thinning
We talked about thinning last week
aud have done the same this week, and
hope you will see the necessity of keep
ing at it, for it is much cheaper to hire
one man to cultivate than 10 hire three
or fonr men later to hoe out the weeds
which ought to have been killed by per-
sistent, thorough and early cultivation.
