completely filled, but only enough dirt
is put in to cover the crowns of the
roots about 2 inches. If the furrow
is completely filled at this time, the
plant will not grow. AS soon as the
plant starts growth, cultivation
should begin. AT each cultivation or
hoeing the soil is worked toward the
plant. In this way the burrows are
gradually filled, so that by the end
of the growing season there will be
no furroW and the area planted will
present level appearance.
Cut Tops Away
When the seasons growth is over,
the tops are moved or cut away and
removed. An application of manure
can be made broadcast then or early
in the fall. In either case the man.
ure should be disked or dug through

when the soil is in workable condi-
ton. If the roots are planted deeply
there is no danger of injuring them
with the disk and also no danger of
injuring any shoots if the work is
understood that during the first year
no attempt should be made to cut
asparagus shoots.
If desired, a light cutting can be
made the second year, though it is
important not to cut too heavily. Cut

shortens the period of usefulness of
the plant. Late in the fall, the tops
can be removed again and manure

Of shoots may be cut, but under no
consideration should the cutting con-

Beware OF Weeds.
Immediately after cutting, Guilt
waiting should begin and should con-
tinue throughout the season, or until
the plants become so large as to pre-
vent further tillage. Any stray weeds
that appear in the rows during the
first two or three weeks, particularly
after cultivation, should be removed.
Late in the fall the asparagus stalks
will be we'll established. After this
a heavier crop may be cut.
Cuttings, should not continue for
more than six or seven weeks. Cut
ting too late in the season reduces
the vitality of the plants and impairs
their future value. The plants must
be given plenty of time after their
last cutting to make vigorous growth
and store up juice in their roots for
next Years crop.

BY C. e. BREHM

Asparagus is commonly grown by
planting roots, These may be either
| or , years Old. The 1-year roots,
however. are preferable. Asparagus
roots are sometimes grown from seed,
but in view of the fact that much
longer period must elapse before the
asparagus could be cut it is best to
raise 1t from roots.
The soil where asparagus is raised
chouldN be very rich. Liberal appli
5ationS of manure should be made
20 it. If. possible, the land selected
should be plowed and MANFRED in the
tall preparatory to spring planting.
