just the same as do the tops, and il
the ground is packed or hard or is
sunbaked over the surface after beat

for that reason the plants will suffer
If not cultivated. The same thing is
true where the land is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps out
the air and the roots cannot feed the
plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that it breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
feeding rootlets OF the plants. Many
persons, however, make the mistake Of
cultivating too deeply, and by SO do

The soil should always be cultivated
just as soon as it is sufficiently dry to
be safely worked after heavy rains
If it is not cultivated, a crust forms, the
surface bakes, and the crops are in
