Cultivation should always be

cd will also kill the termination
of a large number of weed and
grass seed.~ Deep cultivation cuts
, large numbers of feeder roots,
and to cut these roots often
does more damage than good, eS-
pecially to corn. With the mod
ern methods of corn production,
thicker spacing and heavy fertili-
cation, the methods of cultiva-
ton has also changed to shall
low cultivation in order not to
disturb the tiny feeder roots. and
so the plant could use more of
the fertility to a greater advant-
age.
Cotton, tobacco, and other
crops are also damaged by deeL
cultivation. When you piow a
crop deep you not only cut and
tear off feeder roots but also soil

rate, and often tn eplants neec
