GO AFTER THE WEEDS EARLY
The best way to get ahead of the
weeds is to attack them on “the first
cuitivnliona with good cultivators.
They must be equipped with good.
sharp shovels and lenders. so that
one can get up close to the corn and
cultivate fairly deep without disturb-
ing or covering the young plants.
if close cultivation is practised
carefully for the first too times
there will be little danger’oi touch-
ing the corn. as there will not be
much root development near the sur-
face between the rows until the corn
has reached a height of eight or ten
inches.
i always found the best plan to
‘get‘ ahead of the weeds was to start
crosswise in the checked corn us
soon after the first cultivation as
possible. Weeds are much easier to
combat when just coming through
the ground. The first cultivations
are the ones that count in this bat-
tle. . .
If the corn is borrowed a few days
after planting with a spike-toothed
barrow having the teeth set back at
