A simple- op- Jiaratus can be rigged,up as follows:— Take an ordinary tin funnel which is 6 ,or & inches across the top arid fit R. into a piece of 'rubber hose or a small rain piperabout 3 or 4 feet long.- When a bage' of fertilizer is swung over the . back cut hale in the cckner of it • • and hold the funnel under the hole. As . • you walk' along the row you can guide t ' the loose ped of the hose or pipe so • • ', that a stream ef .fbrtilizer runs along c :the row, not too neae the growing - • crop. Do this before you cultevate and the cultivation will work the Plant- , , food into the soil. • There are cultiva- s Uri connections of the so and prevent the escape0 moisture. - • Now, the rapidly growing crops quickly send their tiny roots oat across the spaces between the rows, and the smallest rootlete frequently come within an inch of the surface 0 the soil; hence a deep cultivation, while It may kill the weeds, p,runes off large quantities of these feeding roots, and virtually works to the starving of ,the • plant: g ultivate shnilowerand 'shal- lower as the season goes on, and keep. a liege further away each time from the growing crop. It is unnecessary to quote' figures and experinients to prove this statement, suffice it to pay, there is an abundance of prof on file to show that too close and too deep cultivation, while it makes a crop look good, actually cute down the yields much more than the average man mispecte, .Of couree weeds must be kept down, but they can bp cut off at The surface without'elinging down into the seil...and upsetting. the feeding conditions of the crop,.
