Seeding continues through Miay and often ,well into June. After the tiny seedlings emerge from the ground and have four leaves tihey should be ‘‘blocked and thinned”. This means that but one iplant should be left standing for each twelve inches in the row, the rows •usually being from twenty-two to twenty-four inches apart. Common method or thinning is for the worker to go along a row Of seedlings and, making quick chops with a short-handled hoe, cut out swaths leaving one or more little plants between each cut. If more than one are left, the worker plucks out all but one (preferably the largest) by hand. Use of segmented seed, well spaced, has almost eliminat­ ed hand plucking, even permit­ ting thinning to be done with a long-handled hoe is some fields.
