By keeping the surface soil stirred, ;the weeds, as they germinate, will not have a chance to take hold. Keep up this stirring, doing it at least once a week, but never when the soil is so wet that it is sticky. Do it as soon after a rain as the soil can be worked. It is a good plan, also, to rake over the un planted portion of the garden, to keep that in fit shape, for weeds in this area will also be harmful to your garden later on. One hour of cultivation now will be worth more than 10 hours when the weeds are a foot high. Stirring the soil has another benefit. It prevents the forming of a crust that may result from walking on the soil or from the packing action of rain. Loose surface soil w’ill permit the air to en ter the soil, and this is ad\'antageous for plant growth. —SIulUow Cultivatkm Best— The principal points to observe in weeding are to cultivate shallow near plants. Deeper cultivation may be used in the “middles” for a short time, until the plants become larger. The danger from deep cultivation is that it injures feeding roots. Besides a rake, other tools that may be used to control weeds are the gar den hoe, a cultivator, a scuff or Dutch \ hoe. Next W eek; Sowing Seeds of Snap Beans, Com and Squash.
