THE OLIVER PLOW BOOK 



Sectional view showing weeds buried in the lower corner of the 

 furrow deep enough to prevent their getting a good growth in the fall 

 before the winter's freezing will fall them. If the same plowing were 

 done in the spring the crops planted above would sprout and grow before 

 the weeds could get a start. 



In this weed killing process a farmer may often be 

 obliged to choose between the loss of his ground for a 

 year or the growth of such a crop as he can expect to 

 raise in a weedy field. 



*This reference means when right-hand plows are used. When left-hand plows 

 are used the weeds should be in the lower left-hand corner.
