grand objection to summer-fallows), that if the 

 summer proves wet, root-weeds will not be de- 

 stroyed, whatever the system of tillage may be : 

 that of clods will no more kill them than any other 

 method, except picking them up by women, &c. 

 following every machine by which the tillage may 

 be given. 



HOE WHITE CORN. 



Wheat, barley, and oats, that are drilled wide 

 enough for horserhoeing, must he well attended ta 

 through this month, as all should be now finished, 

 and early in it : the rows well hand-hoed and 

 weeded at the same time, by the men stooping 

 down to pluck out such with their fingers as they 

 cannot get away with their hoes, without damage tQ 

 the crop. 



HOE BEANS. 



The rows of beans will demand great attention 

 throughout this month : the shims must work the 

 intervals well, and the rows must be hand -hoed 

 and weeded; at present the plants are not advanced 

 enough to offer any difficulties, and all operations 

 may, consequently, be performed effectually. If it 

 is a wot season, interruptions will happen, for all 

 hoeing is then very badly done, but no dry time 

 should be lost ; it may, from succeeding bad wea- 

 ther, be invaluable.
