3;o WEED S. lp 



The hairough is an annual plant, having a 

 {m^ulA^U feeble root, eafily to be deftroycd. 



When this weed has been thick upon the 

 ground, and by its climbing nature has gain- 

 ed the afcendency of the corn, I have known 

 it dragged out with iron-toothed rakes 

 with good cfFccl and quick difpatch. In va- 

 cancies, and while the corn is low, a fmall 

 HOE may be ufed ; but in general it is beft 

 to draw it with the hand alone. 



The feeds of the cleaver, like thofe of mcft 

 annual plants, will lie in the foil for 8ges, 

 without loling their vegetative quality. But 

 by FALLOWING, provided the feafon be fa- 

 vourable to their vegetation, they may be 

 eafily extinguillied. 



Wild mustard. With this maybe clafTed 

 2i\\ othQX annual weeds, w4iofe feeds are y5;a^// 

 enough or light enough to be feparated eafily 

 irom the grain among which they grow. 

 The flems of moft of them will fend forth 

 frcili Ihonts if cut o^ ahoz^e the crozvn ; but if 

 taken off beloiv the croivn, the root and fern 

 are at once detlroyed. 



Fallowing and v/eeding are there- 

 fore in this cafe equally effective. Thofe
