After the corn is up, about one-third of the farmers use a spike- 

 tooth harrow for the first cultivation. After this, most of the cul- 

 tivating is clone with a 2-horse 6-shovel cultivator. Usually three or 

 four cultivations are given with this implement. Other cultivators 

 found less frequently are the 2-horse 8-shovel, 1-horse 3-shovel, 1- 

 horse 2-shovel, and 2-horse spring-tooth. Most of the farmers go 

 over the field at least once with a hoe to chop out weeds and to replant.
