106 ROOT 



^ CROPS 



weed, for weeds are only plants misplaced. 

 So plow the roots out as soon as you have dug 

 your crop and have them removed. Although 

 it is next to impossible to get them all out, they 

 cannot do much harm if the ground is kept 

 thoroughly busy with some other crop. There 

 is a good deal of the Old Nick in Nature, and 

 wherever she finds idle land she sets to work 

 to grow weeds. She would just as readily 

 help your crops; so it is for you to profit by her 

 willingness.
