ON HEMP. 



When Hemp is sown broad-cast, all the weeds will be destroyed • 

 but when sown in drills, they appear between the rows. The plant 

 being arrived at the height of four inches, the field ought to be 

 gone over with a horse-hoe, which will not only cut away the 

 weeds, but, by throwing up the earth against the roots of the 

 Hemp, will afford them additional nourishment and strength, and 

 at the same time will clear the ground. This operation, therefore, 

 may be repeated with much advantage, as frequently as may be 

 necessary for destroying the weeds. , Sinclair. 



No weeding is ever given to it, the Hemp destroying every 

 -other plant. Suffolk Report. 



At Swineshead, it is never weeded, as the Hemp itself 

 destroys them all. 



At Haxey, the largest of the weeds are taken ouL 



Lincoln Report. 



Hemp does not need weeding. It is so swift a grower, and 

 such a poison to all the weeds, that it over-runneth, choaketh, and 

 destroyelh them. England's Improvement. 



Hemp requires no weeding. It even operates so far as a 

 weeder itself, that by a crop or two of Hemp a foul piece of 

 ground may be cleaned; the quickness of its growth, and the 



exclusion
