The advantages of drilling are the following: — (1) Usually a somewhat larger yield. (2) Planting at a more uniform depth and hence greater uniformity in the ripening of the plants. (3) Slightly increased protection from winter-killing through heaving, that is, the lifting of the young plants above the surface by the expansion of the moisture in the soil when it freezes; the plants growing in the slight de- pression left by the drill are in the position where there is.
