The plants will then come up in straight rows that will allow of machine cultivation to much better advantage. We manufacture the Man-Weight Drill, our own invention, which is ill ustrated on this page. This line of drills and cultivators have many advan- tages over the old style hand push m achines. (Reconstructed and improved for 1902.) 5. Cultivation must begin as soon as the rows can be distinguished and repeated every few days. The object is to prevent weeds from getting a start. Machine cultivation must be supplemented by hand weeding as soon as it becomes necessary and de- stroy all weeds as soon as started. The plants must be thinned to a stand of about 10 to th e foot for large onions, in about 1 month from the time the plants appear. If the cul- tivating and weeding has been thor- oughly done and the ground was clean at the start, they will need no further care until ready to gather. We cannot too highly recommend the Man-Weight Cultivator, as illus- trated here, for handling a crop of onions and for all other light culti- vating on the farm, in garden or truck patch. See back pages of this Catalogue for further particulars of the Man-Weight Cultivators and Drills. 6.
