As generally understood, the chief object of cultivation is to kill
weeds. This is an erroneous idea, however, as the appearance of weeds
serves simply as Nature's reminder of the necessity of immediate

their germs have been destroyed by the process of cultivation before
they could make their appearance above the ground.
