A Member: We have a great deal of trouble with that. How do you get these bushy bushes to lie down?
Mr. Johnson: I take three or four canes, and kind of twist them, give them a little twist, and lay them flat on the ground.
Mr. Anderson: Don't you take out any dirt on the sides?
Mr. Johnson: No, sir; sometimes I might put a shovel of ground against them to bend the canes over.
Mr. Rogers: Do you plant in the hedge row or in the hill system?
Mr. Johnson: In the hedge row. I think it is better because they protect one another.
Mr. Ludlow: How far do you put them apart in the hedge row?
Mr. Johnson: Four feet. That is the trouble with the King, if you don't keep them down, your rows will get too wide.
A Member: I heard you say a while ago you covered these. Do you plow them after you get them down or do you cover them with a shovel?
Mr. Johnson: I cover mostly with a shovel. Sometimes I take a small plow through.
