“‘But the hoers, now, Ischomachus, why do you put them on the corn?’“‘I presume you know that in winter there is a heavy rainfall?’“‘Of course.’“‘Let us assume, then, that part of the corn is waterlogged and covered with mud, and some of the roots are exposed by flooding. And it often happens, you know, that in consequence of rain weeds spring up among the corn and choke it.’
