It is not a ditlicult matter to separate the two grains as they grow in the field together. The rye heads out several days earlier than wheat, and it spires up a foot or more higher, making it very conspicuous. It is an easy matter to go through the field with a pair of shears and clip off all the rye heads, cutting down low enough to reach those that are behind In growth.
