    The most common weeds in our farm are the thistle, the docker, and the rag-weed.
    The thistle grows on good land, and it spreads very rapidly, because the seed blows off it. The thistle does not make the land poor.
    The docker, and the rag-weed grow on good land, the rag-weed does not make the land poor, but the docker does. There weeds do not grow on bad land.
