Book 3 — Forceps for Weeding Garden
Reading edition
Difficulty in removing small weeds around plants in the garden may be overcome by the use of a forceps made of a piece of wire, as shown in the illustration. The wire is formed into two loops by which the weeds are grasped, and the portion held in the hand is bent to form a circular spring. Its tension may be regulated so that the hand will not be tired in using the device.—Contributed by Irving McEwen, New Westminster, B. C., Canada.
