When the seedlings have grown over the height of one’s fist and are able to be transplanted, spread karip< (known locally as kaŭlch’o) >or cattle or horse manure over the [previously] plowed section where the seedlings were planted first. When it becomes time to transplant the seedlings, plow again according to the method of cultivating rice to ready and prepare the soil, making it extremely fine. For each transplanting, plant no more than four or five seedlings. Since they have not yet taken root, do not irrigate them heavily. <This method is convenient for weeding, [but] in case of severe drought then the crops will be lost, which is a matter of risk for the farm.>
