al
me object attained by this early
deep cultivation is, first. to loosen or
aerate the soil. The shovels are run
close to the row. in fact, frequently
90 close ~ to lift the potato In 1ts
bed, to . certain extent, along with
the soil. This not only loosens the
coil to . depth OF eight. ten or
twelve inches, but at the same time
pulls out the alfalfa roots and old
stems 20 that no further trouble is
experienced from spr6uting alfalfa.
The greatest danger Of failure
with the inexperienced man In hand
ling these cultivacors is that the
shoveis are not set at the proper
angle to get best results. To make
1t possible to irrigate properly 1t is
necessary to have the potatoes In
ridge and have a ditch between the
rows at least eight inches deep. and
eight or ten inches wide at the bot
tom This is particularly essential
in the more level lands Of the Gree
ley districts. but in the mountain
districts the ditch need not be so
deep or wide.
This ditching begins with the first
cultivation. Both shovels of the cul-
tivator are set at such an angle that
as the soil slides over them 1t Is turn
ed toward the row or in this case
1t is thrown toward the cultiva-
tor. II, the shovels are set properly
the ground is left with ridge over
the row higher than that left by the
planter and considerable trough
| between the rows. But one trough
will be seen to each row. II the
teeth are not set at this angle, each
cultivator shovel will leave its mark
between the rows This will not ap-
pear 80 essential to the grower until
the second cultivation.
1t might be well to say before go
ing further that one of the important
things is to follow this first cultiva
should be done at least each half da!
and the harrow run lengthwise with
4 the rows 30 AZ to pulverlze th'
tear down the ridge over the row
left by the cultivatOr.
About ten days from the first cui
tivation the potatoes should be ri
sufficiently to enable the grower t
follow the rows for the second culti
walton. This time It 10 sometimes es
sential to use guards on the culti
vator to prevent knocking down ant
covering the young plants. II tn
soil IL not ridged up after the firs
cultivation 1t will be difficult to pre-
vent burying many Of the plant
with the second cultivation. TIL
second cultivation should accentuat
the ridge and the ditch between tn
rows should be deepened. Many o
our most successful growers do no
