Value Of The Stalk Cutter.

1.-THE land. The cutters does nice
work in the cotton field in the
spring where oats have beer
sowed in the open furrow in the
fall before the cotton was al
gathered.
In cutting stalks. they should
be dry to get the best results, In
cutting up your corn stalks, you
leave a lot of vegetable matter in
la quic KID ecaying form
upon your land.
You can work your corn land in
cotton without being bothered
with the stalks; while if your
stalks were not cut, on land
where corn is planted 18 inches

next to impossible to tend it well.

at night, and have an old stick

notice every morning to see that
all nuts are properly tight before
taken to the field.
One man and pair of mules
can cut six acres of 81 foot cotton
rows, or ten acres of five-foot
corn rows per day of ten houls.
I claim that a stalk cutter is a
great labor-saver as well as a
land-enricher, because of the
manner in which it leaves the
corn and cotton stalks. 20. G.
