The Auto cuItivator.

wv SNSsO S0sSsVaSOTs
An auto cultivator has been invent
ed, and the reports frop those who
have tested 1t are very favorable. The
machine is propelled by standard FIVE
horsepower gasoline motorcycle engine
mounted on the front end. The en-
CINE also drives three revolving disks
having spring steel cultivator teeth.
The operator walks behind and steers
the machine BY means Of wooden han.
dies. The speed Of the engine, the
traction wheels and culhvator disks
are controlled by small levers control
led by the operators fingers.
The teeth In the revolving disks pull
verize the soil as the machine moves
forard. and AZ the machine Is small
and under easy control It can be car
rted closer to plants than horse
drawn implement. and It can be turned
at the end OF a row within a space of
about two feet The weight Of the
machine Is 800 pounds. About thirty
pounds Of the weight is behind the
axles to keep the cuItivator teeth in the
ground. The rest Of the weight Is di.
vided between the two traction wheels,
the ground to pressure of
about l25 pounds by each wheel. A
horse weighs about 1000 pounds and
in walking lifts two feet at a time. this
throwing his whole weight on two
feet or 800 pounds to each foot. An
hours practice Is usually all the nov
tce requires to enable him to operate
the machine perfectly.

mology at Washington with a request
for question blank. The question to
be answered is merely as to whether
the wheat growers crop was infested
at certain seasons. The farmer will
then be asked to forward some of the
infested wheat plants for examination,
postage to be paid by the government.
He will also be asked to give his name.
address and nearest railway station.
Probably no other insect causes more
damage to the wheat crop in the Unit
ed States than the Hessian fly, al
though there are certain years when
the chinch bug exceeds the fly in its
devastations
A number Of years ago there was in
Kansas general cooperation between
grain dealers. millers and farmers to
restrict the ravages Of this dangerous
insect. According to their own esti-
mate. over a million dollars was saw
ed by prompt action and thorough
measures. This year the department
hopes to secure general cooperation
throughout the country in combating
the pest. There are indications that
its ravages may be severe. Already
in Iowa and Oklahoma there have been
threatening outbreaks of the insect.
Not only are federal and state or
CARNATIONS Of the government COOP
Grating in this campaign. but others,
such as the National Millers' fedora
ton. are working to secure better con-
troll over the Hessian fly. The indi-
vidual wheat grower is asked to send
his samples Of infested straw before
the middle Of September. and sooner
If possible. as after that the fly will
have Matched and have entered into
the wheat.
Late sowing of the seed and burning
Of the stubble when not seeded to
grass or clover are the only measures
known to date that are effective in
controlling the Hessian fy-that is, for
winter wheat growing sections. In
the spring wheat sections late seeding
will not apply. On the contrary, the
earlier It fs sown in the spring the
less It seems to suffer from this pest.
