International Cultivators (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from International Cultivators <p>The cultivator has much to do with favorable growing conditions for the corn. Thorough stirring of the soil around the corn roots and between the rows is what makes the corn grow. Moisture is thereby conserved, weeds are kept out, and the corn receives the full benefit of both rain and sun. <p>Corn comes on rapidly when once above the ground - so do the weeds. It is therefore essential in a cultivator that it stirs the soil thoroughly to the right depth and plows out the weeds. It must also have staying qualities. It must be easy to handle and adjust so that cultivator, man and team can keep going steadily throughout the day, and day after day, without loss of time. <p>Where a large number of acres are planted with corn, the rapidity with which one field can be finished, and the cultivating in another one started, often means a partial failure or a good crop yield. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
