Montgomery, Ala., 9uly 23.—^An
army reserve officer-farmer is using
a flame thrower to cUltivete his cot-
*ton and do the work of weed and
grass killing now generally done by
manual hoeing.
Jets of 2$00-degree flames are re
placing cotton hoers oa his planta
tion, and crops farmed in this fash
ion apparently are faring better than
thoee in companion flcl# cultivated
in the traditional manner.
The machine kilk the grass; seem
ingly doesn't injure toe cotton.
Capt. Price Mri^emore, who has
been called from his farm to Gunter
field as a reserve officer, estimates
throwers he devised can be built for
one-mule plows at $10 eadi and fig-
ues this type cultivation costs only
10 cents an awre. He built a model
himself on an outky. QfJfl...^.
Tkme cultivation it as simpk as
it is cheap. In the pilot modek one
mounted on a hand-plow and a two-
row outfit on the front pf a tractor,
fuel oil and compressed air are used
to ixovide, the flame.
Spouting from jets oiv either Side
of tha row, the flames strUce the
ground a couple of inches or so from,
the cottim stalks and blanket the area t <
between. At present, a sweep plow is ^
mounted briiind the tractor to culti
vate the middle in the ordinary man
ner.
The tractor moves at regular cul
tivating speed, and McLmdoip esti
mates that boto grass and toe cottim
are subjected to a one-fifteenth of a
sec<md treatment of 2$00-degrae
heat.
Except for the withering of ten-
derest grass, there’s apparently no,
change inunedkteiy as the tractor j
moves alcmg. But four hours kter the I
seemingly uninjured grass turns
brown a^ dies to its roots.
The<-representative of an imple
ment company who came to look
over McLcmore’s gadget reported his
analysis showed that cells of the
grass bkdes were exploded by steam
generated within them and that the
plant died of something like suffo
cation. •
The stalk of the crop, being ex
ceedingly thick (in comparison to
grass), is able to distribute the heat
so rapidly that no portion of the
|dant will be subjected to serious
heating, whereas the thin bkdes of
grass absorb but can not readily dis
sipate the heat.
It works on com as well as co^
McLemore said.
