ADS f o: j-At E |fs{ -. U ■ '; L X ^ I b S U 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.
