[AJD] Went to a Sale Today

[Ronald L. Cook]

Jim,
	I got that part.......did alot of it.  Throw out first.  The discs 
cultivate the sides of the lister ridges and the shovels cultivate next 
to the row.  Next you throw in.  The discs move the ridges into the crop 
and the shovels plow out the remainder of the ridge that the disc can't 
get.  Then by the 4th of July when it is knee high, you start to "lay 
by" the corn with a shovel plow or high-up or whatever that cultivator 
is called locally.  Last cultivation of the season.
