Each blade backs into the ground heel first as the machine trundles overhead, comes out point last, leaving the loose dirt in the hole but removing the surplus seedlings. Last year Dixie Cultivator Corp. sold 403 one-row choppers at $157.50 each. In 1938 it will turn out 2,500 machines, 60% of the two-row type...
