INTERCROPPING OF CONTINUOUS CROPS 187 



Where a farmer is equipped with a motor and its 

 complementary implements — motor plough, disc 

 motor plough, motor disc harrow and cultivator — 

 there is not the same need for inter-cropping when 

 the latter is undertaken for the purpose of avoiding 

 a high pressure of work after harvest. With such a 

 plant, even where the land has become baked, the 

 corn and tare stubbles can be rapidly cultivated and 

 sown. 



THE MOTOR AND INTER- CROPPING 



The fact that the land is also dry facilitates the work 

 of the motor. Land, however, may be so baked in 

 autumn as not to permit of motor ploughing with the 

 ordinary type of implement, but it is under such con- 

 ditions that a well-made motor disc plough does its 

 best work, ploughing the land or part cultivating it 

 at one operation.
