four. The Provo estimates gave an average of 4.6. Sixty-eight 

 records in the Garland districts indicated the use of a four-row cul- 

 tivator .(fig- 6), which was operated by crews consisting of one man 

 and two horses. Similar crews were reported in connection with 22 

 Provo estimates, and for 34 farms at Idaho Falls. There were 13 

 estimates at Garland and 34 at Provo which showed the use of a 

 two-row cultivator, the crews in this case being one man and one horse. 

 The Provo district had the largest number of two-row cultivators.
