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

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.
