Pea, Beet, Onion Seed, and Potato Production in Southern Idaho (undated)

fabricated with the art the dusting equipment utilizes an oil drum for the dust hopper fitted with an agitator at the bottom and a blower assembly is driven by means of v-belt drives from the power take-off of the tractor the distributor tubes are made of welded steel pipe and the area covered by the machine is approximately 60 feet the field tests of the operation of this unit show that the dust delivery is uniform throughout the length of the tube 3/8 inch holes on 3 and centers in the bottom of the steel tubes allow a uniform distribution of the dust to the pea vines the dust used for the control of pea weevil in the Palouse area is a 1% rotenone which comes ready mixed with a suitable carriers such as talc or diatomaceous earth effective control of the pea Weaver a means of materially reducing engine see the Harvard class is found on the dress chuckling said rather Idaho where Santa drain header is been remodeled and we for cutting and elevating the seed head next to the ends of trucks five-man crew operating header in front is able to harvest the seed heads other races whatever required 50 men and cutting in today this 1 to 10 ratio of Labor's for mechanical harvesting of onion seeds reduces production parts and makes possible greater profit from this crap the mechanics please harvesting speed I handled the same as your handcuffs there's a pile on trial mass and teeth for about two weeks period until they are drying up on the scene slices onion seed production promises to be one of the most important as a rapidly growing season totally this variable touch be choppy and then if I know them better simplest and most effective chopping mechanism design this preliminary field trial but that's happened they've made an advocate 1923 on the back branches bollocks the operation of the John Deere beat harvester and Idaho the 1974 the capacity ranging from two and a half to five times per hour depending upon the field condition and the beef yield some difficulty was experienced in obtaining field operators for the eight machines that were sponsored by the major sugar companies its seasonal operation is you know the progress has been made in the mechanization of be harvesting operation and I just uh need the beets we handled by equipment designed the type of single rolls and pala B and leave in separate windows letting the beets in the wind roll with the confit by several different types of loading the John Deere loaders thrown in operation has a capacity of one ton of beats per minute making it possible for one loader to handle the popping operation of two or more machines the chick floater developed in Wyoming and the high load is developed it's happenes Washington were used for loading both some machines hopping in fantastic ingenious farmers have been successful and rebuilding their potato biggest and compound banks for beef mutton use the piece mothers were built by the youth cider or sugar companies following the plans of the inventors mythic pieces perfect other two of these units were operated in Idaho you haven't being sent to neighboring states the Keith motor is a very privileged built machine however the field operation is rugged slow but his help to overcome these difficulties and in general satisfy his project has been made and in signing this machine mechanization of beat harvesting head they say that there is no doubt that that procedure be forgotten we can write me on mechanized harvested these views are of the trials of the Scott Reiner beat harvester combine that Twin Falls Idaho in cooperation with the beet sugar Manufacturers Association and the United States Department of Agriculture year of agricultural chemistry and engineering the studies are under the direction of mr. Levine and mr. McBurney and direct charge field trials of the be harvesting machinery developed by the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the University of California has given evidence of improvement in mechanism and application mr. Roy Boehner of the University of California is in charge of the determination of accuracy efficiency and application of the harvesting machinery University of Idaho field tests of sugar beet machinery at the Berkeley Larson Ranch at Idaho Falls in cooperation with the West mount tractor company during these trials hand topped unloaded beets averaged 9% tear while machine chopping and welding every seven and fourteen hundred percent tear under the same field conditions with a four man crew consisting of a tractor driver a machine operator and two men to clean up the beach left in the roll the machine topped and loaded at the rate of a hundred feet of roll in 1/2 minute the beet harvester showed an advantage of five to one on a man hours and time basis or a saving of 80% of the hand labor involved in the bead harvesting operation the truck requirements were eight times greater for the machine than for the hand operation this gives a distinct advantage to the transport of the beach from the field the ultimate development of the beet harvesting equipment should include a to roll time lifter termination with a basket type hopper dump mechanism that would permit loading the truck at the ends of the rows the mechanization the beam harvesting has not developed to the stage that it has influenced the contract price charged this power horse tractor is a four-wheel drive unit steered by clutches which transmit the power independently to each set of tandem dual wheels the tractor is driven by a set of reins attached to the steering levers which also control the master clutch & gear shift in feet eight inches at the center Ridge the bins are arranged on a 60 degree angle which permits the trucks to drive through the cellar and back into the bin section 36 bins provide a capacity of 60 1200 bags or 170 car loads the cellar is provided with a ventilating system consisting of three large vents above the middle aisle and four 18-inch inlets along the outer edge with air ducts at the bottom of every bin by means of electrically operated potato filers the bins are filled to the height of ten to twelve feet the potatoes are wash sorted and packed on electrically operated tables under modern fluorescent light man in the city this is about 1/2 they can graduate to feel kicking in day the number and successful potato combines and then develop was the single and zero size Cara Lee Johnson of Idaho Falls is the inventor of the machine used by Harold Ynez on a faggot all these machines were included in the equipment and mr. Nagel use these five hundred acres of potatoes in the teen operating on mr. Johnson's place that Idaho fire so the latest development and vine and cloud removal
