A great many fields have certain portions which are very difficult to treat with power machinery, owing to the presence of ditches, stumps, short rows, or similar obstacles. Attempts to treat these portions of the fields with large machinery greatly reduce the rapidity of the Operation of the machine and frequently the cot ton is injured by being tramped and driven over. Under such condi tions the efficiency of the large machine is much increased if a few hand guns with which to treat these difficult portions are available for use at intervals.
