important in controUing injury to
potatoes. Even properly adjusted
diggers with the share set deeply
and with minimum agitation end'
proper padding, will continue to
cause severe injury le potatoes
unless the apron speed is adjusted
correctly.
The apron speed necessary for
proper operation is edittrolled by
the forwerd speed of the opepation
of the tractor and digger. In a
test at the Central Experimental
Flarm, Ottawa, a digger was used
with twelve different speeds of
elevator chain. it was found that
the 'slower, the chain moved, the
lessinjury resulted. However, a
point was reached where the dig
ger did not operate properly and
the soil and potatoes piled in front
of the share partially plugging the
digger.
These tests show that the .apron
chain could the operated more
slowly than is normally the ease.
By reducing the apron speed' with
a gear box—optional equipment on
some diggers—from 200 feet per
minute to 110 feet per minute, the

injury was redneed from. 13 per
cent to 4. per cent. By increati-
ing the speed to 280 feet per TAM,
ute the injuu increased to 2116
per cent.
With most diggers driven from
the PoWer takeoff of the traetor,
the injury may, be decreased by
operating ...the tractor in Second
gear rather than lo* gear. -This
reduces the speed ratio of apron
speed to forWard speed and this
ratio influences injury as much
as speed of the apron. For best
results the apron speed should be
approximately the same as the for-
ward spieed of the_digger. If con-
ditiens are ileal, the speed ratio
may be reduced to .75 to 1. In
ether words the apron speed is 25
per 'cent slower than the forward
'speed.
Potato diggers with a gear box
will eause -less injury when the
gear box is adjusted to low gear
and the tractor in second gear. If
the 'digger should plug in bad
areas of the field, the transmission
could then be adjusted to inter -
Mediate to operate through the
tough spot but t avoid injury the
speed should be set back to low
as soon as conditions improve.
As a generai rule, the apron
speed should be as slow as pos-
sible, depending on the digging

. CROP REPORT .
Wet weather continues to hinder
farm operations. White bean
growers made little headway with
the harvesting of this crop, ap-
proximately 50 per 'oent of the
beans have yet to be pulled. In
many cases fields are too wet for
silo filling and for fall plowing.
However, ideal plowing conditions
prevailed on the 1611d selected for
the two county plowing matches
this week.
