nection with a plow is obviously of a labor-
saving nature, since it performs at one oper-
ation the work of chopping the- stalks re-
maining from a previous crop and plowing
5 the stalks under to prepare the land for a
new crop which heretofore has been usually
done by a separate operation.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new, is:
10 In a stalk cutting attachment for plows,
the combination with a plow beam, of a
frame including side members clamped on
said beam and having outwardly offset por-
tions bent to form slots at their lower ends,
15 bolts extending vertically through the slot-
ted portions of the side members, a shaft
having apei-tured ends guided on the bolts,
cutter carrying members supported for ro-
tation on the shaft, and inclined brace mem-
bers connected at their lower forward ends 20
with the lower ends of the bolts extending
through the slotted portions of the frame
members, the upper rear ends of said brace
members being connected with the plow
beam. 25
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
