description: Patent for a new and improved corn and cotton sweep. This design
 "is to provide an improved sweep for the cultivation of corn, cane, and cotton
 plants while they are young, which shall be capable of adjustment to
 plow-stocks of any class; to provide removable wings which can be applied or
 detached when it is desired to throw the dirt or soil to either the right or
 left; and to provide a removable point which can be replaced when it is worn
 out with another point of similar construction and thus render the sweep as
 good as new and save the farmer the cost of a new sweep" (lines 16-27).
