Owing to the unusally wet fall and winter, there has been very little land broken for corn,
therefore it is necessary to get a planter that will do the work on unbroke land, as well as on that
which is well prepared, for tho farmer to get his corn planted in tho proper time, and 111 the best
possible manner. We have such a planter, and it is guaranteed to give satisfaction.
This Planter Will Open
ThE FURROW.
Drop and cover the corn all in one
operation, it if a two-horse planter,
and will use a large corn shovel or
sweep either as desired to open the
furrow, and then all that is neces-
sary to put your corn in the best
condition, is to break out tho mid*
<lles, and your crop is planted in first-class shape. Wo are offering this celebrated planter at the
extremely*low ptice of $15.00, to in;roducu it. Wo also have the Disc Check How cotton and
corn planter which can't be equaled for a check row planter by anything on the market.
