The P. & O. No. Ill Listi
This lister is known to fanners wherever sold as P. & O. No.
11) but the improved type is called No. Ill on account of impor-
tant improvements.
There are more of them in the hands of farmers *han all
makes combined,—over 2,000 sold by one dealer in one county in West Texas. The
features ^?n this Lister made it deserving of its immense sale. Its use is not confined to
preparing for row crops; it is now almost universally used for plowing for small grain crops
by listing and re-listing, leaving the ground in oval waves, which not only catches
and holds the moisture but prevents the loose soils of the West
from blowing away.
The adjusting link on front end of beam is «n important exclusive featore on the No.
Ill, absolutely preventing^he point from running below the desired depth. The-wheels
are provided with dust-proof boxes, an immense help in the sandy loam lands of the Weal?
The feeding device absolutely deposits one seed at t time of any of the row crops,
besides can be equipped for both corn and cotton. Tou will have to see this won-
derful improvement to appreciate it. The tilting hoppers allow change of plates
without emptying them. Furnished with either disc or shovel coverers. This Lister embodied
many other important features that will convince you that it is the best on the nurket.
The P. & O. No. 123 4-Wheel Lister
This lister has all the advantage of the No. Ill and in addition has re«r wheels. This is desired in many Ucalities M it enables the OH**tQ[ to
see the seed as planted. The rear wheels have cushion springs to hold them inline with the row apd following the uneveness of "
the ground and cuuform to the ridge without straining the rear frame, compelling also, the Lister to remain in proper working JK>- i
sition at all times. The friction lock disengages automatically, allowing the wheels to castor and turn round in a very small i
