HALLOCK
Riding Weeder
The Hallock Success Anti-Clog Weeder will earn its way the first |year you use it. If
you have 100 acres of grain and will cultivate 90 acres of it twice, once in March and once in
the first week in April, and pay us the excess of wheat or oats the cultivated grain makes
and averages above the 10 acres not cultivated, the Weeder is yours. You may use it in
your cornbefore it puts out sucker roots. You may use it in your cotton until July, your Mil-
let and other crops. Just leave a strip without that Weeder cultivation and see the difference
in growth and yields.
We will gladly give you the Free Deal above, or we will accept your note for $38.00
without interest, due July 1st. We wish we could give you the names of all the farmers
who have quadrupled the cost of one the first year.
For instance, one man with 20 acres of cotton in 1921, made four bales of cotton using
ip
the Weeder. His neighbor, with 20 acres of cotton not using the Weeder made one bale
th
The three bales more of yield made ip attributed largely to the use of the Weeder.
You should have a Weeder at work on your grain as soon as the heavy freezes are over.
If you will do the work, we will risk the pay. Let us show you the best money maker ever
brought to your farm.
