Good Drilling Gives You Bigger Crops and 

 a Better Grade of Grain — That's Why it 

 Pays to Use Deering and McCormick Drills 



Deering and McCormick Grain Drills are made in five sizes— 9, 11, 13, 15 

 and 17 coulters— and are interchangeable from disc to hoe, or vice-versa 



One of the most important steps in producing- a big crop is to see that the 

 seed — all of it — is put into the ground right. You can't expect the best 

 results if all the seed is not drilled at a uniform depth. The seed which is 

 put down in the moist firm soil will grow faster, larger and stronger than 

 that scattered and poorly covered on or near the dry surface. The result will 

 be an uneven stand, uneven ripening and a poor grade. 



There are certain features of Deering and McCormick drills that give you 

 the best possible assurance that the seed will all be drilled at an even depth 

 down in the soil, where it will get the necessary moisture and plant food. 

 Chief among these features are the seed delivery and the pressure arrangement. 

 If you will carefulh^ study these features of Deering and McCormick drills 

 you will see where they mean better crops for you. Then, there is the feed 

 system that carries the grain out instead of forcing it out. This system as 

 well as preventing the cracking of the seed, eliminates all possibility of the 

 seed bunching in the feed cup and dropping so that the grain grows up in 

 thick clumps or patches. There is no questioning that evenly drilled seed 

 — Deering and McCormick drilled seed — produces a more even stand 

 from which follows even ripening, a better colour, a better grade and a 

 better price. That's why it pays to use Deering and McCormick 

 Drills. Send for catalogue.
