FARM AND GARDEN LABOB-S A VERS , 



The daily work of farmers, truckers, and market- 

 gardeners isn't as hard as it used to be. The labor 

 has been lessened, and at the same time results have 

 been increased. A man can get more bushels of 

 grain or truck from an acre of ground to-day than 

 he could a few years ago, 

 and he doesn't have to 

 work so hard to do it. 

 The adoption of up-to- 

 date methods in which 

 the federal government 

 with its experiment sta- 

 tions is aiding him. and 

 the use of up-to-date 

 tools, which the agricul- 

 tural-implement mak- 

 ers have put on the 

 market, combine to take 

 away the greater part of 

 the drudgery that was 

 formerly a necessary 

 part of agricultural ef- 

 fort. Along this line 

 nothing has contributed 

 so much as the tools known as the "Planet Jr." 

 These implements not only lighten and lessen farm 

 work, but they save seed, time, and money. 



The Planet Jr. tools for farm and garden have an 

 establishfd reputation for quality as well as effi- 

 ciency, and they are popular everywhere. They are 

 used as successfully in Egypt and other foreign 

 countries as they are in all sections of our own land 

 They represent the most advanc d thought and 

 ideas in farm-implement making, and hardly a year 

 passes without the introduction of some new device 

 or improvement to increase their usefulness to the 

 man who tills the soil. 



S. L Allen & Co., of Philadelphia, make the 

 Planet Jr tools, and they issue a handsome catalog 

 describing them. You ought to have one of these 

 catalof s, whether you think you need more tools or 

 not. The book is generously illustrated with photo- 



graphic scenes showing modern methods of farming 

 and gardening as it is actually beirg done with the 

 Planet Jr. tools. If vou will drop a postal to S. L. 

 Allen & Co., box 1106S, Philadelphia they will be 

 pleased to send you one of these catalogs.
