CANTON DITCHING PLOW 

 DOES IT. 



N these times of farm progress, no 

 more are drainage ditches dug by 

 hand at slow and painful length. 

 Modern machinery has made ditch 

 digging easy and cheap. One of the 

 latest inventions of this kind is the 

 Canton Ditching Plow, the only plow 

 of the kind manufactured.. It cuts a 

 20-inch furrow, throws the dirt three 

 feet each way, when used with ex- 

 tension wings, and leaves a clean, 

 smooth ditch. The plow is con- 

 structed of heavy oak, well seasoned, 

 the beam being reinforced and 

 strengthened by a heavy steel strap 

 running along its underside and at- 

 tached to the standard in the rear. 

 It is really a double plow of two or- 

 dinary bar shares and molds, one 

 right and one left hand, securely bolt- 

 ed, both bars extending back in the 

 center of the furrow, thus making an 

 effective gauge shoe. The plows are 

 handled and the depth of the furrow- 

 regulated by adjustable truck or fore 

 carriage. This can be set for any 

 depth, both for first and second plow- 

 ing and the wheels are set apart to 

 ride the bank when plowing the sec- 

 ond time. By means of wings which 

 have a lateral adjustment and an ex- 

 treme sweep of six feet; when plow- 

 ing the first time the dirt is thrown 

 away from the bank, leaving a clean 

 surface for the truck wheel to ride. 

 The plain plow weighs 340 pounds 

 and the wings add 50 pounds more. 

 It is so strongly built that it may 

 be safely used with six or eight 

 horses. It is manufactured by the 

 Parlin & Orendorff Company, of Can- 

 ton, 111., who will be pleased to sup- 

 ply any additional information desired.

Look these wagons over carefully. They are built to meet every condition 

 to fill every requirement and whether you buy a Weber, Columbus, New Bet- 

 tendorf, or Steel King, you will get the same satisfactory service. 



Only the toughest, most carefully selected, air dried and perfectly seasoned 

 wood is used in the Weber construction. Weber wagon boxes and gears are pro- 

 tected by paint and varnish of the best quality, applied by workmen who have 

 made wagon painting a life-long study. For 65 years the Weber wagonjhas been 

 king of the wagon world. 



Columbus wagons are favorites with exacting farmers. The gears are made of 

 selected oak and hickory, strongly ironed. The wheels have oak rims and oak 

 and hickory spokes. The wheel is properly tired and banded. Superior work- 

 manship and high-class material, assures the durability and light-running 

 qualities which characterize every Columbus wagon. 



The New Bettendorf has given general satisfaction because it has exception- 

 al strength, light-running qualities, and is very durable. It has a one-piece 

 tubular steel axle, and the wheels are the same quality as those used on 

 the Weber. 



The Steel King is a new I H C wagon and i; is up to the I H C standard 

 It is the only steel gear wagon on the market having an axle and 

 skein with internal reinforcements and a bolster having an adjust- 

 able stake.
