The Janesville Planter is made adjnstable in width 3 feet to 4 feet. 

 After tiie corn planter was developed so as to retain a high average per 

 cent, of aumber^of kernels that one desired to plant in a hill, the next 

 step was to distribute hills according to fertility of soil. 

 Tills is effected by changing drop from a lesser to a 

 greater number of kernels at operator's will. 



This quick change of nnmber of kernels to the hill — - 

 2. •'! or 4 — is effected very simply. By operating a small 

 baud lever within easy reach, operator sets chitch so 

 as to turn seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth or one-third 

 of a revolution, giving 2. .3 

 „^^^__^ or 4 kernels to hill. See cut. 



'y'^ff^^^ The following points in 



tyK^t^K^ construction of .Tanesville 



Y'llll^F l»'-a^"'™"'Tnry!I^sr'=!=» corn r'm'ers should he

t il jtWKlL^^^jfflBjp^y*^^^^^— 1. Convertible drop — edge 

 ~|p I^B { \_^'^~ ™'i~T^^~W or flat. This feature was 

 55>^ ' — devised to meet the condi- 



tion where a farmer on oc- 



'-^•Jp^rwg; casion may not care to take 



^ "g a^^ _ the time to select his seed 



com. 



ig^ga gE j^ T ^,. 2. Automatic throw-off to 



^ wire — a feature which great- 



The»Onick Chang-e 2, 3 or 4 Kernels, simplifies the operation of 

 ^ machine. 



3. Automatic distribution of wire on reel — another later and time- 

 saving feature. 



4. Chain or gear drive planters with adjustable drop. 



The disk marker is a great improvement on the drag marker usually 

 employeo. 



A steel chain is attached to raising lever in such way that it can be 

 made automatic in the operation or set so that operator releases wire at 

 his will. 



Through the improved construction it is possible for operator to change 

 from hill drop to drill drop witliout leaving his seat or even without stop- 

 ping team. A combined foot drop and drill drop attachment is placed to 

 rocker shaft, which enables operator, by simply pressing this lever by the 

 center, to lock valves in planter opening and tlirow clutch into gear so it 

 will run continuousl.v and, of course, drill. When used as a foot drop 

 simply do not press the lever down so far. 



Valves on Janesville Planter are so placed that there is no possibility 

 of mixing the hills. Upper valve is located so (lose to seed plate that it 

 cannot get out of time, and lower valve is so constructed that it can 

 free itself readily from dirt or trash that may get into it. The valve 

 movement ensures your being alwa.vs in check whether you drive fast or 

 slow, and rows will be straight. The force feed takes care of Increased 

 momentum in fast driving. 



Change from edge drop to flat drop is effected by simply altering seed 

 plates. Change from hilling to drilling is made hy throwing clutch in 

 gear with lever. Lastly, without stopping team. 2, :j or 4 kernels may be 

 dropped to a hill by operating small liand lever within eas.v reach. 



A riKl running from rear axle to front frame throws machine out of 

 gear when raised at ends to turn around. 



Outside of driving gear, '.n every other way No. 7 Planter is equipped 

 same as No. Planter. *
