0. K. Champion Potato Planter No. 25 



Has a seed-dropping device con- 

 sisting of the endless-cup sys- 

 tem, one wliich is recognized as 

 the most accurate. The seed 

 Is piclced up and de- 

 posited on a dial plate 

 which is equipped 

 with pockets for the 

 reception of the seed 

 pieces, where any cor- 

 rection necessary can 

 be made, insuring ab- 

 solutely one piece to 

 every hill. Tests have 

 proven that this ma- 

 chine will plant abso- 

 lutely 100 per cent. 

 .,^n,,ofov,i J ^ correct. The cups are 



adjustable and permit perfect planting for large or small 

 pieces. The distances of dropping are 12, 15 and 18 inches. 



the hopper is of steel construction, fitted with a sliding bot- 

 tom, which causes a steady feed, and a guard permits the cups 

 to single out the seed pieces, no matter what the shape may 

 be. Two shoes are used for making the furrow. The first 

 opens the trench for the reception of the fertilizer The sec- 

 ond opens It deeper, spreading a thin coat of dirt over the fer- 

 tilizer so as not to allow same to come directly in contact with 

 the potatoes. The discs are 14 inches 



Tlie seat at the rear enables the operator to be in position 

 where he can oversee the entire work and gives him access to 

 the levers, one of which raises or lowers the shoe and discs- 

 the other throws the seed feed in or out of gear Whenever 

 regular sized pieces and a steady team are used it is not 

 always necessary to use two men on this planter. The driver 

 can operate it from the rear seat. 



This machine can also be converted into an automatic 

 planter. 



This planter embodies all requisites necessary to make it 

 a durable rnaclilne, and in construction it is very simple 



Weiglis with fertilizer attachment about 350 pounds

0. K. Champion Potato Digger 



The O. K. Cham- 

 pion Digger with 

 its many superior 

 features commends 

 itself to the care- 

 ful buyer. It has 

 stood the test of 

 years and has 

 many times proven 

 to be the victor in 

 the potato field ov- 

 er all competitors. 

 Its construction 

 embodies all the 

 essential features 

 which make it ab- 

 solutely reliable. 

 It is built with a 

 view to simple- 

 ness, doing away 



with all unnecessary wearing parts, which accounts for its easy draught. 

 Two horses will do the work with ease. Tiiere is no chain drive to cause 

 friction and wear; only two gear wheels are employed on the entire ma- 

 chine. 



The shovel is 20 Inches wide, scooping up that width of ground and pota- 

 toes, depositing them on the elevator separating apron, whose links are 

 alternately raised and lowered. These run over a sprocket agitator, which 

 keeps the apmn continviously agitated up and down, causing the separation 

 to be done with the least possible power requirements and giving the ma- 

 chine a rood separating capacity. The potatoes then fall upon the rear 

 shaking fork rower, thoroughly cleanin-r anv remaining dirt from the pota- 

 toes, and depositing them in a row of about 12 Inches behind the machine. 



0. K. CHAMPION 

 POTATO CUTTER 



Cuts potatoes 

 in exact sizes 

 that are best 

 suited to plant 

 with any power 

 planter. To cut 

 by hand means 

 all shapes, both 

 large and small. 

 Will cut five to 

 seven bushels per 

 hour. No power 

 planter can plant 

 correctly unless 

 the tubers are, 

 cut an exact size. 

 Planting large 

 sized seed in- 

 sures a better 

 stand because there is more nourishment fur- 

 nished the young plant than can be had from 

 small seed. Many times it has been noticed that 

 many potatoes will be up three or four inches be- 

 fore' others break through the surface, and fre- 

 quently they never show themselves, w^^ich failure 

 is placed to bad seed, when really it is owing to 

 too small seed.
