Mew-Way a decided advantage over all other planters. But by 

 hese other advantages, we have perfected a corn, planter which

One of the greatest features of the 

 New-Way Corn Planter is that the 

 "drop," or the number of kernels planted 

 to the hill, can be changed instantly by 

 simply a touch of the toe. With this 

 planter it is not necessary to change the 

 seed plates in order to change the drop 

 from two to three or four as is true of 

 other planters. By simply shifting a 

 lever with the toe of the shoe the drop 

 can be instantly changed as desired while 

 the planter is in operation. 



The Rotary Fork Reduces Wear 

 Another great advantage which the 

 New-Way possesses over all other plant- 

 ers is its rotary or revolving forks. Un 

 like other planters, it throv/s practically 

 no strain v/hatever upon the wire when 

 in operation. The button on the wire is 

 not compelled to operate the valves and 

 dropping mechanism by forcing the forks 

 back six or eight inches, as is usually 

 the case. The only thing the button does 

 with the N e w-W ay is merely to "trip" 

 the fork, or carry it about three-quarters 

 of an inch. 



One of the greatest defects common 

 with other planters has been overcome 

 by making our seed plates extremely 

 large. They contain twenty cells each, al- 

 most twice as many as the ordinary 

 planter plates contain. 



The extremely large seed plates and 

 the many other improved features of its 

 dropping mechanism, if combined with 

 only one style of drop, would give- the 

 embodying both the flat and the edge drop in conjunction with 

 is positively unequalled for accuracy of drop under every pos-

No. 7 Twentieth Century Corn &, Cotton Planter 



WITH PRESS WHEEZi ATTACHMENT 



One of the features which makes the Twentieth Century Planter No. 7 so popular is the 

 amous Double Pitman drive. Two strong driving arms, both inside the frame, drive the 

 jevel gear under the seed box, which meshes into and drives the bevel gear at the bottom 

 of the seed box, revolving the seed plates. 



This drive is very simple, substantial and does the work right. 



The frame is constructed from high carbon channel steel and is prop- 

 erly braced. The handles are adjustable to suit the operator. 



Adjustable bail hitch is provided so that 

 he drive wheel will always have proper trac- 

 :tion. 



The Twentieth Century will plant corn, cot- 

 on, kafflr corn, peas, beans and sorghum. 



The corn plates used are the celebrated 

 Rock Island combined edge and flat drop. 



This planter is not built for fertilizer at- 

 tachment.

 The Seed Box tilts forward to change the plates. You don't have to empty the box. 

 This planter is strong and substantial, easy to handle, convenient in every way, reliable 

 and accurate. 



The steel wheel is strong, with broad concave tire. 



To provide ample power when fer- 

 tilizer attachment is used, we fur-

 attachment which can be quickly at- 

 tached to the wheels if needed.

 and out of gear, handles are adjust- 

 able and the hitch can be adjusted

The fertilizer attachment is driven 

 by the same chain that drives the 

 dropping mechanism. Easy to attach

 the runner boot which permits the seed 

 to be slightly covered and kept from 

 Jirect contact with the fertilizer.
