GRIFFITH @ TURNER CO. 



Gritco Broadcast Lime Distributor 



General Features 



HOPPEE — Cast-iron ends project- 

 ing over and protecting ends of side- 

 boards. Screws are put in across the 

 grain; not in the end with the grain. 



Truss rods on both sides, with a 

 brace rod and board in the center, 

 r.-.ake an exceptionally rigid construc- 

 tion. There can be no sag cr warp. 

 Axle and bearings cannot get out of 

 alignment, no matter how heavy the 

 load or rough the land. 



Two-piece cover secured with 

 heavy hing-es, nicely fitted to make 

 the top rainproof. Hopper is fitted 

 with two screens to sift out lumps 

 wMch might cause breakage or clog- 

 ging. 



Scatter-board is adjustable. When 

 clear down, fertilizer will drop in 

 rows six inches apart or can be raised 

 and will broadcast evenly over strip 

 nine feet wide. Sides of box are 

 steep, so contents will not stick or 

 clog. 



The cut-off slide moves easily in a groove in the cast-iron bottom plates. "When t e cut-off lever is moved to right, 

 II the feed holes are open for broadcasting. When t e lever is moved to left of center, three holes only are open for drilling. 



Box is full eight feet long; holds about ten bushels; will sow from 200 to 4,000 lbs. per acre, depending on condition 

 nd kind of fertilizer. 



AXLE — 1%-inch cold rolled steel; has renewable bearings which are self-aligning. This prevents undue wear and lightens 

 le draft. The distributors or feed wheels are fastened directly over the feed holes. Each distributor has five prongs. A steel 

 gitator rod runs through the feed wheels, keeping fertilizer well mixed and preventing clogging or binding above the feed. 



End castings are slotted, so that the clearance between distributors and feed plates can be adjusted. This and the large 

 ve-pronged distributors are exclusive features and assure an even distribution of any quantity of material, in any condition. 



Oats, barley and similar grains can be broadcasted, as proper adjustment of scatter-board will insure even seeding on 

 ■windy day. 



Wheels are all steel, with wide concave tires to prevent sliding on side hill. They operate the axle with the universally 

 vised ratchet drive. 



This Lime Sower Is cheap only in price. We use the very best material obtainable. The few parts and simplicity of con- 

 duction enable us to make a superior machine at a reasonableprice.

When renovating old turf or in new construc- 

 tion always harrow after seeding, 

 i Harrowing loosens the top soil; opens up the

 ealthier, sturdier, closer growing stand of long 

 ii rearing sod. Livens up the soil, strenghtens the 

 lijlant roots so that divots will fill up quickly; 



rorn and burned spots will come back in record 

 itc|ime.

THOMPSON'S GOLF SPECIAL SEEDER 



Golf greens, fairways and lawns must be seeded evenly to produce the desired 

 niform turf. 



Thompson Golf Special Seeders are used on America's leading golf courses and 



economical. Wind or mud 

 do not interfere with their 

 accurate work because they 

 sow close to the ground and 

 cannot clog. 



The light weight, perfect 

 b" lance and few working 

 parts appeal to the man who 

 uses the seeder and permit 

 him to do more and better 

 work. Sowing by hand is 

 slovenly and wasteful. The 

 safe, sure and economical 

 method is with the Thomp- 

 son Golf Special Seeder. 



For a large amount of 

 ground to cover we suggest 

 two or three of these Seed- 

 ers, providing the job of 

 seeding needs to be done 

 quickly just when the 

 ground is in the right con- 

 dition to receive the seed.
