New Way 

 Corn Planter 



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

 these 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 throws practically 

 no strain whatever 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-

 STRONGER PIiANTS 



It isn't necessary today to convince any intelli- 

 gent farmer who grows tobacco, cabbage, tomatoes, 

 strawberries, swee^ potatoes, nursery stock — ^any 

 kind of plants that require transplanting — that it 

 pays to use a good transplanter. It is now gen- 

 erally known that plants transplanted when the 

 ground is dry have a more rapid growth and are 

 stronger and healthier than those transplanted 

 when there is a season in the ground. 



With a Massey-Harris Transplanter you can set 

 your plants when they are just the right size. You 

 know the danger of transplanting when plants get 

 too large on account of waiting for a season. You 

 can't afford to run that risk. 



You avoid tramping and packing the ground 

 around the newly set plant. 



You avoid putting the water on top of the ground, 

 which causes the ground to bake and crack and 

 you don't have to hoe around the plants, as you 

 have to when you water them by hand. 



You can pack the soil around the roots, so that 

 the plant gets a good start in life. 



CONVENIENT PRESSURE IiEVER 

 The pressure lever, within convenient reach of 

 either of the plant setters, controls the pressure 

 of the press wheels in pressing the earth about the 

 roots of the plant. 



PRESS "WHEEXiS 

 Press wheels which are adapted to moist soils. 

 Coil springs allow the wheels to follow any un- 

 evenness of ground and make the work uniform. 

 The angle of the wheels can be changed to suit 

 soil conditions. 



ABJUSTABI^E WATER SUPPI^T 



The water supply is easily and quickly adjusted by a guide through which the trip 

 rod passes. Raising the guide increases the flow of water, lowering it lessens the 

 flow. , ^ . , , 



Deep, medium or shallow runners can be furnished. The runner is forced into the 

 eround by a powerful spring attached to the raising lever, and can be set at depth 

 desired. RIGID FOI.E A GOOD FEATURE 



The rigid pole does away with danger of breaking any parts in turning at the end 

 of the rows. With a flexible tongue, you must unlatch it before you dare to turn 

 around. Furthermore, with a flexible pole, it is hard to get the machine lined up at 

 the end of the row before you start to plant another row. With the Massey-Harris rigid 

 pole you turn around just as you do -^ith a cultivator.
