TWO HORSE CULTIVATORS

Thoroughly working two rows of corn, four feet apart, with No. 72 Planet 

 Jr. Pivot Wheel Cultivator. 



TWO-HORSE IMPLEMENTS 



Over 100,000,000 acres of field corn are grown annually in the United States, and 

 the crop averages about 3,000,000,000 bushels and is valued at $1,500,000,000. At the 

 present time corn is unprecedentedly high in price, raising the total annual crop to about 

 52,000,000,000. Probably 75 per cent, of this vast crop is cultivated with two-horse 

 implements, and doubtless over 50 per_ cent, is planted at an average distance apart 

 of 3>2 feet. It is also largely planted with tools dropping two rows at once and that 

 carry markers, which insure each two rows being fairly equi-distant. Xearly four 

 million acres are devoted to the growing of potatoes. The Planet Jr. Xo. 72 

 Two-Row Cultivator is the best tool ever invented for the thorough and economical 

 cultivation of corn, potatoes and other crops in rows from 28 inches to 44 inches 

 apart. It will easily save its whole cost in one season, when used on fifty acres. 



Xo. 76 Planet Jr. One-Row Cultivator is equally admirable for one=row culti- 

 vation up to 4 feet apart, the gangs being adjustable by a convenient lever to or from 

 the row instantly, without stopping the team. 



ROLLER BEARINGS. Recognizing 

 the great value of roller bearings for our 

 X^'os. 72 and 76 Two-Horse Cultivators, 

 we supply them for 1915. The whole cost 

 ($5.00) is soon repaid, as the wear is very 

 light and the wheels run true for years. 

 One set of roller bearings will outwear 

 three plain bearings, and therefore are 

 economical, besides making a steady, easy- 

 running tool. Greatly improved for 1915. 



O. R. Frauenheim, Random Lake, Wis., writes March 18, 1914: "I have several cultivators and 

 find that the Planet Jr. implements possess more merit than any other machines. 



"I have had a No. 72 Cultivator in use four years and cannot see how I could do without it. 

 Just to tell you whar I did with the No. 72 — last year I went into a four-acre field (the field was 

 measured and was exactly four acres) at ten o'clock in the morning, and ten minutes after twelve 

 I had cultivated the field over once. While this may not seem to go very fast, I believe it was very 

 good, taking into consideration that it was a very warm day and it was a hillside field and rather 

 rough. I cultivated just as good or probably better than a single-row machine could do. 



"I only plant about twenty-five acres of corn annually, and the machine saves me its extra cost 

 every year, owing to scarcity of help."
