THE PLANET JR. ORCHARD AND FALLOW LAND 

 CULTIVATORS 



These tools are very popular for cultivation of orchards, vineyards, hopyards, etc., 

 and for fallow land work. They are largely used in California for this class of 

 work. For deep stirring they require a four-horse team. They are used for working 

 and hilling crops when not over two feet high, such as beans, potatoes, etc.. doing two 

 or three rows at one passage, also for making irrigation furrows. They cultivate much 

 more thoroughly than the disc harrow, working deeper wnth less draft, and kill weeds 

 better. The teeth are reversible and self-sharpening, Most of our special teeth fit 

 them. Sweeps of all widths are used on them for level cultivation, or a combination 

 of cultivator teeth and sweeps. 



They may be used with furrowing teeth for marking out rows from two to five 

 feet apart, and also for hilling, and with two or three pairs of plows for covering 

 two or three rows at once. 



They do work superior to the disc harrow, except in trashy ground, often doing 

 twice as much at one passage with the same draft. We supply superior discs spe- 

 cially adjusted for the most work with lightest draft, as an extra, making an excellent 

 combined cultivator and disc harrow. 



Ulfert Poppex. Estelline. S. Dak., writes September 23, 1913: "I bought one of your Uni- 

 versal Cultivator? in 1902. It has been used on my farm each year, and I think it the most 

 valuable tool I ever owned. I use it to cultivate the land before seeding, and get a better seed bed 

 and better yield of grain by so using it than I have been able to get with any other method. I do 

 not use a disc harrow. It is equally as good for preparing the land for planting corn and better than 

 a disc harrow for this purpose. They ought to be used on every farm in this country, and I am 

 sure that any progressive farmer would get most satisfactory results." 



T. C. GooDXES. Otis Orchards, Wash., writes April 6, 1912: "I used a Planet Jr. No. 41 on 

 the light volcanic ash soil of the Yakima Valley last season and found it an excellent all-around 

 tool. With the addition of the discs and patent weeders it is now, in my opinion, the best culti- 

 vator on the market." 



C. A. WiLKixsox. Eltham, Taranaki, New Zealand, writes December 19, 1912: "Your imple- 

 ments give every satisfaction to users, and I have a continuously satisfactory sale for same." 



J. C. McKexzie, Secretary Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture, Madison, Wis., writes Feb- 

 ruary 25, 1913: "I can cheerfully recommend your goods as being first class in every particular.'
