Planet Jr. Four-Row Sugar Beet and Bean Horse Hoe 

 and Cultivator 



Price, including thirteen 1% x 8=inch cultivator steels and five irrigation 

 shovels and standards, $90.00. Packed weight. 684 lbs. Less cultivator 

 teeth, $83.00. Less cultivator teeth and irrigation shovels 

 (as in cut), $80.00. Packed weight, 600 lbs. 



THIS MAGNIFICENT TOOL hoes four rows at once. 18, 20 or 22 inches apart, or 

 three rows 24. 26, 28 or 30 inches apart, or two rows 36 inches to 42 inches. Two 

 levers, assisted by a powerful spring, control the depth to a nicety or easily lift the 

 tool bars clear. For 1915 we supply a two-wheel seat rig in place of one wheel, for 

 three=row cultivation. Additional price. $12.50. The patent hoes have a down cut 

 next the row and shield the plant; the curved shape allows the closest hoeing at the 

 surface, while rounding away from the roots. The standard is set over away from the 

 beet tops and the front of the hoe is a leaf guard. Recent visits among the large 

 beet growers of Colorado have resulted in many important improvements in this tool, 

 as enumerated below. The steering bar and attachments for the pivot wheels now 



work at a better angle and keep the tool 

 under better control. The tongue is bal= 

 anced by a heavy spring which removes 

 weight from horses' necks. AN EASY 

 GANG LIFT is a grand improvement. 

 Increased penetration is secured, with 

 better control of depth in hard ground. 

 New style clamps, firm and accurate. 

 Countersinks, to mark position of stand- 

 ards and set screws. Umbrella socket. 

 Improved wheel scrapers. The wheels 

 are changeable in width for all rows from 

 18 inches up. Six-inch hoe steels are 

 sometimes better for hard land than regu- 

 lar beet hoes. Price, set of four pairs 

 with standards. $9.50. 



Prof. Alvix Kevser, of the State Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Col., writes March 20, 

 1913: "We know the merits of your machines and have used some of them; in fact, are using 

 some of them at the present time." ' 



H. H. Castwood, Oxnard. Cal., writes: "I consider your Xo. 3 Beet Cultivator by far the best 

 that I have ever seen or used. Have used nearly all kinds on market to-day. We use them for 

 cultivating beets, beans and peanuts. I consider the knives and sweeps as near to perfection as 

 they could be made. Cannot recommend Planet Jr. beet cultivator too highly to any one wanting 

 a good, well-made, high-class beet cultivator."
