SUGAR BEET TOOLS 



Four Planet Jr. No. 3 Four=Row Sugar=Beet and Bean Cultivators working 

 sixteen rows of beets at one passage. California 



THE PIVOT WHEELS act in 



stantaneously, steering the tool with 

 great ease. The 24-inch wheels we are 

 sending out with these machines have 

 twelve spokes instead of ten as hereto- 

 fore. 



THE TOOL BAR consists of three 

 stiff steel bars, the middle one, to which 

 the sweeps are attached, is stationary. 

 The right-hand hoes are attached to the 

 top, and the left hoes to the bottom bar. 

 These bars are moved simultaneously 

 in opposite directions by a convenient 

 lever, - instantly changing the distance 

 between all the pairs of hoes at once 

 as needed. The hoes and sweep are set 

 for width by figures on the frame. 



SPECIAL DISCS to use in place of ^. ^ ^. , o . ^ . 



hoes, $3.25 per pair. Very much liked Disc Cultivation with No. 3 Beet Cultivator 

 for early work and to prepare ground for seed- 

 ing, using four or five on each side of center. 



CRUST BREAKERS for use just as the seed 

 is coming through. A pair straddles each row, 

 and the outer edges bearing down the crust, cause 

 it to crack upwards directly over the line of grow- 

 ing seed. Price, per set of four pairs, $4.00. 



Also a set of five special irrigation steels, 

 with special standards, which work behind the 

 hoes, hoeing and ditching thus being done at one 

 passage. Per set, $9.00. 



The set of thirteen 1/4 x 8-inch steels with 

 standards are valuable for late cultivation of beets or similar crops. Price, $8.50.

Fritz Knorr, in charge of the U. S. Government Experiment Farm at Scott's Bluflf, 

 writes from Mitchell, Neb.: "The machine (No. 3 Beet Cultivator) is doing good work. The 

 special orchard attachments that we ordered for the machine are splend'd. We shall take pleasure 

 in recommending this machine at our farmers' meeting, and also display the cultivator at our 

 farmers' picnic on this farm next week."
