Mr. Joseph Rothschild, of Shelbyvillc, Kentucky, exhibited an Automatic 
Check-Row Planter of an entirely novel and highly ingenious description, which,

drawings, which are from the patent specifications, show a vertical section and 
plan; the former (Fig. 44) taken through the line x, x (Fig. 45).
