and other seeds. One person, with a pair of these droppers, 
can drop 15 acres a day. It will drop it riglit in the cross. It 
can be set to average any number of grains desired to a hill. 
It can be regulated to scatter tlie corn more or less in the 
hill, or drop it all in a close bunch, if desired. In windy 
weather this dropper is just the thing needed, as the corn 
can not be blown about while dropping. 
Three liands, with a pair of tliese droppers, and a double 
corn marker and drag, can mark out, drop and cover 15 
acres a day; and it will be done much better tlian it can with 
any of the combined double rowed corn planters that have 
ever been invented. The corn will be straight both ways.
