New Castle, Pa. 
I have been going to write you for some time in regard to the weeder. I have had splendid results 
with it this year. Now I will tell you how l used it and what the results were. 
First 1 used it on my wheat in the spring. I could scarcely see any wheat at all, it was so winter- 
killed. My hired man wanted to plow up the ground and sow oats. He said there would not be five 
bushels of wheat on the three acres and I thought so myself, but 1 said, “We will sow Timothy and 
clover on It,’’ and so we did and then put the weeder on it, and we put some stones on the weeder so as 
to make it stir up the ground good. Well, I had 25 bushels of wheat and a splendid catch of grass. 
Then I put it on my oats. Before I did so my man said to me, “ We won't have no oats this year,” 
and 1 about agreed with him. The Held looked us yellow as gold. We had it exceedingly dry here last 
spring, but I said to the man, “You hitch the horse into the weeder and go over the oats ground.” 
He said. “ O no 1 that will tear all the oats out.” I said, “ You go ahead and do as I say,” and so he 
did. AVell, I never saw oats come on like they did. I had in four acres and 1 harvested 182)4 bushels. 
If everyone would work their weeders in their oats and wheat it would pay them big. So many 
people in this part are very slow in starting their weeders that they do not get half the good out of 
them that they might. They have found out this year from my experience how to work it, and next 
year they are going to start right in time and keep the weeder going. 
You can count on a big weeder trade from this section next year. Y'ours, — J. R. Wright.
