“It is estimated that one dollar per acre with 
such pulverizers as the Roller, Plank-drag and 
common Harrow, will add five to ten bushels per 
acre to the wheat crop, and to other crops in the 
same proportion. This same work may he per¬ 
formed more cheaply and easily by using the 
1 ACME’ Pulverizing Harrow, Clod Crusher & 
Leveler. With it, the three operations of crushing 
lumps, leveling off the ground, and thoroughly pul¬ 
verizing the soil, are performed at the same time."
