Culti-Pack 
Growing Wheat 
The Culti-Packer not only prepares the finest possible seed bed 
for wheat, but it also keeps the growing crop in tip-top condition. 
It goe.s over tlte field breaking any surface 
crusts, mellowing the soil and putting it in 
good tilth. There is not the slightest danger 
of injuring the growing plants. 
Culti-Packing is especially A^aluable on winter 
wheat early in the spring when frost has heaved 
the plants and cracked the .soil, leaving millions 
of roots exposed to dry up or freeze. The 
Culti-Packer will set the heaved plants into 
place, firm the soil around the roots, and re¬ 
store the whole field to good growing condition. 
The Nebra.ska Experiment Station found that 
this treatment gave an average increase of 5.1 
bushels per acre over a period of five years. 
The Culti-Packer can be used on all growing 
plants — oats, l)eets, .sugar cane, corn, etc. 
Wheels (juick detachable for straddling rows.
