S O far as planting is concerned, there is only one way to get 
the extra bushels of corn—the extra bushels that cut the cost 
of production per bushel and bring greater profits. 
That way is to use an accurate planter—a planter that will drop 
in each hill in every section of the field exactly the number of 
kernels required to match the soil’s producing ability- 
three kernels to the hill where the soil will support three stalks; 
two kernels to the hill where the soil will support two stalks; 
four kernels to the hill where the soil will support four stalks. 
That’s the accuracy you get when you use the 
DEERE 
999 CORN PLANTER 
Get Acquainted With This Accurate Planter 
The John Deare 999 is a profit-maker from the first day it enters the field. 
Investigate its merits before your planting season begins this year. Your 
neighbors who have operated a 999 can tell you about its accuracy. Examine 
it at your John Deere dealer’s store. If you can find the opportunity test 
its drop, noting how precisely it plants the desired number of kernels and 
how quickly and easily you can control the number through the variable drop device. 
And Note Theae Other Features— The 999 can be used for either hilling 
or drilling. Change from one method to the other is made instantly by 
means of a foot lever. Because of the variable drop device nine different drilling dis¬ 
tances can be secured without changing plate. 
Plants Great Variety of Seed— beans, peas, sorghum, milo maze, feterita, 
beet seed, shelled peanuts, etc.,—without changing cut-ofT 
Automatic Marker requires no attention after starting in the field. 
Fertilizer and Pea Attachments can be furnished—either one or both can 
be used when planting corn. 
The seed-dropping mechanism on this plant¬ 
er is the result of more than 50 years of 
specialized effort by the John Deere planter 
factory to devise the most accurate drop known. 
Its “Counting Out” Method gives you 
the same accuracy you would get if you 
painstakingly counted out the kernels of 
corn and dropped them by hand. 
The Variable Drop Device—a great fea¬ 
ture—enables you instantly to change the 
drop to meet the various conditions of soil 
in the same field. By merely shifting a 
foot lever, without stopping the team or 
leaving the seat, you can vary the drop to 
two, three or four kernels per hill—always 
exactly the number desired.
