Automatic Feed Control 
To insure efficient operation of the picker 
arms the feed chamber is kept about half full, 
this level being maintained by automatic control 
of the flow of the seed from the hopper. 
The hopper has a capacity of about three 
bushels. It is located directly above the seed 
chamber, so that seed travels from hopper to 
seed chamber by the shortest route. A feed 
wheel in the bottom of hopper, with large corru¬ 
gations, insures an uninterrupted supply. 
The top of the feed chamber is open—the 
operator may be always sure that everything la 
working properly. 
The furrow opener for the seed is designed 
to do its work with as little soil resistance as 
possible, yet hold the furrow open until seed Is 
deposited. It can be instantly adjusted for depth.
