POTATO PLANTERS 
Assisted Feed • Automatic Feed 
The Iron Age Assisted-Feed (two-man) Planter is machine-fed, with hand 
corrections made by boy or man, and approaches most nearly ioo per cent plant¬ 
ing. Recent improvements in adapting the elevator wheels to all sizes of seed have 
greatly reduced the work of the man on the rear seat. 
The Iron Age Automatic-Feed Planter has adjustable picks for small, medium, or 
large seed. Has a very high degree of accuracy in planting—very few misses or 
doubles, and no bruising of seed. Seed hopper interchangeable with Assisted- 
Feed Planter. Picker wheel in plain view of driver at all times. 
Both types of Planters are built with or without fertilizer attachment. This 
attachment sows high or low-analysis fertilizer in quantities desired. Fertilizer uniformly 
distributed on both sides of seed absolutely free from danger of fertilizer coming in con¬ 
tact with seed. The spacing of the seed in the row can be adjusted for 7, 8>£, 10, nK> 
iy/ 2 , and 15 inches apart. Special sprockets can be furnished for other spacings. 
The opening plows lift and turn the soil, producing loose furrows. Seed-planting shoe 
splits the ridge between the furrows, making a groove for the seed and at the same time 
the wings move the soil to each side, covering the fertilizer in the furrows about 2 inches 
from the seed. Iron Age Planters have convertible disc covering gangs for ridge covering 
or shallow covering.

Farquhar—Iron Age Elevator Potato Digger 
A two-horse Digger for large or 
small growers 
A light-draft, substantially built Digger that will dig 4 acres a day under 
average conditions. The 20-inch throat gives ample room for vines, etc., with¬ 
out choking. 
Elongated or elliptical sprockets carry the elevator web, giving it a rising and 
falling movement, thus producing the agitation which separates the vines and 
causes most of the soil to fall through the web as soon as it passes the 
heel of the shovel. The endless elevator chain or web is built of inter¬ 
locking crossrods. 
Rigid, steel frame holds shovel at right depth to get all the potatoes, 
whether deep or shallow, and in stony, hard, clayey, or mellow soil. 
Rigid tongue gives full control in holding Digger over row on level 
ground or steep hillside. 27-inch wheels, with 3-inch rims, with 
cleats 3^4 inches deep, furnish ample traction. Two-wheel front 
truck firmly carries the front end. Price, $112.50. Doubletree 
and Neck-yoke, extra, if wanted, $3.75.
