Banner Root Cutter No. 31 
Thompson Grass Seeder 
Made entirely of iron and steel. A positive feed— it must 
cut. The roots cannot get away from the knives. It has 19 
gouge-shaped steel knives, fastened from the inside with two 
bolts to a cast iron cone-shaped drum. They project through 
the round openings in the drum about % of an inch, and every 
time the drum turns around once, the knives hit and cut the 
roots 19 times. The drum is driven by gear wheels with the 
power in favor of the operator, so it makes an easy running 
Root Cutter, with good capacity. The hopper is 24 inches in 
diameter at the top, 11 inches at the bottojn, and 16 inches deep.

Worcester Walking Weeder 
The Pulverizing Harrows are especially adapted to orchard 
work and cannot tear up the roots. They combine the work of 
Disk and Spike Harrows, smoothing and pulverizing ; the adjust¬ 
ment of the coulters by lever varying the depth of the work. 
In operation, this harrow instead of bringing to the surface 
the weeds and trash turned under by the plow, cuts them up 
and leaves them beneath the surface to rot and add to the fer¬ 
tility of the soil. The fine condition in which this harrow leaves 
the soil increases its power to hold moisture, giving the growing 
crops a much better chance to withstand drouth. Extra coul¬ 
ters fit all similar harrows.
