Farquhar Star Two-Row Corn Planter 
SIMPLE ★ ACCURATE ★ DEPENDABLE 
The Farquhar Star is a simple and very positive drop 
Corn Planter that produces a most uniform stand of corn, 
whether drilled or planted in hills. It has no intricate parts 
to wear out and no fine adjustments to make, hence it is 
easily operated and has long life. 
The frame is strong and made of “I” beam steel and 
supported by a heavy, round axle. Plates and sprockets of 
various sizes are furnished to drop a single kernel every 
!3i 1 5» J 7> and 19 inches. The double-hole plates and 
sprocket No. 7 drop two kernels every 26 inches. The dis¬ 
tance between the hills may be increased in proportion to 
the size of the sprocket used. Special plates can be fur¬ 
nished to sow other seeds. The Farquhar Star drills the 
seed in the row but it may be adjusted to drop in hills 
without regard to checking or cross cultivation. 
The width of planting is adjustable and rows may be 
spaced 39 inches, 42 inches, or 45 inches 
apart. When set, the runners or openers 
are rigid and free from all swinging 
motions. Another feature which makes 
the Farquhar Star superior is the separate 
depth adjustment of each opener. Two- 
row single lever planters operating on

Corn Drill 
Acme Corn Planter with 
Fertilizer Attachment 
Price, with Fertil¬ 
izer Attachment, 
$26 
The Avery New Union Corn Drill plants accurately because the 
double pitman drive insures positive action all the time. Also because 
the seed-plates are extra large, giving all the holes plenty of time to fill. 
It plants to the right depth because the depth of planting in any 
kind of soil can be regulated by the adjustable opening shoe in con¬ 
nection with the adjustable clevis. 
The frame is all steel which eliminates the use of castings. There 
are no sprockets to clog up, no chains to break. 
The Fertilizer Attachment is gear-driven direct from the main 
pitman, again eliminating sprockets and chains. 
The hoppers are extra large and hinged so they can be thrown 
back, exposing all the gears, or can be lifted off the frame without 
using a itool. Planter is regularly furnished with a set of four plates. 
Pea and Bean Plates 
can be furnished at 
an extra charge of 
$1.

ping, stronger plants and increases the yield 5 to 15 bushels per acre. 
There are four grades of corn on every ear. This Grader sorts them out in one simple 
operation. It has a guard on the lower screen to prevent the spilling of the corn while grad¬ 
ing. Capacity 4 to 6 bushels per hour. Size 11 x 19 inches. Price, $1. Postage 15 cts. extra.
