AYR SEED 
Hand Seed Sowers 
Used for broadcasting grass and other seeds 
on farms all over the world. Windy days or 
muddy ground do not delay seeding when the 
farmer owns a Thompson Grass Seeder. 
The seed hopper is carried so low that the 
broadcasting is right close to the ground. 
The positive feed makes this the safe and 
sure way to get enough seed sown evenly and 
accurately without wasting any—seed costs 
money.

FOR SEED AND FERTILIZER 
For seeding and spreading fertilizers and all 
dry materials on lawns, parkways, golf tees, 
greens, flower and truck gardens. 
It broadcasts accurately and uniformly the 
desired quantity on small areas where other¬ 
wise slow and uneven laborious hand work is 
required. The Thompson force feed broadcast¬ 
ing principle has been so adapted to the 30-inch 
hopper in this machine that it can be used 
equally as well for seeding and spreading. 
It broadcasts uniformly (without bunching) 
highly concentrated chemical fertilizers and 
plant foods, lime, ground bone, pulverized 
}heep manure and wood ashes. 
Spreads as fast as a man will walk. Its even 
distribution secures greatest efficiency from the 
material broadcast and by saving time, seed 
and fertilizer it quickly pays for itself.

“Make Your Own Fertilizer” 
ADCO converts straw, corn stalks, dry leaves 
and garden refuse, such as leaves, stalks, cut¬ 
tings, potato, bean and pea vines, etc., into 
Artificial Manure. ADCO is a powder which, 
when mixed with almost any non-woody vege¬ 
table waste and kept moist, gradually converts 
the mass into real manure fully equal to the 
farmyard product in fertilizing power, but free 
from foul odor, flies, weed-seeds, etc. The pro¬ 
cess is perfectly simple and not at all laborious. 
Gardners should not wait for their refuse to 
accumulate. Add one pound of ADCO (a pound 
baking-powder can is a convenient measure) to 
every four cubic feet of debris, wet and well- 
compacted, and keep it moist. Add more refuse 
as it comes along, treating it the same way, 
and by the end of the summer it makes a rich, 
inoffensive manure heap. 
Price: 7V S lb. carton, $1.25; 25 lb. bag, 
$3.00; 100 lb. bag, $10.00; 150 lb. bag, $12.50,
