JOHN DEERE No. 999L 


JOHN DEERE No. 227 ONE-HORSE DRILL 
Noted for its simplicity of construction, durability, ease 
of handling and accuracy. Plates can be furnished for plant- 
ing any kind of corn, beans, peas, sorghum and many other 
seeds. Disk or hoe marker can be furnished if desired. 
SAFETY FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT 
The No. 227 Drill can be equipped with the John Deere 
improved safety fertilizer attachment that distributes the 
fertilizer in a narrow strip on each side of the row, at the 
same time the corn is planted. Applied in this way, the 
fertilizer becomes readily available as plant food, yet none 
of it comes in contact with the seed, which is protected by a 
layer of soil.

CORN PLANTER 

A CORN PLANTER DOES ITS WORK 
UNDERGROUND 
There is no way of determining to what extent an inaccur- 
ate planter is robbing its owner until the crop is up, and 
then it is usually to late for him to recover his losses. The 
Famous John Deere Natural-Drop Seed Plates and Sloping 
Hopper Bottom are largely responsible for the unfailing 
accuracy of John Deere Corn Planters. 
This Planter will narrow into 2 ft. 4 in. rows

bs Full rotary drop. Pressed steel hopper. Ad- 
justable cast disk or seed plates. Malleable 
ratchet lever. Brass spring cut-off. Double 
coil main spring. Extreme accuracy of drop 
due to novel exclusive and common sense design 
of seed plates, and brass spring cut-off or strip- 
per. Double coil spring automatically rotates 
disc and closes jaws. Used in one hand like a 
walking stick. Disk is set for correct number of 
kernels by loosening thumb nut, moving star 
till pockets are of right size, then tightening 
thumb nut again. Plunge planter in ground, 
rock forward to trip seed, and withdraw. 

The John Deere No. 919 Drill is the same in general con- 
struction as the No. 999 Check Rower Planter. As it is in- 
tended for drilling only, it is not equipped with check rower 
and valve mechanism. Simplicity of construction, accuracy 
and reliability in drop make this machine a superior two- 
row drill. 
It is just as desirable to have the seed properly spaced with 
unfailing accuracy when drilling as it is to drop three or any 
other number of kernels in the hill when check-rowing. The 
No. 919 Drill easily satisfies the most exacting requirements.
