THE WATT PLOW.
Having seen in the Wing and Dispatch an adj.
Vertisement with the following heading:
"Starkc's Dixie Plow took the frs, premium in
the blowing match at the Border Agricultural VAR
of Virginia and North Carolina at Dauyillc over
all the best plows IN use, under the most favorable
circumstauccs-being worked by negro man who
had never before seen pl0w, whilst other plows
were run by an expert pl0wman. wh0 hal travelled
more than one hundred miles that these plows might
have the advantage Of his SKILL
And Its most obvious reference being to our
Plows we would call the attention OF farmers 10
the following letters ,co no, 80.
Messrs. Watt e. Knight:
Gentlemen,-Iou ask in q letter dated Noycm-
Der 2lst the result OF trial between your :" Wait
Plown and Mr.. Starke's "Dixic plow." evil
now endeavor to give IL: We first worked both
plOws In loamy, rich land, with cover Of weeds
this piece of land the Watt p!ow covered IN every
thing much better than the "EiIie,n and pulyer-
lied the land. The Dixie did not. Neither pillow
choked.
We then tried both in stiff, rich clay soil. With
a very heavy cover OF wire grass knte high. and
broom sedge waist high, rtermixed with running
pillow turned in all vegetation completely, withou.
choking and still doing the work In very superior
manner. On this land re do not think there could
be any comparison between the Work done by your
pillow and the Dixie"
uur plowmen vastly prefer the watt Plow."
We shall keep yours and return his.
Very respectfully, yours,
