Gentlemen,-IUu ask in r letter dated Soyrm.
Der 2lst the result OF a trial between your Wat
Flow " and Dir. StaTke's Dixie PlOw.n WewlI
now endeayor to give IL We first worked both
plows in loamy, rich land, with ,cr Of weeds
and fallen dried and green clover and timothy. In
this piece of land the Watt pow covered IN every
thing much better than the "DixIe,n and pulyrr-
lied the land. The Dixie did not. Neither pillow
choked.
We then tried both in a stiff rich clay SOIL with
very heavy cover OF wiTeg grass KNEE high. ald
broom sedge waist high, intermixed with running
brlars. In this Sell and condition OF growth your
pillow turned In al vegetation completely, without
choking, and still doing the work In very superior
manner. On this land We DO not think there could
be any comparison between the woik done by your
pOw and the "DiN!e.n
our ptowmen vastly prefer the WAT Flow"
We shall keep yours ana return his.
