well indeed Of the Champion Corn Planter,
bought OF you last spring. I think mat any
one who has a 30-acre field who buys this i'm
plement, and plants corn with your fertilizer
recommended, will have the Corn Planter
without cost, that is, it will pay for itself, as
compared with any other way of putting in
corn fertilizer known TO the

f. L. Moore-pear Sir: ! am sure that bv
planti ng my corn with the Champion Drill,
increase the yield two barrels per acre, or
eighty barrels from forty acres. After the
land is narrowed, one hand and horse with
the Drill will plant as much corn as FIVE
hands and three horses the old way, when
fertilizer is used Another valuable feature
In the Drill is the distributing of the fertili-
ger in the row in place OF the hill, prevent
ing the possibility of injuring the corn, which
happened to some Of our farmers curing last
season, who planted the old way.

Mr.. F. L. Moore-Dear Sir: Yours of the
18th instant in reference 20 the Champion
Corn Planter purchased of you last spring is
received, and in reply would say that il
dropped both corn and fertilizer very accur-
ately the corn came up better than where
covered by the old style of coverer, and
stood the drouth better. | used it on some
very rough billy ground, and il worked we'll
wherever used. II would soon pay for itself
on a small farm. consider it very i'm
portant implement for every farmer; in fact
indispensable.

Mr.. T. l.. Moore-Dear Sir I find The Corn
Planter bought of you an Improvement over
the old. plan Of covering with the Corn Gov
erer. 1t puts the seed 10 an equal depth, and
packing the earth on II causes it 10 come up
more regular, quicker, and standing straight
er in the row; is more easily cultivated the
first time, besides the great amount of labor
saved. did not use the guano attachment

Laytonsville, Nd, January 18th, 1880.
Mr.. +. l.. Moore-Dear Sir In reply to
youFs Of the 23d, would say that The Corn
Drill bought last spring proved satisfactory
TO me- lput the rows four feet apart and the
stalk from twelve to sixteen inches apart in
the row, and got from eleven TO twelve bar
rels per acre hut some parties with the same
Drill only got from six 10 seven barrels per
acre. think that was owing to the manner
in which 1t was planted; they had the rows
three-and-a-half feet apart and the stalks from
eight TO ten inches in the row.
Yours very respectfully,
WILLIAM b. MOBLEY.
