Use one of these and you will resist

two-horse 2-foot Weeder will cultivate

Weeders once and you will use it al
ways. You can use it for almost every
kind of work on the farm. A farmer
on the Nashville pike used one last
year in his corn instead of pillow, and
he raised some of the best corn in the
country he also used one to prepare
his land for navy beans and had the
ground in moist condition July 4th.
Mr.. Brown also used it in cultivating
his sweet potato crop. It is the only
thing that will keep the ground in
good condition and retain enough
moisture to raise good crop through
