A SHORT DESCRIPTION.
The Chopper works across the
rows, the chOpping and blowing is
done with a System Of sweeps, adj
iustably connected to stock beam.
In setting up these sweeps l will
say you can close them altogether
that, OF course, would cut it all
out but this connection being an
adjustable one you then move out
on the beam, as desired, so as TO
leave SPACE between the sweeps
that will allow 1 or 2 stalks to pass
through. The beam and stocks are
connected with the Front with
rods; they are also connected be-
meath the frame with cross rod;
the beam and stocks are movable
in the frame; il the handles are
elevated and let go, the beam drops
back on the frame, so in case of
skips or bad stand, by elevting the
handles you miss that part alto
gether and strike the next ridge
at any depth desired. The chop
per can be adjusted to leave / or
. stalks; and to run deep or shall
low. The chopper cuts uniform any
distance, by using large or small
sweeps. Say you want 8-inches,
use S-inch sweeps. If wanted extra
wide, take out one or more stocks
and use extra wide sweeps. This
patent calls for any number. /
think B or about right. The rear
wheels run in the wake of the out
side sweeps. The front wheels GU.
under, turning is easy. The chop
per works in any ordinary land,
with one or two horses. The old
way of barring off cOtt0nsis a waste
OF time and money. Th1e1hopper
does all the blowing as it - a
cross, leaves dirt to the cotton
gives the land thorough cultiv4ll
ton. BY taking out the middle
stock and straddling you can give
your cotton second blowing, two
rows at q round. This done, your
cotton Is under control. This rap
id cultivation in the early spring
10 a good remedy for the boil
weevil, try it. Now let me say
right here: In planting If you will
put plenty seed in to insure a stand
It will not pay you to follow this
chopper with the hoe, for the a.
mount left is with you, have pre-
pared book of instructions for

10 independent as far as labor is
concerned. He gets in the cotton
at the right time, both chopping
and blowing as he goes at the rate
Of 10 acres a day. No such thing
"a being in the grass. Its what you
save that counts. Ask for testi-
monial sheet and read what the
farmers say, and send 91.OO today

ti0ns for making and be ready.
