The Adjustable Knife
Wecder
Patented by H. D. Clayton,
January IT, 1908

The Adjus table Knife Weeder
has been in use by the farmers of
Graham county during the past
fifteen years.
1t is made to take one row, or
two rows, or three rows, the
first time over, on all crops plant
ed with the lister.
1t is all stee. and iron, except
the connecting plank.
1t is the lightest weeder made,
and also the strongest, built to
last life time.
1t pulls lighter than any other
kind of a weeder.
The knives can be adjusted to
any desired position.
The knives can be reversed,
doubling their usefulness.
The connecting plank rests on
rollers, at both ends, reducing
the side friction
The weight of the driver can
be shifted to suit conditions.
The steel runners are easily
replaced. if they should ever wear
out.
The "" hitch controls the
machine perfectly
It's open construction gives it
light weight.
Its complete system of bracing
makes it extra strong.
The knives can be kept sharp
cheaper than you can buy oil and
grease for wheels and dies.
1t has no boxing nor spindles
to wear out.
1t does away with costly repair
bills.
1t will get the weeds at any
stage of their grouth.
| 1t does perfect work in heavy
weeds that no other weeder can
| handle.
1t leaves the ground in the best
of condition for any succeeding
cultivation.
It does not throw the soil away
from the corn.
It does not pitch the dirt up to
the center of the ridge, and make
your horses lame to walk on it
the next time over.
1t does not roll the dirt over
and over, to lose it's moisture in a
dry time.
1t leaves the row in better
shape, and the ridge in better
shape. than any other machine
made.
It is not only a weeder, but a
cultivator as we'll Even if you
have no weeds, it will do better
work the first time over" than
any other machine.
It is the right thing in the
right place for the first time
over" in all listed crops.
It was invented by a Graham
county farmer fifteen years ago.
and now small factory, equipp-
ed with special machinery, is
making them at Hill City.
