The Adjustable Knife
Weeder
Patented by III. d. Clayton,
January ~, 1908

The Adjus table Knife Weeder
has been in use by the farmers of
Graham county during the past
fifteen years.
It is made to take one row, or
two rows, or three rows, the
first time over, on all crops plant
ed with the lister.
It is all steei and iron, except
the connecting plank.
It is the lightest weeder made.
and also. the strongest, built to
last life time.
It 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 s'v" 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.
It does away with costly repair
bills.
It will get the weeds at any
stage of their grouth.
It does perfect work in heavy
weeds that no other weeder can
handle.
) It 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 1t
! the next time over
It does not roll the dirt over
and over, to lose its 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
cuItivator as well. EvenLif you
have no weeds, it will do better
work the first time over" Ethan
any other machine
It is the right thing in the
! right place for 1.-The first time

tact with the latter, either with a view of concentrating their efforts upon other objects than individual combat or with the idea that the encounter might not be equal. The explanation now given by 9 competent authority is that the Ger mans lost their best aviators at the very outset of the war This fact was disclosed by the note book of a German aviator killed near Verdun February 4, this year. As early as September 12, 1914 the Germans had lost Furstenair, Neu- mann, Dallurg, Beaulieu, Gresch, Jah- now, Koch, Blutgen, Heyden and Baudis- sin This is further confirmed by a Ger man aviator. made prisoner, who said that they had found the greatest diffi- culty in replacing these men killed or captured.
 This seems to explain the French claim that with less efficient material French aviators accomplished more tangible re- suits, such as the destruction of artillery the blowing up of ammunition depots, de- struction of zeppelins. and Zeppelin sheds. and damage to the enemy's field works. The French army is said to have ample proofs to this effect in orders of the day issued from the German gen eral headquarters, impressing upon the officers and men carefully studied ways of avoiding dangerous arms of the French flying corps.
