cality this week interviewing imple-
ment dealers and farmers in the in
terest of the Kovar Quack Grass Kill
er. This is a machine which Mr..
Kovar invented himself and it has
only been on the market three years,
but from the description and the
numbers being sold, it must be
right. Mr.. Kovar carries one Of the
machines with him and demonstrates
it to the farmers right on his farm.
If the farmer wishes to buy one he
can do so and if he doesn't like it
doesn't do all that is claimed for it,
he can return it. If the machine is
any good it should certainly find a
ready market, as quack grass is get
ting quite a start on some farms
hereabouts. We understand that the
Stone Implement Co. has taken the
agency for Morris and vicinity for
this machine and in one day alone
they sold seven of the quack grass
killers.
