KNIFE WEEDERS
New Model 21' Is Now Read,


Fwenty-one years ago, Mr.. Clayton
lived on farm and made his first
knife weeder. It had wooden run
ners, the knives were hard to adjust,
it was heavy and pulled hard, but it
did good work. Every year that he
stayed on the farm he made a new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr.. Clay
tonsworked up quite business MAX
ingthese machines and selling them
to his neighbors. After he left the
farB he still continued to make a
news model every year, until he has
now perfected his "New Model 21"
for thes coming season. This new
model is a mighty fine machine for
killing weeds and saving moisture in
anyglisted field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
proVements could be made upon it.
1.-The Weeder Factory, Hill City,
Kan.," is where this machine is now
made, and any farmer, within driv-
ing distance of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are so easily taken apart
that two of the double-row machines
are frequently hauled in a Ford car.
The one-row machine weighs 95
pounds, the two-row $50 pounds, and
the .three-row $50 pounds. The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50. These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foot side
knives. Longer knives can be fur
nished as extras, and also eveners, if
desired. Most farmers have all the
eYeners that are necessary for these
machines. All of the older models
will be discontinued after this sea-
son. Two-row machines of last years
model may still be had, while they
last, at $500 to $1,000 less than the
above prices.

is every indication that farming op-

this year than for several years past,
is asserted by many farmers in the
Southern Alberta district.

pleted last year which will help mat
ters when spring opens up. In the
Warner and Milk River districts dis
cling was started on February Is, but
had to be abandoned owing to cold
snap, but with present warm weather
work will start again.
One of the problems that will con-
front the farmers this year it is gen.
orally admitted, is that Of labor, many
farmers staying they will not pay
more than $40 a month and board.
IL they cannot get help at this figure
they say they will sow what land
they can take care OF themselves.
Many of them, however, express will
ingness to pay bonus in addition
TO the wages mentioned if there is
good crop this year and the grain
