as side dressing for crops, in con-
junction with blowing, planting, and
drilling vegetable seed. The unit
will, of course, operate alone, apply
ing fertilizer on the soil surface as
top dressing.
Another recent development is
q pull type, end wheel broadcast
fertilizer machine that consists of =
series of staggered furrow openers
that can be used alone or in combi-
nation with rolling coulters. The
machine provides burrows up to 7
inches in depth and will space the
burrows from a minimum of 6 inches
up to the width of the machine.
Thus, this machine can not only
broadcast fertilizer, but also can
place fertilizer in bands at different
depths and spacings in either titled
or pasture land; can place fertilizer
as side dressing along crop rows
OF all normal spacings, and with n
seeder added, can open the furrow.
drill grass or grain seed, and apply
fertilizer.
Bulk lime and fertilizer spreadex
also have been improved to insure
more uniform distribution of plant
food, Cummings said. Most of the
spreaders use horizontal rotating
fans with centrifugal action or lat
eral screw conveyor troughs with
series of delivery openings.

Book Tells History
OF Farm Machines

REMEMBER THE KIND of farm
machinery you used as a boy?
You'll find many of your old IA
vorites pictured in the new book.
'Land of Plenty" It tells, for the
first time, the complete story of farm
mechanization - from the slave
powered crooked stick to the modern
tractor.
Nearly half of the book is devoted
TO 1853 historical photographs and Is
drawings, sorted from thousands OF
prints in the files of 222 farm ma
chlnery companies, plus other his
torical sources.
LAND of Plenty" tells how the
man on the farm has progressed from
muscle worker commanding only
1.6 horsepower in 1870, to a director
of engines and machinery, command
ing 80 horsepower. 1t lists nearly $50
major milestones in the history of
American farm mechanization-t
most complete list ever compiled.
You may obtain copies of Land of
Plenty by sending rs cents in coin
for each book to the Farm Equip
ment Institute, 6O8 South Dearborn
Street, Chicago 5, Illinois.

has posed a crew at chow time,

and rolled his bed roll on its lee
side.
He remembers those long-horned
Texas steers from such incidents as
the hard winter of 1906-07 when as
he says, 1.-THE snow was deep and
crusted. The range cattle that had
drifted in along the river used to
work out on the ridges to Craze.
I liked to watch those big KIT
steers wallowing UP through the
drifts-they were mostly Texas
longhorns and wild as antelope.
Their bellies were straight line
from brisket to flank, so gaunt a
belt would have spanned them"
Indian scenes which he paints to-

the Sioux and Assiniboine tribes just
across the river from the Capital p.

bucks, some of whom had been
the braves and young chiefs of
Indian war days just past.
