a WIN THE WAR By raising more grain. And to raise more grain.you will need up-to- date farm implements. This is the place to find them, If you want to raise good corn you will need a No. 999 John Deere planter to plant same. It is the most accurate planter on the market, It has a, \ vari- able drop automobile gear shift for changing drop, with no springs or extra clutches. Number of kernels in the hill can be changed with the machine in motion. You can also change drill distance as well as number of kernels in the hill without use of extra sprockets or plates. , ¢ Kaffir corn can be planted one seed at a time. Runners are quickly attached, it not being necessary to take it to a blacksmith to remove same. The reel being under hung, buttons will not catch on frame. Forks so arranged to take up all wear. If you want the best planter made do not fail to see the DEERE. We also handle the Case and Emerson planters and can sell you an Emerson for $50.00; the others come higher. SULKY AND GANG PLOWS. We have a large stock of sulky and gang plows in the John Deere, Oliver, Emerson and Grand DeTour, Also, some others and will price most all of the above way below the present market as they were mostly bought before the recent advance.
