FARMALL Planters
in 2 and 4-row sizes
When cultivating time
comes, you’ll be glad you used
a planter that clicks off the
hills straight and even with an
accurate check clear across the
field.
The new planters especially
designed for the new Farmalls
give you that kind of check.
The two-row checkrow
planter shown above is an
adaptation of the well-known
McCormick-Deering “100
Series” Planters and of the No.
JIM
110 Planters so well liked by
thousands of Farmall owners.
We call the new planter the
No. HM-110. It is being used
here with a Farmall-A, but it
works just as well with the
Farmall-H and Farmall-M. It
can also be supplied as a two
row drill which we call the
No. HM-111.

Planter. Come in and talk it

Cactus Blooms Out
Of Season
A perplexing situation has de

in Findlay.
Mrs. Bish has two cactus plants,
the type that are supposed to bloom
at Christmas time. Everything
looked all right Dec. 25 except that

strange thing happened. The plant
that failed to bloom on Christmas,
suddenly burst forth in all its glory.
