IMPROVED SEED PLANTER.

Daniel J. Davis, Red Boiling Springs, Tenn.--In this invention two

wheels revolve upon the journals of the axle. Upon the end parts of

the axle are attached the rear ends of side bars, the forward ends of

which are bolted to the outer sides of the forward ends of the plow

beams. The forward ends of the beams are bolted to the ends of the

front bar, to the center of which is secured the forward end of the

central bar. To the beams are attached the plows for opening furrows

to receive the seed as it passes from the conductor spouts. The lower

ends of the spouts or tubes pass in through the sides of the plows, so

as to conduct the seed into the bottom of the furrows before they have

been partially filled by the falling in of the soil. The dropping

plate is concaved around its dropping holes, and is provided with a

plate that may be adjusted to cover one set of dropping holes to drop

the hills twice as far apart as when both sets of holes operate.
