<strong>Farmall</strong> 2- <strong>and</strong> 4-row<br />
Loose-Ground<br />
Lister Planters<br />
THE <strong>Farmall</strong> loose-ground lister<br />
planters are used for planting in lists<br />
in ground that has been previously<br />
worked, thus depositing the seed between<br />
beds of loose, well aired soil which absorbs<br />
the rainfall instead of permitting it<br />
to drain away.<br />
The two-row loose-ground lister planter<br />
is semi-direct-connected, the adjusting<br />
lever <strong>and</strong> supports being mounted on the rear of the<br />
tractor. The four-row is the pull-behind type of implement.<br />
Both the two- <strong>and</strong> four-row can be supplied either<br />
as combination cotton <strong>and</strong> corn planters or as flat-drop<br />
corn planters. The F-34 <strong>and</strong> the FA-34 are the two- <strong>and</strong><br />
four-row cotton planters. The F-134 <strong>and</strong> the FA-134 are<br />
the two- <strong>and</strong> four-row flat-drop corn planters.<br />
The cotton feed is the well-known <strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong><br />
reverse-feed type in which the picker wheel <strong>and</strong> agitator<br />
revolve in opposite directions, effectively separating the<br />
seed <strong>and</strong> assuring uniform planting. The corn feed is the<br />
flat-drop type. Any of these planters will also plant<br />
Kaffir, milo maize, broom corn <strong>and</strong> many other seeds,<br />
when equipped with plates which can be supplied. One<br />
Kaffir plate is supplied with each hopper.<br />
Must. 67. The <strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong> No. 151 two-row variable-drop corn<br />
lister. No. 152 is the same with cotton hoppers. These Deters can also be<br />
supplied less planting attachments for listing wheat ground.<br />

<strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong> Listers<br />
The <strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong> two-row lister shown in Illust. 67 is<br />
popular for use with <strong>Farmall</strong> tractors. It can be supplied either<br />
as a variable-drop corn lister or as a cotton lister, or less plant<br />
equipment for listing wheat ground. The<br />
plates supplied cover the usual range <strong>and</strong><br />
a wide selection of plates is available to<br />
meet special requirements.<br />
The newest <strong>and</strong> probably the most<br />
effective way of conserving moisture is<br />
by the basin-listing method. Basin-lister<br />
attachments can be supplied for various<br />
<strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong> listers <strong>and</strong> middle<br />
busters.<br />

can be supplied for various listens <strong>and</strong> middle<br />
busters.<br />
Illust, 69 (Left). Basin listing leaves dams<br />
across the lists, thus forming reservoirs to hold<br />
the water. This method not only conserves<br />
moisture but prevents erosion.<br />
