Saves, Time and Material HERE'S a practical and

inexpensive spreaderfor handling any finely-ground fertilizing materialsuch as rock or lime phos-phate, limestone, etc. It ismade almost entirely of wood, only a few pieces of flat iron, rods and bolts be-ing required. It will operatesatisfactorily at speeds up to10 m.p.h. Fig. 1 shows thespreader in use on a truck,but it operates equally wellon a rubber-tired tractor

trailer or an ordinary farmwagon. About al l tha t isnecessary to adapt it is tochange the length of thehangers and perhaps the"knocker" or agitator arm.On a farm wagon, the knocker-arm contacts on the wheel can beclamped to the spokes.

The hopper, Fig. 3, is 12 ft. longoverall and is divided into fourcompartments. The compartmentsadd to the strength of the assem-bly and also make it easier to keepa uniform amount of material inthe hopper. However, the hoppercan be made somewhat longer or

shorter, and wider at the top anddeeper if desired. In any case theinside width at the bottom shouldbe 2-1/2 in. The ends of the lower



measurement of the wagon or truck. On awagon or tractor trailer the hangers aresimply hooked over the endgate, and on atruck they usually can be hooked to thebed. Ordinarily, the bottom of the hopper

should be about 24 in. from the ground andin most cases two braces will be requiredto hold the hopper level as at A in Fig. 9.Nearly all users fit the hopper with a can-vas dust shield as in Fig. 1. This preventsloss of the fine material. The completedspreader should be given two coats of oilpaint to prevent warping and shrinking.

To determine the setting for a givenamount of fertilizer spread per acre, firstdraw the agitator snugly against the bot-tom of the hopper by turning down the nutson the three eyebolts as in Fig. 4. Thenrelease the nuts a given number of turnsuntil the agitator moves freely withoutbinding when actuated by the knocker as-sembly. This will give a check setting.Then fill the hopper with a known quantityof fertilizer and drive across the field untilthe spreader is empty. Measure the dis-tance traveled in feet. Then multiply the-width of the hopper by the distance trav-eled and divide by 43,560. As an example,assume that 300 lbs. of material in the 12-ft.hopper cover a strip 1820 ft. long; 1820 ft.

multiplied by 12 ft. equals 21,840 sq. ft.;

21,840 divided by 43,560 equals .501, or ap-proximately one half acre covered. More

or less can be spread by adjusting theagitator. When you have the spreader ad- justed for the amount or amounts desired,make index marks at the ends and centerof the hopper as in Fig. 10. The marks thenwill enable you quickly to set the agitatorto spread any given amount. Always ad- just the center pivot whenever you change

the setting of the end pivots.
