RANDALL .V MERCER’S COTTON-SEED DRILL. \LL Planters have realized the want of a machine to drill Cottou Seed with regulauty and certainty; one that would operate equally well on every kind >t lan i, and at the same time be so simple in construe tion and operation that it conld be used by negroes without liability of getting out of order. A Drill which tee think possesses all these qualities, we now offer to the planting community. Alter a thorough trial for the last two years in diferent hands on all kinds of land, we would state some of the advantages to be derived from their use. Ist. Tbe saving of seed, which will amount to enough in planting oue buudred acres, to pay loi the machine. 2d. The saving of labor iu planting, one horse and hand only being required to open ihe farrow, drop tbe seed and cover from seven to nine acres per day. 3d. Tbe great saving of labor in chopping out, the seed being deposited in a line one after another. 4th. The great saving in subsequent hoe work, owing to the fact that any plow hand cau, in siding, cover all the (irst crop of grass in the drill, however small the cottou may be, without injuring the stand. These advantages all farmers will appreciate ; and below we give some certificates, from which the public can learn how these Drills are appreciated by gentle men of the fit st standing in out section of the State— all practical farmers, who nare thoroughly tested them, and are consequently fully competent to decide on their merits. CERTIFICATES. This is to certify that I planted one hundred and sixty acres of cotton with RaDdulland Mercer’s Planters, and I consider them superior to any thing of the kind I have ever seen or tried. The saving of seed alone would pay tor the machines in a season or two, and I think a band cau do one-third more hoeing than he could in cotton planted the common way. Lee county, Geo, July 13th, 1855, S. L. BARBER. Alegars. Randall & Mercer. —Gentlemen; In reply to yours of this date, I can say with satisfaction, that I have used your Cotton Seed Drills on the farm of D. A. Vason, Esq., with great success. I consider them to be of great value. They are a saving of about one third of the labor of cultivation, about two or three bushels of seed to the acre in planting, and a great saving of labor in planting, as they open the furrow, drop and cover the seed with one norsc and hand. 1 think them worth one hundred dollars a piece to ant planter that plants full crops of cotton. As for myself would not plant a crop of cotton without them for no consideration in the bounds of reason. Yours, very respect full v. A. J. BARKSDALE. Lee county, July 12th, 1855. I have used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton Planters two seasons, and consider them of great value to the far mer. I save seed enough each year to pay for the Planters, then I save at least one-third the labor of cultivation, as the cottou is sowed in so narrow a line that with plowing there is but little boe work needed. There is also a saving of bands and horses in planting. I should say they were worth one hundred dollars each, and recommend every farmer to use them. D. McLENDON. Lee county, Geo., July 9th, 1855, J5T* I have been overseeing for Mr.S. D. MeLandon the present year, and fully concur ift his statements above. DAVISSON.WARREN. • Dougherty Cos., Ga., July 14tb, 1855. Col J.H. Watson —Sir: This is to certify that I have used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton-seed Drill of your manu factnre, and am so well pleased with them that 1 would recommend all planters who have uot tried them, to give them a fair trial. Whera the Drills are used there is a great deal of labor saved in cultivating a crop, owing to its being so uniform in the drill, the plowing can tie done much better, and with greater despatch, consequently the hoe work is lighter, as good plowing supercedes the necessity of a great deal of hard hoe work. K. BRASWELL. This is to certify that I used one of Randall A Mer cer’s Cotton-seed Drills last year in planting my crop, and was well pleased. I have used five ot them the present year, planting my entire crop, and am still bet ter pleased. There is a saving of between two and three bushels es seed to the acre in planting, besides one horse and one hand with these Dulls does the work { ot three hands and two horses. Then there is a saving of one-third of the hoe work, the cotton being in so straight and narrow a row-. I consider them worth one hundred dollars each to any planter, aud recom mend all to purchase and use them WM. U. OWENS. Dougherty Cos., Geo., July IC. 1855. | Messrs. Randall & Mercer. —Gentlemen: In reply to yours I will say I have used three of your Cottou seed * Drills, and consider them of great value, from the fact that in the use of them I saved from two to three , bushels of seed to each acre planted, and at least one third of the labor of cultivation, not requiring one half as much hoe work as the old way of planting—also, a i considerable saving in the labor of planting. I never expect to plant cotton without them, it I can get them at any price. I have planted eight acres per day to each Drill. They are simple, easily managed, and there is no difficulty abaut getting a good staud. Very respectfully yours, W. F. HAMRICK. Lee county, Geo., July 12th 1855. Thomasville, Thomas county, Ga. Col. J. H. Watson: Dear Sir: I can recommend your Cotton Planters (Drill) in the highest terms. I have tried them on all my land except new ground, and I think they wil do in that. They will do in a mountainous country as well as in a level. If I had not bought I would* travel to your shop, which is 75 miles, and pay fifty dollars a piece for them. It saves one-third of the work, one hand can plant as much as two, and one hand can chop out three acres while one can chop out one acre after a common plow. Y'ours recpectfully. K. BRASWELL. Messrs. Randall dk Mercer —ln reply, to yours of the sth instant, in reference to your Cotton seed Drill, I am happy to say that after planting a portion of mv present crop in the old way, I was enabled to obtain one of your Drills, with which I finished. It is the desideratum and loDg sought after. Many aud varied have been the attempts of intelli gent minds to attain what you have accomplished, but with only partial success. This leaves nothing to be desired in a Cotton Drill. It deposits the seet uniform ly and continuously in a straight and narrow line as you wish, saves about one half the labor in planting and about one-third of the hoe work in cultivation, j It is almost needless to add that I am delighted with ! your Drill. Yours respectfully, J. E. MERCER. Lee county. Geo., August 10th, 1855. Messes. Randall ik Mercer —Gentlemen: I used one of your Cotton seed Drills the past spring, and I feel four fold paid for what it cost me. To give your Drills a fair trial, I planted every other row with the Drill and the intervening rows 1 planted as well as ever Cot ton was planted before your Drill came into use. The result was, that in the row planted with your Drill I got a more perfect stand, ana 1 think it grew off’ much better, besides 1 realized a great saving in the labor ol working over mv cotton the two first times. I shall continue to use them as long as I plant Cotton. I remain yours, Ac.. JESSE COCK. Lee county, Geo. r ’ Messrs. Randall dk Mercer —Gentlemen: I have used eight of your Cotton-seed Drills, manufactured by J. H. Waston, on Col. Joseph Bond’s Fowl Town plantation. I am much pleased with them, having realized great saving of seed, of labor in planting anil chopping out, and the hands at the first stdmg could go over at least one third more in a day, and do better work than in cotton planted in the best way 1 could plant with col ter and block. I have no hesitation in giving it as my opinion that in the use of your Drills there is a saving of one-third of the labor of cultivating a cotton crop. Col. Bond is pleased with them aud will continue their use. Yours, respectfully, JAMES CHEEK. Fowltown, Geo., July 9th, 1855. This is to ceitify that I have used two of Randall A Mercer’s Cotton Planters, and have no hesitation in saying that they will do. The saving of labor in plant ing is an object, the saving of seed is an object, aud the cotton stands in such a narrow drill that it may almost be kept clean writhout the hoes. There is nothing to equal them iu planting cotton. WM. B. REYNOLDS. Lee county, Geo, July Ist, 1855. Lee county, Ga., Aug. 23d, 1855. I have used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton seed Drill, which I purchased of Col. J. H. watson, and think thev are the best machines now in use. lam satisfied 1 there is a great saving in seed and a greater iu work. ! I am fully satisfied there is one-third of the hoe work i saved. Try them, and any reasonable man will be sat isfied thev are worth more than three times the price they are sold for. PHILIP W EST. Having obtained from Messrs.
