RANDALL A MERCER’S
COTTON-SEED DRILL.
\LL Planters have realized the want of a machine
to drill Cotton Seed with regularity and certainty;
one that would operate equally well ou every kind !
lan t, and at the same time be so simple in construe
tion and operation that it conld be used by negroes
without liability ot getting out of order. A Drill
which mv think possesses all these qualities, we now
otter to the planting community. Alter a thorough
trial for (he last two years in diferent hands on all
kinds ot land, we would state some of the advantages
to be derived from their use.
Ist. The saving of seed, which will amount to enough
in planting one hundred acres, to pay tor the machine.
2d. The saving of labor in planting, one horse and
hand only being required to open the furrow, drop
the seed and cover from seven to nine ac r es per day.
Bd. The 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 can, in siding, cover au
the first crop of grass in the drill, however small the
cotton may be, without injuring the stand.
These advantages all farmers will appreciate ; and
below we give some certificates, from which the public
cau learn how these Drills are appreciated by gentle
men of Die first standing in our section of the State—
all practical farmers, who have thoroughly tested them,
and are consequently fully competent to decide on
their merits.
* CERTIFICATES.
This is to certify that 1 planted one hundred and
sixty acres ol cottou with Randall and Mercer’s Planters,
and 1 consider them superior to any thing of the kind
I have ever seen or tiied. The saving of seed alone
would pay for the machines in a season or two, aud 1
think a hand can do one third more hoeing thau he
could in cotton planted the oommou way.
Lee county, Geo, July 13tb, 1655, S. L. BARBER.
Messrs. Randall A Mercer.— Gentlemen; In reply to
yours of this date, I can sav with satisfaction, that 1
have used your Cotton Seed Drills on the farm of D.
A. Vasou, 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 horse and hand. I
think them worth one hundred dollars a piece to anv
planter that plants full crops of cotton. As for myself
would not plant a crop of cottou without them for no
consideration in the bounds of reason.
Yours, very respectfully.
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 tne labor of
cultivation, as the cotton is sowed in so narrow a line
that with good plowing there is but little hoe work
needed. There is also a saving of hands and horses in
planting. I should say they were worth one hundred
dollars each, and recommend everv farmer to use them.
S. D. McLENDON.
Lee county, Geo., July 9th, 1855,
JjSF* I have been overseeing for Mr.S. D. MeLandon
the present year, and fully concur in his statements
above.

Doughkhty Cos., Ga., July 14th, 1855.
Col. J. IT. Watson —Sir: This is to certify that I have
used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton-seed Drill of your manu
facture, and am so well pleased with them that I would
recommend all planters who have not tried them, te
give them a fair trial. Where the Drills are used
1 here is a great deal of labor saved in cultivating a crop,
owing to its being so uniform in the drill, the plowing
can be 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 live ot them the
present year, planting my entire crop, and ana still bet
ter pleased. There is a saving of between two and
three bushels of seed to the acre in planting, besides
one horse and one hand with these Drills does the work
of three hauds aud two horses. Then there is a saving of
one-third of the hoe work, the cotton being iu so
straight and narrow a row. I consider them worth
one hundred dollars each to any planter, and recom
meud all to purchase and use them
WM. H. OWENS.
Dougherty Cos., Geo., July 16. 1855.
Mt*srr. Randall A Mercer. —Gentlemen: In reply to
yours I will say I have used three of your Cotton 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 plan Jed, and at least one
third of the labor of cultivation. Bot requiring one half
as much hoe work as the old way of planting—also, a
considerable saving in the labor of planting. I uever
expect to plant cottou without them, if I can get them
at any price. I have planted eight acres per day to
each Drill. They are simple, easily managed, and j
there is no difficulty abaut getting a good stand.
Very respectfully yours, W. F. HAMRICK.
Lee county, Geo., July 12th 1955.
Tuomasvh.le, 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 bad
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, aud one hand can chop out three acres while one
can chop out one acre alter a common plow.
Yours recpectfully. K. BRASWELL.
Messrs. Randall & Mercer —In 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 my
present crop iu the old wav, I was enabled to obtain
one of your Drills, with which I finished.
It is the desideratum and long sought after.
Many and varied have been the attempts of intelli
gent minds to attain wbat you have accomplished, but
with only partial success. This leaves nothing to be
desired in a Cotton Drill. It deposits the sect 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.
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 d’ 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 I plautedas 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
sot a more perfect stand, ana I think it grew off much
etter, besides I realized a great saving in the labor ol
working over my 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.
Messrs. Randall tf* Mercer —Gentlemen: I hare used
eight of your Cotton-seed Drills, manufactured by J. H.
Waston, on Col. Joseph Bond’s Fowl Towu plantation.
I am much pleased with them, having realized great
saving of seed, of labor in plauting and chopping out,
and the hands at the first siding could go over at least
one third more in a day, and do better work tbau in
cotten 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 and will continue their
ATours, respectfully, JAMES CHEEK.
Fowltown, Geo., July 9th, 1855.
This is to ceitify that I have used two of Randall
A Mercer’s Colton 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, and the
cotton stands in such a narrow drill that it may almost
be kept cleafi without the hoes. There is nothing to
equal them in planting cotton.
