 International Corn Planters Are Well Constructed 
 
 Built in 5 Styles 
 
 The planters are all steel with the exception of the tongue. The frame of the planters is one 
 continuous piece of high grade steel, the rear portion being circular in form, giving the frame 
 exceptional strength and stability. The frame is attached to the runner frame by two large pins, 
 making a strong connection but allowing the runner frame to pivot independently and to con- 
 form to surface irregularities. The entire construction of the International corn planters is 
 simple, but very efficient. 
 
 When the kernels are well planted, more than half of man's battle in securing a good crop 
 is won. The International corn planter was designed for the one purpose of putting the corn in 
 the ground in the best possible manner for rapid growth. 
 
 It is in the field that the International corn planter proves its superiority. Provided with 
 variable and automatic drops, and with edge drop, flat drop, or full hill drop plates, the corn is put 
 into the ground according to the power of the soil to develop it to full maturity. Practically all 
 fields vary as to the producing ability of the soil. A planter with an assortment of drops, there- 
 fore, becomes of great assistance in securing a uniform crop and enabling the soil to develop the 
 seed to its fullest extent. 
 
 The Automatic Marker Is A Great Convenience and Time-saver 
 
 In turning on the ends the driver can devote his entire attention to his team without the 
 necessity of hooking one arm around the marker standard to hold the marker up. The handling 
 of the marker on the International corn planter is entirely automatic. When the runners are 
 raised from the ground the marker is also raised by means of a malleable iron crank which is 
 keyed to the end of the shaft and comes in contact with the foot lever, this in turn being con- 
 nected with the lifting lever. The action, therefore, of raising the runners out and of raising the 
 marker is controlled by the lifting lever. The marker assumes a vertical position and is held 
 there until the runners are again lowered into the ground. 
 
 The marker is a concave steel disk 11 inches in diameter and is held in position on the marker 
 pipe by two sand collars, one on each end of the hub. On the various planters it is adjustable to 
 suit the various row adjustments of the planter.

 International Corn Planter No. 2 
 
 The No. 2 International corn planter is the same 
 in all essential details as the No. 1. It is the narrow 
 type of planter and will plant in rows only 28 inches 
 apart. It is adjustable, however, to plant rows 44 
 inches apart as well, the adjustments being every 2 
 inches. To make these adjustments possible the 
 frame has been made 3 inches narrower than the 
 No. 1 planter. It is provided with an automatic 
 marker. The marker, however, is guided by a steel 
 loop from one end of the runner bar to the other.

 The Equalizing Spring Carries the Load 
 
 The equalizing spring is located under the rear of the tongue and 
 is connected to the lifting lever with a compensating link which equalizes 
 the power at the different points of the movement. This makes it much 
 easier to operate than if the spring was attached directly to the lever without 
 a compensating link. In placing the spring under the pivoting points 
 of the frame, the load is taken from the pivot and placed on the spring. This 
 insures longer life of the pivoting points and keeps the runner frame secure 
 and solid with the drive frame. The spring is adjustable to suit the weights 
 of different drivers. The spring also assists in the raising of the automatic 
 marker. 
 
 The runner frame is pivoted between the equalizing and 
 compression springs. The compression spring holds the runners 
 in the ground, but when an unusually soft spot is encountered 
 the runners cannot go too deep because the equalizing spring 
 holds the frame in the correct position. The movement of the 
 runner frame is, therefore, controlled by two springs. This con- 
 struction materially assists in securing a uniform depth of 
 planting. 
 
 Adjustable Tongue Assures 
 Even Planting 
 
 The spring does most of the lifting 
 
 13 
 
 Even spacing and checking corn requires 
 that the seed cans stand level. This requires that 
 the planter be adjustable to suit the height of 
 different teams used. The International corn 
 planter is, therefore, equipped with an adjustable tongue. The tongue is connected to the runner 
 frame with large serrated adjusting brackets and heavy steel braces which make the tongue con- 
 veniently adjustable to suit the various teams and planting conditions. Below the pole is a 
 heavy steel bar which extends underneath the square pipe of the runner frame and rearward to 
 the lifting lever crank, to which it is connected by a powerful compression spring with a large 
 plunger bolt. This virtually causes the runner frame to float and permits of an elastic move- 
 ment which causes the runners to conform to the uneven surfaces of the ground.

 The No. 4 planter is practically the same as the No. 1 except in size and with reference to 
 the marker. The No. 4 is larger both as to frame and wheels. The frame is 6 inches longer 
 than the No. 1 and the wheels are 36 inches in height as compared to 30 inches for the No. 1. 
 The boots on the No. 4 are made correspondingly larger, to suit the larger size of frame and 
 wheels. The No. 4 is equipped with a regular marker. It is not necessary, however, to dismount 
 from the seat with this marker because of a steel wire loop which guides the marker chain from 
 one side of the planter to the other. The 36-inch wheels on this planter are especially adapted 
 for use in fields where the seed bed has been prepared by a lister.

 The Automatic Drop 
 Deposits 2, 3 or 4 Kernels in a Hill 
 
 An automatic or power drop is provided on the International corn planters. This makes it 
 possible to use the planter without check wire and drop either two, three or four kernels in a hill. 
 The large sprocket on the main shaft with 20 teeth will plant a hill every 28 inches, and the 
 medium sprocket with 14 teeth will plant a hill every 41 inches. The small sprocket with 11 
 teeth will plant hills 50 inches apart. Sprockets can be furnished to give any spacing required. 
 
 In adjusting or changing the machine for the automatic or power drop, it is necessary to 
 place the small lug No. 1087A in the U-shaped clutch opening of casting 1081 A. This lug is 
 attached with a 3g-inch cap screw. It is also necessary to place a 3 4 ' x p^-inch bolt through the 
 holes in castings 1044A and 1045A. These stop lugs are part of the trip spring brackets and 
 must be bolted to avoid all lost motion. The bolt and lug should be removed when using wire, 
 otherwise the corn will string out, as the valves are partly open. The power drop lug, 1087A, 
 the J4 x ^-inch machine bolt will be packed extra, and can be furnished as an extra on No. 1, 
 No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 planters.

 International Corn Planter No. 5 
 
 The No. 5 is the wide row planter. It is the same in equipment as the No. 1 except the 
 tread is wider, being adjustable to widths of 42 inches, 44 inches, 46 inches, and 48 inches. It 
 is equipped with the automatic marker, but the steel loop used to guide the marker chain is used, 
 the same as on the No. 2 planter. 
 
 International Corn Planter No. 6 
 
 The No. 6 planter is a straight drill drop only. The drop clutch is discontinued on this 
 planter, and no reel or check wire is furnished. The No. 6 planter is designed especially for the 
 use of the farmer who wishes to drill his corn instead of checking it. 
 
 The runner frame is cut off on each end and the check heads removed. The clutch feature 
 is entirely eliminated, and the No. 6 planter is used only for drilling. Plates are furnished having 
 the necessary number of holes for dropping two, three, or four kernels in a hill. This planter is 
 also regularly equipped with the automatic marker. Below is a table of the seed plates furnished 
 with this planter.

 International Corn Planters of the No. 6 Type Are Thrown Out 
 
 of Gear Automatically 
 
 International corn planters are constructed so that they require the least amount of atten- 
 tion from the driver while operating them. The automatic throw-out on the No. 6 type requires 
 no attention from the driver. When the runners are raised from the ground, the automatic 
 throw-out releases the drive clutch and the feed shaft remains out of gear until the runners are 
 again lowered into the ground. The latter action releases the clutch, and the planter is again 
 ready for operation.

 The axle is \}4 inches in diameter, and is mounted on the gear frame with two heavy, long

 No. 4 and No. 5 planters three differently sized sprockets are fastened firmly on the drive axle, 
 inside of the frame. These three sprockets are used where it is necessary to change the distance 
 between the hills when the power drop is used, or to space the distance between separate kernels 
 when drilling. On No. 2 and No. 6 planters there are two sprockets on the axle and two on the 
 drive shaft, making four changes for distance possible.

 Three Regular Types of Seed Plates 
 
 With International corn planters the edge drop, flat drop, and full hill drop plates are the 
 three regularly furnished. Each cell in these plates is just large enough to contain a kernel of 
 corn edgewise or flatwise with the edge and flat drop plates, and a full hill of kernels for the full 
 hill drop plate. 
 
 [ The seed plates are operated by small pinions attached to the shaft by set screws. The seed 
 plate gears have grooves which match with an arrow on the flange of the pinion, bringing the 
 seed plates into their proper position and compelling them to operate always in exact time with 
 the openings of the valve. Over three-fourths of the plate is constantly exposed for cell-filling. 
 It is practically impossible for a cell to present itself empty over the valve. 
 
 Special plates can be furnished for handling Indian corn, pop corn, sweet corn, milo maize, 
 Kafir corn, sorghum cane, beets, peas, cowpeas, and. beans of various sorts. 
 
 A Special Pea Attachment 
 
 Many farmers are now planting peas with corn to be used not only for a green feeding crop 
 but as a fertilizer for the soil. The special pea attachment for the International corn planter 
 makes possible the planting of the peas simultaneously with the corn. 
 
 By means of the diverting block in the pea can, the seeds may be dropped into the regular 
 boot with the hill of corn, or they may be dropped through a special tube attached to the pea 
 can and be deposited a few inches to the rear of the hill of corn, and thus planted nearer the sur- 
 face than the corn. To change from one to the other method of planting requires only the revers- 
 ing of the seed diverting block.

 The Efficient Duck-Bill Valve 
 
 One of the most striking features of the International corn planter is the boot construction and 
 the duck-bill valve. Illustrations show the boot in cross section, one with the valves open and the 
 other with the valves closed. The construction insures excellent checking for the reason that 
 the kernels are dropped directly into the bottom of the furrow. The boot does not have any 
 ledge or tumbler to detain the corn as it drops into the valve. The kernels are not left on any 
 dirt surface and then pushed off to find their way by gravity or as best they can to the bottom of 
 the furrow. The action of the valve in this boot is similar to a duck-bill and hence, it has been 
 termed the duck-bill valve. 
 
 The illustration to the left shows the kernels of corn held in the very bottom of the valve until 
 the check wire opens it. The valve opens and kicks backward thus knocking away the dirt which 
 may have gathered up around the valve and which otherwise would keep the corn from dropping 
 into the bottom of the furrow. 
 
 The illustration at the right shows the valve open and the action as just described. Note also 
 that the entire valve moves downward and acts as a force drop, at the same time that the duck- 
 bill portion of the valve is kicking out the dirt from the boot. 
 
 It will be seen that while the kernels are in the lower valve ready to drop out, three kernels are 
 gathered just over the upper valve. Both valves are opened simultaneously; thus the kernels 
 in the upper valve drop into the shank and down into the lower valve and are ready to be depos- 
 ited in the furrow when the check wire again opens the valve. 
 
 This valve on the International corn planter should be carefully investigated by the pros- 
 pective buyer. It is entirely new and has proven itself to be the most scientific and practical 
 valve on the market.

 A Quick Acting and Effective Cut-off 
 
 Cracked and crushed corn does not grow. The cut-off on the International corn planter lets 
 the kernels into the valves without cracking or crushing. The chief feature of this cut-off is that 
 it is in two parts. When the full hill or flat drop plates are in use both parts of the cut-off work 
 simultaneously and permit only the desired number of kernels to drop into the seed plate cell. 
 When the edge drop plate is used only one part of the cut-off operates. By this construction the 
 cut-off fits down tightly on to each and every plate that is being used, resulting in very efficient 
 work and the prevention of practically all crushing and cracking of the kernels. 
 
 Brush Cut-off for Kafir Corn and Small Seeds 
 
 For planting Kafir corn or small seeds, it is only necessary to put in the brush cut-off in 
 place of the regular cut-off and the Kafir corn seed plate or the special seed plate that is desired. 
 
 The knock-out in the brush cut-off is constructed so that it hits the plate cell fully insuring 
 a clean drop of the kernels or seeds. 
 
 The Variable Drop Means Better 
 Planting 
 
 The variable drop on the International corn 
 planter makes it possible to plant 2, 3 or 4 kernels 
 in a hill by simply shifting a clutch lever. The 
 working surface of the adjusting cam controls the 
 pawl which is attached to the top clutch bearing 
 and governs the different periods of movement. 
 The quick adjustment makes possible changing the 
 number of kernels in a hill to suit the varying con- 
 ditions of soil in the same field. The variable drop 
 is one of the features that makes the International 
 so popular!

 The Advantages of Four Types of Runners 
 
 The fact that there are four types of runners for the International corn planter makes it a 
 planter that will meet every condition of soil. The four types of runners are the sled runner, the 
 stub runner, the disk runner and the double disk runner. The sled and stub runners are perfectly 
 familiar to corn planter users. In a season when the ground works up in a lumpy condition, the 
 disk runner is preferred by many, because of its cutting qualities. It will readily cut either a 
 large lump of dirt or even a bunch of stalks and straw. The disk is set at an angle. This con- 
 struction gives it a cutting power of its own besides being forced into the ground by the weight 
 and action of the planter. 
 
 The double disk runner works on practically the same principle and is preferred by a good 
 many users because of its superior cutting features. The double disk runner requires a special 
 boot. The other three runners are interchangeable on the regular boot. 
 
 One type of runner is 
 
 furnished regularly with 
 
 the planter and the type 
 
 desired should be specified 
 
 when ordering. The other 
 
 types can be furnished on 
 
 special order at addition- 
 al cost.

 The Automatic Reel Operates from 
 Either Wheel 
 
 The reel for the check wire regularly furn- 
 ished with planters Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5 works 
 practically automatically. A friction wheel runs 
 on top of one of the planter wheels and is 
 clutched to the wire reel, the clutch being 
 operated by a foot lever. The friction wheel 
 can also be released from the drive wheel by 
 throwing the foot lever to the rear, which pushes 
 it^backand up and locks it away 
 from the drive wheel. Eighty rods 
 of check wire is furnished with 
 each planter, the spacing to be 
 specified when ordering the plant- 
 er. Provision is made on the 
 planter frame for attaching the 
 reel so that it will operate on 
 either side of the planter, as 
 
 Does not need to be carried while planting desired 
 
 The Main Frame and 
 
 Couplings to the 
 
 Runner Frame 
 
 The frame of the Inter- 
 national corn planter is made 
 of one solid piece of high-grade 
 steel. The rear portion of the 
 frame is made circular. This 
 construction makes the frame 
 strong enough to withstand any 
 strain that will be put upon it 
 and to always keep the operat- 
 ing parts in perfect alignment. 
 This in turn insures even drop- 
 ping of the hills and satisfactory 
 service from the planter. 
 
 The forward ends of the 
 frame are attached to the run- 
 ner frame by two large pins, 
 which allow the runner frame to 
 pivot independently and thus 
 conform to uneven surfaces.

 Fertilizer Attachment 
 
 The fertilizer attachment is an important addition to planter 
 construction. This attachment can be furnished with all five of 
 the International planters. It can be easily and quickly attached 
 to any planter. Indicators are on the bottoms of the cans and 
 can be set for regulating quantity of fertilizer to be distributed. 
 The cans are also provided with the well-known Star Feed hav- 
 ing an agitator in the center. The feed is accurate and regular 
 in dropping the quantity of fertilizer wanted. 
 
 An important feature of the International fer- 
 tilizer attachment is that it drops the fertilizer just 
 back of the hill and sufficiently far so that the 
 chemical action of the fertilizer does not injure the 
 corn. Where the fertilizer is dropped directly on 
 the hill, it does more damage than good. With 
 the International the hill of corn is covered and 
 the fertilizer dropped to the rear, so that 
 the seed receives all the benefit without 
 any of the injury. The fertilizer attach- 
 ment is thrown out of gear automatically 
 with the raising of the runners. It is 
 also provided with a lever for hand con- 
 trol. 
 
 r 
 
 
 he fertilizer attachment requires but a 
 few minutes work to put on or take off
