Maxwell Surface Plow Looks Good to Those Who See It.

Only a very few were on hand Saturday afternoon to see J. C. Maxwell’s surface plow demonstrated. The plow looks mighty good and will evidently prove the best cultivator ever put in a corn field. In front of the surface blades are two discs, between which the corn row passes. They are so adjusted that they throw the earth up close to the <»rn row, covering up small weeds and guaranteeing protection to the roots of the corn. The surface blades then cut the weeds and pulverize the ground between the rows. Mr. Maxwell was disappointed that more farmers were not on hand to see his plow in operation.
