April 26, 1918 A New Farm Implement. In the presence of about 200 farmers and others interested, a successful field trial was held in one of Mr G.T.SMITH's paddocks near Pimpinio, on Saturday afternoon last, of a combined cultivator, drill and harrows, which had been patented by Mr SMITH and placed on the market by Messrs. MAY and MILLAR, of the Wimmera Foundry Horsham. The implement proved a great success, and it was the opinion of those present that it is going to be a boon for the farmer in many ways, not only as a great labour saver but also as being the means of saving two teams of horses, feed for same, upkeep and wear and tear of extra implements, as well as the three operations of cultivation being completed in one. The implement did its work splendidly. It was drawn by seven horses, but six would work it comfortably. It is constructed with a good wide front carriage, which prevents any sway when the cultivator is let deep into the ground. It has three rows of tynes (sixteen in all) with fifteen hoes from the drill, one tyne being left out for the overlap on the following round. There is one lever on the front to give the cultivator any dip required, and two at the back of the machine are easily accessible to the driver on the foot-board. There is also a straight set of spikes or harrows at the rear, which makes the work complete, covering 8ft 3in in width. The fact that thirteen orders have been booked up by Mr S.R. MAY, with others coming in, speaks for itself, and farmers requiring any information will be readily supplied by Messrs. MAY and MILLAR, Wimmera Foundry, Horsham.
