DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THE LAND ROLLER. The land roller (Table VII) is an implement of relatively light draft, and two horses operate a wide range of width. Its limit in width is determined by the awkwardness of the larger sizes rather than by their draft. The table shows an increasing acreage with increasing width, although the increase in results is not in propor- tion to the increase in width.

With this size drill the grain and grass can be sown regu- larly, and in addition corn can be drilled two rows at a time, 42 inches apart,. or three rows at a trip, 35 inches apart. Beans can also be drilled 28 inches apart, sowing three rows at each trip.
