It was a prototype and I don't think the final Planer Jr. seed drills looked like the prototype. I actually have an old Planet Jr. seeder. Blogged about it somewhere int he past. There are pictures on Google images. Maybe the original prototype is in the Brandywine museum in Delaware. Aren't you kind of close to Delaware? Do you get to the mainland very much?<br /><br />Robert—<br />I like what you wrote!<br /><br />I think Samuel L. Allen's "Precepts" give us important insights into a man who pursued "deliberate integrity," which is a great example of masculinity at its best.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-31561140290721300012015-02-12T00:12:14.392-05:002015-02-12T00:12:14.392-05:00Great example for my generation.

We can be cosmopolitan without being urban. And a man living closet to the land and improving not only his life but the lives of others is a great example for us all.

How does the seed...Hi Herrick, Well I am intrigued! How does the seed drill work? Do you fill the washtub device and roll it along on the wooden tire? Does the "tire" have holes drilled in it? how do you fill the washtubs with seed? And where would you put the handles and make it roll? One person operation or two? Gotten so old I just can't envision things anymore LOL EverettELittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614884616908281632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-90530860769546658492015-02-10T14:43:50.820-05:002015-02-10T14:43:50.820-05:00Very wise words.

It was not supposed to show up here at the top of the blog. I wanted it to be buried in my archives. But I'm leaving it here and the reason I have posted it will be evident tomorrow or the next day.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.com
