pOTATO digging is a part of the farm work
that is now passing from the hand stage
into the machine stage. The old method of hand
digging is proving too expensive for progressive
farmers. The Hoover Potato Digger does not
leave a single spud under ground, but lays every
one, well separated from the vines, on top of the
row. A photograph of a field that has beert worked
by a Hoover Digger shows a result that neither
spades, potato-digging-plows, nor any other ma
chines, except the HOOVER, will give.
The Hoover was first built in a crude way for
private use, but it immediately proved so success
ful that it has now come into use in every part of
the civilized world. In Oregon especially it has
made a reputation for doing perfect work, in all
kinds of soil under all conditions. See the Hoo
ver at one of our stores, or let us send you an
illustrated description of it. The Hoover wil'
save money for, you.
