The passage argues that a Double Disc Monitor drills better by planting more evenly, lighter draft, and using one-fifth less seed. Improved planting allegedly raises yields by 3 to 7 bushels and yields a higher grade of grain through even growth and ripening.
The seed is placed in two narrow furrows about an inch apart to prevent root crowding and promote uniform growth. A grain tube deposits seeds in front of the disc axle into the bottom of the furrows with the discs’ downward motion, aided by sides that keep dirt out. The two discs produce a clean furrow that retains moisture and ensures simultaneous sprouting for even, drought resistant growth and maximum yield.
The advertisement asserts Monitor 1 drills use top materials and tested parts, are lighter draft, resist clogging in mud and weeds, place seed at the bottom of furrows with even depth, and cover with uniform earth. They claim reduced seed use, higher wheat yields, and better grain quality, with the Double Dise Drill paying for itself in a 50 acre wheat run.
