The Hoover Digger as now improved, stands far ahead of all other so-called potato diggers.
Some machines work on certain soils and under certain conditions, but the Hoover works well
every where—on all kinds of soil, and in-all conditions of soil, leaving the potatoes in a narrow
row directly behind the digger. free from dirt so that two men can Ee up as many potatoes in one
_day as four men can behind any other digger. ‘et A. T. LANE.
