The Gore Advertiser of January 20, 1891, says :—“ On Saturday last a trial of the Mercer Reaper and Binder (for which'Messrs Reid & Gray are agents in New Zealand) was given in a paddock belonging to J. Cregan, Gore, There was a very large attendance of farmers during the afternoon. The previous wet weather made the ground heavy, added to which the crop had not been rolled. We may say that the crop, which was heavy, was well cut, the sheaves were'ilicely bound, and a clean stubble was left If we are asked what we think of the mechanism whereby the canvass is dispensed with, we reply that we think a great deal of it. It has sounded the death knell of canvass. The operation is extremely simple and easy to understand when seen. The grain is most tenderly dealt with ; there would be no’ shaking or pressing in the ripest crop.” BINDING TWINE all kinds at Lowest Prices.
