Combines no til revisited

Didn't Allis innovate the Wheel Track Planting method tooIJ My Pa had a wheel track Allis planter when we lived in Illinois and moldboard plowed. When we moved up here on this lighter soil, we switched to chisel plowing and also started No-tilling in 1976. First ones for many miles around here to try it - several neighbors nearly drove in the ditch seeing us no-till into some sod that first year. Dad always said that wheel track planting worked quite well for him. I can only barely remember it - I was just a lil'fart back then!

I don't know about the no-till but didn't Allis invent the vote counter in FloridaIJ

Well, as Curley would say: "Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck!"

Yes. It was my great Aunt 'AllIS P. Brannon'. It was a brilliant machine invention. It has instructions written on it such as "hold the ballot in an upright position " and "if the ballot has punches that have not been completely dislodged, discard this ballot and obtain a new one from an election official and vote again." This was a very complicated device involving a pencil with no lead with a string or chain on one end and was invented to ensure that people who can't read and follow instructions don't elect officials. -)

Amen to that comment brother! If people can't check their own ballot and make sure they voted for the right person and their chad fell out then their vote should'nt count!
