Re: Prairie seeds second series THIRD LIST:

EQUIPMENT:
8.    Truax Seed Drills

New Tribe (Tom Ness & Sophia Sparks)
mail        5517 Riverbanks Rd,  Grants Pass   OR    97527
phone    503-476-9492
supply    highly ingenious and effective devices for pulling weeds, shrubby
                growth,and small trees effortlessly from invaded prairie.

9.    There was/is a firm in Austin which developed for their own use a
vacuum  backpack unit which sucked seeds up wherever the probe pointed.  It
was a converted ordinary leaf-blower;  they improved it steadily, and then
sold the new models  (I bought one, 12 - 15 years ago).  Who were/are they,
and are they still selling them?
