sower

I am to be introduced to the greatest sower of ideas of the century, the author of the Social Contract, Rousseau.

The evil seed thus sown did not fail to take root and bring forth its fruit, just as the sower intended.

The field was evidently now open, and waiting for the sower of the precious seed of the Word.

An' so 'e did, till 'e married that day six months an' take to the drink in sower. '

More saving of labor still is the horse sower, which is simply the hand sower on a larger scale.
