Book Description
Excerpt from History of Norton Township With the problem of breaking overcome, it might have been expected that the soil would become tractable and obedient to the touch of its master but yet another obstacle had to be surmounted. The old wooden plows and those of cast iron that were coming in from the east and those of boiler plate that were made by local blacksmiths would not scour in the light vegetable mould after it had been stirred up by cultivation during several seasons. Various remedies were tried but without avail until it was discovered that a high grade of steel would clean itself. The first steel plow of which there is any record was made in 1833 in Chicago. The maker of this plow, John Lane, used an old saw - probably a worn out crosscut, - which had been cut and deprived of its teeth. John Deere's steel plow of 1837 was a real breakthrough in prairie farming. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
