Breaking Worlds
Plowing Record
That a full acre of can be turned in less than
five minutes with one outfit seems an impossibility, but
to those who have seen it done it appears easy. It is a
fact that not long ago the world's record for plowing
hi acre was broken on the great farm of Purdue
Lafayette, Ind., when an acre was turned evenly
and perfectly in the astonishing time of only minutes
and seconds. This was done by a Base Oliver En-
Gang Plow made by celebrated plow concern of
that name in South Bend, Indiana's great and growing
manufacturing city. Three horse-power tractors sup-
plied the motive power.
The Oliver Engine Gang Plow is something new,
although its quick popularity is attested by the fact that
hundreds of them are already in use in Canada, the
and other western states. The test of fur-
row plow on the Purdue farm demonstrated the
of this wonderful modern invention and this was
also further proven in a more recent exhibition in South
Bend where a bottom gang plow pulled by three great
horse-power gasoline tractors, was shown to an
crowd of men and women assembled on one of the
Oliver farms. Moving pictures of the plow in operation
were made for exhibition purposes.
