Text Appearing Before Image:
Photograph by E. J. Hall Sulky cultivators at work in the Fox River Valley^ Illinois improvements made in the plow and the coming ofthe traction engine made it possible for one manto cultivate vast areas of land. The reaper, thethresher, and the corn-harvesting machinery madeit easy to harvest the grain, and the elevator soreduced the cost of handling it that other countriesare not even able to compete with this section.What a change has taken place since the settlers
Text Appearing After Image:
The West the Granary of the World 235 of America cultivated the land with a crooked stickand complained against the introduction of the plowbecause of the idea held in those days that ironpoisoned the soil! What a mighty transformationhas taken place in the business and trade of theworld since trains of pack horses carried hides andfurs to the cities of the Eastern States, and since grainrotted in the fields of the West while hundreds ofpeople in the East actually suffered for bread! The writers of history crowd into many volumesthe names and deeds of men of valor who have ledarmies, sacked cities, and put the inhabitants to the sword. They tell also of wise legislators whohave adjusted the written law to the needs of thepeople. But the inventors of modern machineryand the recent students of the soil have probablywrought more wonderful changes in the worldshistory within the last century and a half than allthe generals and lawgivers from Abrahams day to the birth of George Washington.
