FIRST INTRODUCTION
Of Steel PlowS Into
This Country.

Perhaps some Of our older resi-
dents will remember when the
rolling lands Of Makawao were
covered with beautiful fields Of
waving grain, ana the -four mill,
where this wheat was ground, was
situated on King street, on the site
now occupied By the eastern end Of
our store, now filed with ship
chaudlery. Well, in those early
days Of the sixties, the only ploWs
used on these Islands fer cultiya-
ton of grain OF cane were the old
fashioned cast iron Eagle ploWs,
No. 2 aud No. 20. A little later
the cast iron Paris plow or breaker
was introduced into the cane fields
and did good service for some
years. One day q farmer came
into our store and inquired for a
steel plow, something that had
never been known in this country
He had used them in the Western
States, and said he knew they
would do much better work in our
soil than the rough iron plows used
here. We Immediately ordered two
Moline Steel Plows which were
soon put TO use and did fair
work, but were found too light for
our heavy soil. We then made
patterns for some heavier and
larger steel plows which were made
by the Moline Plow Co. These
were great Improvement on the
first. but many improvements have
been made since about the year
seventy, when these first steel
plows were introduced. And now
for number of years, we have had
the celebrated Hall Steel Plows
and Breakers, cutting from four
inches to sixteen inches, Ii is inn
possible to make any one pillow that
will be equally we'll adapted to all
the variety of soil and climates on
these Islands, but HUNDREDS of our
PloWs and Breakers are in use on
all parts of these Islands and have
given universal satisfaction, reduc-
ing in many instances the cost of
the cultivation of cane where form.
erly the Paris PloWs were used.
We would call attention to our
