Probably the first. steam blowing
outfit ever introduced in this section
was put to work on the farm of A. G.
Russell north of GAINESVILLE recently.
The machine does the work of six
plows, and harrows the ground as it
passes over it at the same time. With
the new device, which is the first used
in the county, he is able to till one and
half acres of soil in an honr, two
acres a day being considered fair
average under the old methods. The
machine accomplishes the same amount
of work as it would require fourteen
horses to do.
