ing. The style of plow that is
being operated by Mr. Groce is

it has a set of gang disc plows,
not unlike the old harrow. The
discs are 24 inches in diameter,
arranged diagonally behind each
other, in a V shape, and they cut
a swath of twelve feet at a clip
and from nine to twelve inches
deep. , -Elliott
Groce, son of Mr. Groce,
is 'in charge of the j outfit. He
can plow on a five per cent grade
and work easily on k three per
cent grade. It is possible to cul
tivate a. still deeper hillside by
plowing in. downward curves.
The machine travels two and one
half miles per hour and the plow
works perfectly. Five men are
used to operate the plow, one
being, a hand to look out for
stumps and rocks that the man
on the engine might not see.
Mr. Groce figures that the
opperation of the plow costs him
about $10 a day, and that it takes
the place of twenty-five negroes
and mules plowing the old way.
If it were not for stoppages for
wood and water the plow would
take the place of thirty-five hand
plows. He says he is going to
rig up some sort of apparatus to
prevent these stops.
T h e outfit cost Mr. Groce
$3,000 and he regards it the best
investment he has ever made.
He has men to come all the way
from Georgia, North Carolina
and the lower part of South Car
olina to see the plow. He is al
