Title

Plow Sketch

Coverage / Year

Description

A sketch of an early plow, probably hitched to oxen or horses. A hook at the front provides for the hitch. At the back are handles for the farmer to guide the plow. A wheel in the middle provides movement.

Interpretation

This image is from 'Prairie Farmer', formerly 'Illinois Farmer', which was the most popular publication for farmers throughout the early 1900s. Many farmers read their copies cover to cover, as the publication tapped into their interests and lobbied on behalf of their needs.
