LARGEST PLOUGH
FURROW THREE FEET WIDE (By Telegraph.—Tree* %a»oclation) INVERCARGILL, Sunday What is believed to be the largest agricultural plough ever to operate in this country, and perhaps even south of the line, was seen at work in Southland recently. About 800 Southland farmers watched the plough, with a furrow 18in deep and 3ft wide, turn over bush stumps, rushes, gorse and submerged timber with ease. The plough, which was designed and built in Invercargill for contract work in breaking-in bush country, is pulled by a 40 horsepower tractor. Giant discs are used to break the soil down to a good working surface.
