The best remedy and the cheapest is prevention.The higher plowing speeds now becoming more common greatly heighten the danger of breakage because the forces developed When a heavy object stops suddenly, tend to increase as the square of the speed. Hence the need of safety devices is still present even though there may be fewer obstructing roots and stones than formerly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
