Labor saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was【S1】______."In Europe", said Thomas Jefferson, "the object is to make the【S2】______of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor,【S3】______being abundant." It was in America, therefore, that the great【S4】______in nineteenth century agricultural machinery first came..
At the opening of the century, with the【S5】______of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the【S6】______in use today had been designed in an early form.
