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.
