Through the Erie canal by canalboat, through the Great Lakes by sailing schooner and down the Ohio by flatboat and barge and river steamboat they sw'armed into the Middle or West. They came on wheels. They jolted over bumpy frozen roads in stagecoaches or in Conestoga wagons p in the which sank down mud when the spring thaws came. And tied to the side or the rear of those wagons there were always plows plows with wooden moldboards or one o f those new iron plows made by Jethro Wood or one of his many imitators. But when they arrived at the end of their journey and set themselves to the task of breaking the prairie sod, they encountered the same difficulties experienced by the Easterner who rejoiced too soon because thar aint no stumps to plow around. So it was for a few years in And then John Prairieland. Deere, the Yankee blacksmith, appeared on the scene hub-dee- of one of the first three steel plows made by y Deere was born February 7, 1804 in the village of Rutland, Vt., the son of William Ryland Deere, an English merchant tailor, and Sarah Yates Deere, daughter of a British soldier who had fought then in the Revolution and stayed in America to become a citizen of the new republic. Soon after his birth the family moved to Middlebury and in 1812 the elder Deere left his family there and returned to England, for reasons which are unknown. Unknown also is his fate for he never came back. So Sarah Decie continued to operate the shop until she died in 1826. In the meantime young John Deere had apprenticed himself to Capt. Benjamin Lawrence of Middlebury to learn the blacksmith trade. His apprenticeship ended in 1825 and for the next few years he worked for others or in his own shops in various parts of Vermont. During these years Deere varied his routine of ordinary blacksmithing, such as shoeing horses all around for a dollar, by designing and makshovels, hoes and ing tools pitchforks. All of them had a ready sale for the Vermont e farmers found them and easy to handle. (Later in his life Deere went back to Vermont and was delighted to find some of the tools e had made still in use after nearly 60 years). The Western Fecr. Dunng these years also he had seen many of his friends and neighbors, infected by the Western feer, pack up their goods and start out to seek their fortunes in the Midd'e West. But so far that Western bug hadnt bitten him. In 1827 he had married Dcmarius Lamb, a girl from the town of Granville, and she had presented him .with three daughters and a son. The needs of his growing family brought sharply to his attention the necessity for improving his fortunes and the turning point in his career came in 1834. In that ear Maj. Leonard Andrus sold his store in Vermont and went out to Illinois where he settled at a place called Grand Detour on the Rock river. Upon his return to Vermont he told his friends such glowing talcs of the possibilities of this new country that many of them were persuaded to accompany him when he went back the following year. Eventually John Deere also caught the Western fever and in 1836 he set out for the Illinois country, leaving Demarius, who was expecting another child, to follow him after she was able to travel. Deere set up a blacksmith shop in the little settlement of Grand Detour and soon had all the woik he could handle shoeing horses and doing repair work of one kind or another. As he listened to his customers talk about their plowing troubles he began thinking more and more about a solution for them. But he wasnt able to figure it out until one day when he visited the sawmill which Leonard Andrus and some others were operating near Grand Detour. There he noticed a large circular saw of fine Sheffield steel winch had been broken and cast aside. As he saw how the sun shone on the metal, polished by well-mad- I cut a saw with a pattern out of paper for the moldboard and share. I laid the pattern on the saw and cut around it with a hand chisel, with the help of a stnkcr and a sledge. I then laid the piece on the fue of the forge and heated it, a little at a time, shaping it as best I could with the hand hammer. After making the upright standards out of bar iron, I was ready for the wood parts. I went out to the timber, dug up. a sapling, and used the crooks of the roots for handles. I shaped the beam out of a stick of timber with an axe and a drawing-knife- . In this fashion, I succeeded in constructing a very rough plow'. Success! Now that his plow was made, the next thing was to see if it would do what he hoped it would. The farmers around Grand Detour had heard about the new model w'hich the blacksmith had fashioned but they were skepti- cal about its being any better than the plows they had brought from back East. So crowd of them were for its first test. the trial The place selected was a field, owned bv one Lewis Crandall, wheie, they said, no plow had ever sunned. They hand-chise- l. fr helped hitch one of Cinndalls horses to the bind .miths crude plow, Deeie took laid of the handles made from sapling roots and Crandall slapj ed the reins and clucked to his horse to go ahead. The steel point bit into the gummy soil which began to cut and curl from the moldboard in a neat, smooth furrow. After an eighth of a mile they stopped and pulled the plow out of the ground. By cracky! exchcned one of the spectators who lrul been following them, Sues clean' No need for a paddle with that plow. She moves right along and polishes herself as she moves' His enthusiasm vvas echoed v the others. But it is doubtful if any of them realize fully the importance of the event they had just witnessed irnpoi tant in the history cf American agriculture and in the history of America itself. In 1838 John Deere, while carrying on his blai ksmithing work, made three plows. The next year he made t( n and by 1842 he was building t.vo a week to supply the demand for them. In 1843 he and Andrus formed a partnership and built a brick factory to house their growing business. By 1846 they were turning out 1,000 plows a year. The next year the two men dissolved their partnership, Andrus remaining at Grand Detour and Deere mov111 where he esing to Moline, tablished the business which, by the time of his death in 1886, had become famous al over the world. In the meatm.e other had entered the field Americans to supply with the instrument by which the final act in conquering the wilderness was accomplished. But John Deeres fame was secure.
