For the new lines, as in the case of the harvesting machines, the Bureau obtained most of its information directly from the producers, the data in most cases covering a period of nine years. Similar information was also produced in the Government's suit with respect to the domestic sales of certain companies. These data, however, were not sufficiently complete to make it possible to compare the production of the International Harvester Co. with that of independents year by year. For the year 1911, however, the Bureau is able to make an approximately correct statement of the proportion of production controlled by the International Harvester Co. for disk harrows and spreaders. These percentages are obtained by adding to the reported output of the International Harvester Co. and the principal independents, estimates of the output of a comparatively few independents not reported. The results are shown in the table following. Table 37--DOMESTIC PRODUCTION OF DISK HARROWS AND MANURE SPREADERS BY THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. IN 1911 COMPARED WITH THE TOTAL PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES. Β«Includes number sold for independents not reporting production. (See note 1, Table32.) According to the foregoing table, the International Harvester Co. had about 43 per cent of the total production of disk harrows in the United States in 1911, and about 55 per cent of the production of manure spreaders.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

' Of the new lines made by the International Harvester Co. which are included in the above table, one of the-most important are the tillage implements, particularly harrows. In disk harrows and spring tooth harrows the International Harvester Co. had no less than 25.9 per cent and 49.1 per cent, respectively, of the total production in the United States in 1909. The International Harvester Co.'s proportion of cultivators was much smaller. Comparing the one and two horse cultivators of the International Harvester Co. with the wheeled cultivators reported by the census, its proportion was only 11.5 per cent. For the tillage lines taken together, however, the International Harvester Co. had acquired in 1909 a very important part of the total production in the United States. In farm wagons the proportion produced by the International Harvester Co. of the total production of the country in 1909 was 13.0 per cent, although it entered this branch of the industry only abou four years before the date of the census. ' In hay stackers and hay loaders, which are the only lines of "hay tools" for which comparative data are available, the production of the International Harvester Co. was 24.2 per cent and 20.8 per cent,...

<p> Ancient farmers used draft animals for plowing but the heavy work of harvesting fell to the humans, using sickle and scythe. Change came in the mid-19th century when Cyrus Hall McCormick built the mechanical harvester. Though the McCormicks used their wealth to establish art collections and universities, battle disease, and develop birth control, members of the family faced constant scrutiny and scandal. This book recounts their story as well as the history of the International Harvester Company (IHC)--a merger of the McCormick and Deering companies and the world's leader in agricultural machinery in the 1900s.</p>
