Ancient Australia offers quite a contrast to the pres¬ ent one—large producer of gold and wool and wheat. During the year 1913 to 1914 Australia raised more than 103,000,000 bushels of wheat and great quantities of oats and maize and barley. Besides, it produced great quantities of mangolds, hops, and honey. Aus¬ tralia employs nearly 300,000 people in more than 13,000 factories.

THE SPREAD OF THE MOGUL TRACTOR
By L. B. Webster, of Webster Bros., New Plymouth, N, Z, The picture on this page shows the first oil tractor to be used for general farm work in Taranaki, the leading dairying province of the Dominion of New Zealand.
The Mogul tractor is doing its work in a thorough manner and has already evoked considerable interest throughout the farming country. Further sales are sure to follow. This Mogul was placed to the order of Messrs. Clifford Bros., of Lepperton, by chief blockman, G. A. Laird and assistant blockman, J. E. Coomer—Webster Bros, chief agents.

Description | Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969. |
