POWER FOR GANG PLOWING: Newcomer in the field of mechanization for Washtenaw county farms is this huge Massey-Harris tractor, shown pulling a three-plow unit on the Warren Murdoch farm at 7724 Walsh Rd., four miles north of Dexter. This machine is one of the largest, if not the largest, tractors to be introduced in the county, according to Ralph S. Jenkins, Dexter dealer. On the "Nebraska Test" it registers 47.04 h.p. on the belt, maximum, and 41.36, maximum, on the draw bar.
