Description: 
Real photo postcard. A farmer drives an early International Harvester (IH) gas tractor in a field hitched to a modified horse-drawn tornado disc harrow. A notched harrow is behind the disc harrow a short distance. The farmer with the tractor may also be plowing with a single-bottom plow. A harnessed horse is to the left of the tractor-drawn equipment and the farmer on this machine may be plowing - though it is somewhat obscured. The field is mostly worked up and very gravel laden.
