TEXT-1 :
The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things : the invention of labor – saving
machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor – saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor
was scarce. In Europe, said Thomas Jefferson, "the object here is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant." It
was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth – century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of
the existing agricultural implements on their backs. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been working on
the idea of a cast-iron plow by Charles Newbold and spent his entire-fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers,
however, were not interested in it as they thought it could harm the soil. Nevertheless, many people devoted their
attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.

A renewable-energy “oasis” scheduled to be built more may serve as providing ground for new technologies
designed to bring green living to the desert. The planned research center is part of the sahara forest project which does
not mean it will to be a small-scale version of massive green complexes that project managers hope to built in desserts
around the globe
Experts are now examining arid sites in Australia, The U.A., the Middle East, and Africa that could support the
rest facility. “The Sahara Forest Project is a holistic approach for creating of local jobs, food, water, and energy, utilizing
relatively simple solutions mimicking design and principles from nature,” said Frederic Hauge. For instance, special
greenhouse would use hot desert air and seawater, make fresh water for growing crops, solar energy would be collected
to generate power, and algae pools would offer a renewable and easily transportable fuel supply. In addition, planting
trees near the complex would trap atmospheric greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide while restoring any natural
forest cover that has been lost to drought and timber harvesting. “From my perspectives as an environmentalist, this
could be a game changer in how we produce biomass for food and energy, and how are going to provide fresh water for
the future,” Hauge said.
But not all experts are as enthusiastic about the project. In term of the reforestation plans, “trying to grow trees
in the Sahara desert is not the most appropriate approach, “said a forest ecologist at the University of California. After
all, eventhough it wad literally green in the past, the Sahara was never heavily forested.
