Davy Tipton Period 3rd 1/9/03 Chapter 22 section 1 Define: A.)Industrial revolution- the transformation from an agricultural to an industrial nation. B.)Industrialization-To develop industry in a country or society. C.)Enclosure- The words enclose and enclosure are written indiscriminately enclose or enclose and enclosure or enclosure. D.)Crop rotation- The successive planting of different crops on the same land to improve soil fertility and help control insects and diseases. Identify: A.)Tull - 1674-1741, English agriculturist and inventor. He studied methods of agriculture in England, France, and Italy and influenced British agriculture through his writings, which include The Horse-Hoeing Husbandry (1733). Tull advocated the use of manures, pulverizing the soil, planting with drills, and thorough tilling during the growing period. He invented (c.1701) a mechanical drill for sowing. B.)Seed drill- tool used to create a hole, usually in some hard substance, by its rotary or hammering action. Many different tools make up the drill family. The awl is a pointed instrument used for piercing small holes. In its early form it was a thorn or a tool of bone or chipped flint; many prehistoric awls of flint have been found. The gimlet, which consists of a cross handle holding a metal shaft with a screw point, is used for boring small holes. Its principle and that of a similar tool, the auger, were known and used in ancient times, but the tools were much improved in the Middle Ages. The auger has a cross handle containing a shaft that usually ends with a central screw-shaped point; the point acts to pull two knife edges about it into the material to do the actual cutting.
