UNITED STATES RIVAL
OF GERMANY IN ITALY
Sharp Competition in Introducing Ag-
ricultural Machinery and Implements.

Sharp competition exists between
American and German manufacturers of
agricultural implements for Italian
trade, says a recent report to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor from
Vice Consul Smith at Milan. Germany
has the better of the competition in
many respects and sells the great num-
Der of plows and cultivators.
The greater part of the harvesting ma
chinery is from the United States, but
American engines and thrashing ma
chimes are considered complicated by the
Italians, and this interferes with their
general use. Cheap labor is a great
drawback TO the Introduction of modern
agricultural implements.
