Russian Government Experiments With
Agricultural Implements Of Canadian
and European Make With intent to
Substitute for American Products.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 29.-Extensive
experiments with agricultural imple-
ments were made by the Russian de-
partment of agriculture during the sea-
SON of 1912, ending the dependence OF
Russia on American manufacturers.
More than 100 reapers and mowers
manufactured in Canada and European
countries were tested under the direc-
ton of the officials Of the department.
Many of these implements. according
to an official report made today. stood
the requirements under varied and dif-
ficult condition-notably those coming
from Canada, and it is stated that they
can be manufactured equally as we'll
in Russia.
The department Of agriculture is
sending out copies Of the report to CO.
operative societies all over the country
as the Russian farmers are largely
supplied thru these sources The gov
ernment hopes to induce agricultural
lists to substitute other instruments for
the American machines In use. Sew
enty-two per cent Of the machinery
used is sent from America.
