DON'T LIKE u. s. MACHINERY
South American Farmers Are Kicking
Against Its Weight.

By United Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. PA COM
mittee of South American farmers to-
day complained bitterly to representa-
tives of agricultural implement con-
Germs in the United States against the
heaviness of farm machinery, particu-
larly horse-drawn equipment. that
North American manufacturers ship
into this territory and try to persuade
them to buy.
German manufacturers, whose trade
is now cut off, had studied the South
American farmers desires in this re-
spect and gave him what he wanted.
The smaller, lighter German ma
chinery was purchased and the heavy
North American product let alone.
Today the American agents, as the
only machinery men in the field. are
trying to compel the farmers to buy
heavy implements on the theory that
a big machine can do more work at a
relatively lower initial cost and less
power, proportionately, than a smaller
one. The weakness of their argument
is that the South American horse is
small and light and can't draw
heavy load
