American MACHINERY for Swiss.

Since the beginning Of the war Swiss
peasants have paid increased atten.
ton to American agricultural machln.
cry, especially to motor plows. The
principal drawback-to the introduction
of modern American agricultural ma.
chinery in Switzerland is that few
farmers own more than five to ten
acres and about five to ten head Of
cattle; but recently the larger peas
ant associations have shown an inter-
est in such machinery, and they might
act as purchasers of the machines,
renting them to the farmers. The war
has made unusual demands on the
farmer, because OF the lack of laborers
and horses. This has created senti.
ment in favor of the introduction Of
motor-driven machinery for working
the ground, to avoid a-serious short.
