u. S. Tractors
To Norway

One of the most pressing items
under Norway's agricultural re-
construction program is the i'm
porting of tractors from America
to replace those worn out during
the war. The Norwegian Govern
ment in London purchased 100
1910 Fordson tractors before the
capitulation which have already
been distributed in Norway
through Norwegian firms. An ad-
ditional 270 Ford-Ferguson trac-
tors have now been purchased and
are expected to arrive in Norway
shortly.
According TO an announcement
by an official of the Norwegian
Supply Department licenses have
been granted for the importation
of 900 tractors in all, or the total
number which Norway can afford
at the present time. Their pro-
curement is complicated both by
a valuta shortage and the need
for tractors in the United States.
It has also been announced that
plans for the distribution of these
tractors have already been drawn
up, which, according to reports,
will provide for the cooperative
purchase and use of a single trac-
tor by several farmers in given
