Form Machinery
Goes to Europe

Farmers who have had trouble
in getting their orders for mach
inery filled because of needs of
farmers overseas can at least be
assured there is "real need"
abroad. Dr.. r. ..-.r 8. ....-,.lt
That report came out of a ten
month ION the scene" study made
by a farm machinery survey mis-
sion from this country.
Machinery has helped make
up for shortages of farm labor
abroad, it was said. It also "has
made possible the saving of a
large harvest in 1913 despite a
short harvest season and inter-
ruptions by adverse weather."
Many farmers in this country
have asked whether machinery
going to the Marshall Plan coun-
tries under the ECA program is
being used efficiently and whether
it is increasing food production.
The report said that those coun-
tries believe machinery has been
an important factor in making
their agriculture more productive
and efficient. It has helped start
improved farm management prac-
tices that will reduce farm pro-
duction costs, according to the
office of foreign agricultural re-
lationS. .....s
