For Farm Machinery
May Meet Schedule
H
While the fa'rm machinery pro
duction program was 10.7 per
cent behind schedule June 1, and
some items will not meet goals
originally set, the War Produc
tion Board announced that pro
duction of some items, such as
tractors, for which the demand
is very high, will exceed the goal
set.
Fertilizer distributors, listers
and middle busters are ahead of
schedule. Mold board plows are
practically on schedule, and it
looks as though grain drills, and
disc, spike and spring tooth har
rows will meet schedule.
While garden tractors, trac
tor-mounted cultivators, side de
livery rakes, hay loaders, mow
ers, combined and power spray
ers were behind schedules, May
production was considerably
above average production of the
previous 10 months. Power
sprayers are behind schedule be
cause of Army and Navy con

sprayers, which are almost iden
tical with agricultural type
sprayers.
