THE HARVESTER TRUST.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, March 16. (Received March 16, at 10.12 a.m.) A firm of harvester manufacturers of New York has written Sir William Lyne asking what inducements would be held out to it to establish a factory in Victoria to manufacture its patent harvester. The machine in question can be sold in Australia 'for £50, and if manufactured locally the farmers could obtain it at even less cost. The firm believes that it could out-distance the International Harvester' Company, which, it says, is making exorbitant profits. Tile owners of the patent are willing to allow the company to manufacture machines 'in Australia on payment of a.royalty of £1 per machine.
