POWER FARMING
GREAT BRITAIN’S NEEDS LONDON, Dec. 20. British agriculture will need tractors and farm machinery worth £20,000,000 a year, according to the National Farmers’ Union report on the position caused by the cessation of lend-lease. The union points out that agricultural demands, if met-by British manufacturers, would do much to rehabilitate the British engineering industry. The agricultural industry has been left in a position, in which it is faced with much restricted supplies of implements and machines at a time when a sustained effort for food production is required. The provision of adequate amounts of types of machinery at prices economic both to the manufacturer and the farmer has become a matter of urgent concern.
