BUadreds of Vila 3 plows, one of which has been on exhibition at the Prague
Spring Pair, have been -faotured at the foundry in Osijek in Slavonia this
ea
y
r
.
'Two and one-halt tiles more plows will by made there-this year than Jae,. The new plows
Are'attraeting attention-because of their simplicity, lightness and solid construction.
Ia 1948 th5 foundry mandfaatured two series of motor presses for hay and
straw, the first axon to be made in Tugos avia. The factory is swamped with
orders for these ;reason..
Beet planters, earn planters and combination planters for grain which now
seed and spread manuts simaltanoously, power corn grinCmrs, and power hay rakes
art brin produced at the foundry. Your kinds of grain sowers, which plant
grain in 12, 14, 16 or 18 rowt, are under production. About 1,200 percent more
of these movers are being memfactured than before the war.
Power grinders anA a certain new type of groin sorer will be prodreed
during 1949 from prototypes shown at the Prague fair.
Three-row planters for corn and beans or corn and pumpkin seed oral two-
row planters for corn -which can be drawn by a single horse are now in
prc&twtion.
? o sosswbat similar types of potato planters have been developed at
the founds,. A month ago, the design for the first Yugoslav horse-drawn
bay rake was ocspleted. The first of these rakes have already been tsetse.
They are lighter and mox+s oonyenient to operate than foreign models. They
will be serially prodnc4i during the first half of 1949.
ninety percent of the parts for the prototypes of a Univerrea1 tractor-
drawn oultivator have been completed. This cultivator can be ad)usted for
corn, sugar beets, beans, potatoes, and many other plants. Plans for a
tractor-drawn sower are now being completed, and the prototypes of a
spreader for chsmioal fertilizer and of a combination threshing machine for
stutilowers and corn have been finished.

FARM MACMXIC FACTORY IN VWWDmmA -- Borba, No 71, 24 Mar 49
Now covers, cultivators, plows, binders, selectors, threshing machines,
horse-drawn rakes, and other farm machines will be produced this year for
the first time in Yugoslavia, at the new "Pobeda" Fetm Machinery Factory,
lb Novi Bad in the Vojvodina. At this factory, which began operatic- in
1948, selectors ffarm machines for oiean:,vg grain seea!) are now being
serially produced for the first time in Yugoslavia. Designs have been com-
pleted at this plant for mowers, another new item in Yugoslavia.
This factory has taken over the "Vojvodina" and'Vojvodjanska Livnica"
(Tojrodiba Fons.Lry) farm machinery factories in Novi Bad, both of which still
operate in their old buildings. The new factory, which is still under
?eonatruction, is located well on the outskirts of Novi Sad where there is
space for further expansion. One main hall with modern machinery is now in
operation, and a fomndry will begin operations very soon. The workers from
'the crowded and unhealthful "VojvodjanSka Livnica" viii move into these
modern quarters as soon as they are ready.
The now selectors are better than their counterparts made abroad because
the machines are constantly being perfected. The use of cheap cast iron
instead of brie and tamper castings for sale looks and crankshaft bearings
has been Mt tod at the factory.
A model of a press is now being constructed, by which or, many as 100,000
holes per square meter can be punched in drums for selectors by a few str*es,
Instead of by boring each hole individually, as is now being done.
3!W FARM MACHIM PRO ZEMOM PLANT -- Borba, No 71, 24 Mar 49
The new types of farm machinery to be serially produced at the "Zmj"
Factory in Zeman this year include reapers, binders, and elevators. Lash
yeast' email reapers, one of which out 8,000 kilograms of wheat in 10 hours
ware supplied by this factory to many rural districts. Such reapers are
,very satisfactory on muddy fields because of their lightness. The proto-
,typo of a large reapers which can now 25,000 kilograms of grain in 10 hours
%has been made at this factory, a several such reapers have been delivered
since production was initiated at the beginning of January.
;.ate in 1948, the production of plows for rice fields was begun, and
'ay now enough have been mmxfacuur.,d to fill Thgoslav needs. A rotary
cutter which does the work of 500 men in cutting canals has also been
produced. It is now in use in the 9'ojvodim, '-ith increased capacity,
equipped with two rptors, will be manufactured this year. They will be
particularly useful an the building sites of the Danube-Tina.-Danube
Canal.
About 65 percent of the workers at the "Zmaj" Factory are teen-agora.
