wholesale distributor reported
Most of the combines this year
were the all-crop harvesters that
can be used for many purposes,
including harvesting of grain
sorghums
Only one dealer reported any
difficulty in getting equipment
from factories That dealer said
his company had a shortage of
combines and parts, as result of
mid-winter strikes that tied up
work in the east for weeks.
