INCREASED QUOTAS, PRODUCTION OF ftEif IMPLEMENTS
AT U88R AGRICULTURAL MACHINE BUILDING PLANTB
IMPROVES PRODUCTIOft INDEXES -- Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiya, 5 Apr 52
The 1951 state plan Por gross and commodity production for the Gomeel'-
mash Plant imeni L. M. Ksganovich vas considerably i?creased, anal a number of
organizational and technical measures were necessary to assure Fulfillment of
this plan.
The leading section cP assembly shop No 2, which rlicPe RSS-6.0 silo straw
cutters, vas the first unit of the plant to go on a complete coat-accounting
basis. It oleo initiatied the movement to make the plant an e?terprise of
collective Stakhanovite labor. Other outstanding units are machine shop No 4,
assembly sbcp No 3, the foundry, and the metalwaree and wheel shop.
The labor consumption of OS-1.0 grain cleaners vas almost halved betxeen
1 January 1951 and 1 March 1952?
By saving rev and other materials and electric power, the Gomsel~mash
Plant shoved a profit of 6,240,000 rubles in 1951, although in 1950 the plant
had shown a loss of about 3 million rubles. In 1951, the plant lowered pro-
duction costs 25.1 percent. It fulfilled its February 1952 plan Por commodity
production by 116.2 percent. -- A. Bykov, director, Gomsel'mash Plant
Minsk, Sovetskaya Bcloruselys, 10 Apr 52
The Gomael'maeh Plant has organized the output of fanning mills, and has
already produced 500 trills. This month, the plant x111 also star.*? producing
grain dryers.

PRODUCE FLA% CC~INES; FACE INCREASED PLAN __ Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiys,
8 Apr ~2
Oa 1 April 1952, the Lyubertsy Agricultural Machine Building Plant imeni
Ukhtomskiy started producing flax-harvesting combines. Shlykov, Mayat, and
Moiseyev were eaerded a Stalin Second Prize for building this complex machine.
The combine removes the baed pods from the flax so that the stalks can be
ratted the same day. This increases the yield of fibers.
The plant organized the output of the flax combines without halting produc-
tion, and at the same time continued to increase current production.
Moscow, Moekovskaya Pravda, 8 May 52
The Lyubertsy Agricultural Machine Building Plant imeni Ukhtomskiy exceeded
its 1951 plan and completed the plan for the first 4 months of 1952 ahead of
schedule. Ia the past 3 years alone, the plant has increased output 2.3 times,
and reduced the labor consumption of K-1.4 mowers by 55 percent, of K 2.1 mowers
by 58.5 percent, and of LT-7 flax pullers more than two times.
The most labor-consuming tasks at the plant have been mechanized; constant-
flow linen have been organized in the machlne-assembly, forging sad stamping,
and woodworking shops, sad in the foundry; the cupola furnace has been improved;
and 222 machine tools have been converted to high-speed cutting.
However, there are still a number of shortcomings in the plant s performance.
In 1951, almost three fourths of all re~ecta were the result of carelessness in
the foundry.
Thousands of man-hours are wasted because of time spent repairing equipment
above and beyond the plan, and because oP orgaaizaL!onal shortcomings ouch as
late delivery of materials, tool shortages, and inefficient planning.
Because a larger size of metal was used when the proper size was not avail-
able, 574 tone of bar stock were overconeumed.
The patteramakers and carpenters weate a great deal of time and materials
working with substandard, low-grade wood, sometimes scrapping sa much ae 60-70
percent of the boards they receive.
These shortcomings must be eliminated to assure successful completion of
increased production quotas. In 1952, the plant must Pulfill a program that
is 30 percent more labor consuming than that of 1951, and must organize the
production of the LK-7 flax combine and the K6-A three-tier mower.
Plant shops must produce 335,E parts a day, not r_ounting fasteners, to
meet their daily quota. It takes more than 3 million operations to produce this
~nY Parts. -- B. 3amsonov, patternmaker, Lyubertsy Plant imeni. Ukhtomekiy, Deputy
to the Supreme Soviet USSR
i.SSUME ADDID OBLIGATIONS -- Frunze, Sovetskaya Kirgiziya, 9 Apr 52
Vlorkere of the Frunze Agricultural Machine Building Plant imeni Frunze have
assumed the following obligations for the remainder of 1952:
To fulfill the 1952 production plan for agricultural machines by 21 December,
to produce 1,200,000 rubles' worth of above-plan output, to exceed the plan for
labor productivity ?-y 2 percent, to save 500,OOJ rubles by cutting production
costs, to save 50 tons of metal, to saw_ 2 million rubles by util'_zing innovetione
in production, and to complete the preparation of shops for the winter by 1 Novem-
ber.

MAKES FERTILIZER SPREADERg -- Tashkent, Pravda Voetoka, 9 Apr 52
The Tashkent Avtotraktorodetal~ Plant has built 1,300 fertilizer spreaders
for use in cotton growing,
BUILD DEVICE FOR SOWING I10)L9P HEMF -_ Alma-Ate, Kazakhstanskaye Pravda, 12 Apr 52
The Kazakh SSR affiliate of VASKhNIL (All-Union Academy of Agricultural
3ciencee imr~t Lenin) hsa devised a means of converting a cultivator into a
seeder for Indian hemp, for operation with the SKhTZ tractor. The Alma-Ate 20

tivators for sowing Indian hemp.
WORKED ON SUGAR-BEEP COMBINE 20 YEARS _- Minsk, Sovetskc,ra Belorussiya,
18 Apr 52
Vasiliy Alekseyevich Koren~kov dedicated 20 years of hie life to developing
a universal sugar-beet harvesting machine. From 1935 - 1936 on, he worked with
I. Yeremeyev and G. Mel~nikov, scienti?ic associates of the All-Union Scientific
Research Institute of Beet Cultivation, and their work culminated in the develop-
ment of the three-row sugar-beet combine.
This complex machine harvests 2~ hectares of sugar beets per sh!ft, replac-
ing 15-18 workers, or 50 hectares of sugar beets per season. The combine is three
times as productive ae the former harvesting machine, the sugar-beet lifter.
The best combine operators have managed to double its seasonal productivity.
The machine digs up three rows of beets simultaneously, cute off their tope
and stores them in a hopper, and deposits~thr sugar beets on the ground in heaps
weighing 200-250 kilograms.
The combine harvests up to 98 percent of the eager-beet roots, and 85 per-
cent of the harvest can be delivered to the sugar-beet-processing plant without
additional trimming, Looses in combine hexveating are no greater than with hand
digging.
ASSEMBLE TEA PICKER -- Moscow, Trud, 15 Apr 52
The Tbilisi Machine-Building Plant imeni Ordzhonikidze is assembling the
first models of tea picking machines designed by the Tbilisi Design Bureau,
Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building USSR. The new machines, which have
been tested on tea plantations replace 120 tea pickers.
TEST TEA PRUNING MACFQNE -- Tbilisi, Zarya Voetoka, 30 Apr 52
Five ChU-?-.l tea priming machines designed by N. Koeta?~ are being tested
,: at the Ingirskiy Tea Sovkhoz, near Zugdidi, Georgian SSR. }.ach of the machines
pruned 2-2.5 hectares of tea bushes in 8 hours. In 9 days of mechanized pruning,
the machines saved 1,800 man-days oP labor.
The ChU-2-1 can operate on grades up to 30 degrees. The machine can also
deposit mineral fertil+.zers, cultivate, and do heavy pruning. The machine, simple
in design, is operated by one man. The ChU-2-1 received a high rating Prom
specialists and workers of the Ingirskiy Tea Sovkhoz.
