The Gamel' Agricultural-Machine Building Plant has produced the first
model of a new silo combine. This machine ca~mpletelq mechanizes the har-
vesting of root crops and the preparation of fodder oa animal husbandry
farms. The combine has been approved for aeries production.
PRODUCffi IMPROVED TRACTOR PLOW -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 28 Dec 50
The Altay Agricultural-Machine Building Pleat has begun produc:tioa of
a new five-bottam~ tractor plow. An improvement over the old model, it con-
sists of more than 40 djifereat unite, same of them automatic.
The plow 3s intended for heavy soils and can cut to a depth of 28
centimeters.
The Akmoliask Kazakhsel?:~ash Plant has seat out its first group of new
machines designed to break up the ice on winter pasture fields. A machine
of this type can process 65 hectares per day.
DESIGN NEW' CO'1"TOB-PICKIliG, CLEAHIIiG MACHII~3 -- Moscow, Pravda, 1 Jan 57-
The State Special Design Bureau has designed a number of new high-duty
machines with a view toward furthering the mechanization of cotton-grotring
operations. A group of engineers, headed by Stalin Prize winner M. N.
Markov, has modernized the BShM-48M cotton picker, which is now ~F10 kilo-
grams lighter than the old model. A ~~oup of designers, headed by Engineer

I. K. Knznetsov, has designed a three-row cotton-picking machine Por non-
irrigated regions, which is to be put into aeries production. They have
also designed a six-row cotton picker Por harvesting unopened "kurak" cotton
pods.
A number of engineers, headed by V~ I.?Gorbunov, has designed a machine
Por picking "gaze-pay" cotton.
A new machine Por prelimiTlAry cleaning of raw cotton is ready Por series
production. It is twice as productive ea the KhChO-43 cotton cleaner and
leaves a minimum oP impurities, making it possible to stuff the cotton aechani-
cally into sacks imatediately after cleaning.
In addition, the bureau has designed new earth-digging machines for the
new irrigation project, which have already gone into production.
Agronomist F. P. Kovyryalov, oP the Issyk-Kul'sk Oblast Administration
oP Agriculture, bas designed a new grain-cleaning machine which is consider-
ably superior to the well-known VIM-2 grain-cleaning aggregate. It cleans
and aorta the grain simultaneously. Its productivity is 2 tone of grain
per hour.
The machine has been tested over a period oP 4 years in the Issyk-Kul'-
skiy Rayon, and bas shown satisfactory performance.
K. A. Vatalkina, a senior associate of the Ukrainian Scientific Re-
search Institute Por Cotton Growing, has proposed a new way of immunizing
cotton need against the "gommoza" disease. The method, kaoWa as the gas-
heat treatment process, consists of treating the seed with hot formalia
vapors, which not only make the seed immune but also improve its sowing
qualities.
A continuous-motion mechanism for the production of hot gases has been
designed by Engineer P. I. Pchel?nikov of the Tashkent office oP the Glav-
khlopkoproyekt (Main Administration of Cotton Planning). It can process 2
tons of seed per hour. Recently, the Pyatigorsk Iron-Casting Pleat of the
Gormestpramnkambinat (City Local Industry Combine) produced an experimental
model of thin machine, the first of its kind in the USSR.
The auta?atic welding method devised by Academician Ye. 0. Paton, which.
involves the application oP a layer oP Plux, is widely employed when the r..
seams to be welded are straight or circular and when they have considerable
length. However, in agricultural-machine building it is difficult to apply
this method,. since the seams'ia the ma3ority oP cases are short and occur
in complex configurations.
In this connection, the Rostov Agriciiltural-Machine Building Plant has
devised a new method oP automatic welding. All the seams are placed length-
wise, and special, maneuverable welding equipment is employed. This method
applied to the welding of parts oP the se1P-propelled mover has speeded up
production Prom 3.5-4 meters per hour to 40 meters per hour.
