A Sure Way Toward Improving the Utilization of Agricultural Machines

The MTS played an important historical part in the formation and strengthening of the kolkhoz regime. They ensured material-technical conditions for a highly productive utilization of the fleet of new agricultural machines and were carriers of technical progress. Pursuing a program of a sharp upsurge in agriculture, the CP in recent years carried out a number of serious measures aimed at the further strengthening of the MTS and increasing their role in the development of collective farms. The tractor fleet of the MTS was increased, as compared with its prewar number, almost twice and the volume of work carried out by the MTS increased 2.8 times.
