Adams-Tractors -- Russian farmers sow buckwheat with an experimental electric tractor on a collective farm in the Ukraine's Cherkasi region, between Kiev and Odessa, just north of the Black Sea. Russia claims to be proceeding rapidly in the electrification of farm equipment after five years of experiments. Stretching behind the tractor is the power-supply cable which the Russians claim reaches nearly a mile. September 16, 1954. (Photo by North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.).
