American machinery in olden Palestine report cites growth
American Consul G Ravadal of Beirut reports Syria and Palestine show rising adoption of American farming gear. He notes low wages, use of American plows, reapers, windmills, presses, engines, and limited French and German equipment earlier. Oil and steam engines compete with Britain and Germany, with irrigation shifts and a predicted eight-year duty-free period for agricultural implements.
