The first two stamps depict tractors pulling a line-up of, previously horse-drawn, seed-drills monitored by hands carried on stepboards behind. The stamps publicized collectivized agriculture in the early 1950s.
The third stamps shows a machine for installing soil drainage system. A similar machine appeared on the 60h stamp issued on 20/01/1961. |
