The mullahs, or Muhammadan priests. are said to be strongly opposed to this new invention, which they call "shay- tan omach." or "the devil's plow."

But the Turkestan peasants take kindly to the tractor after. they see its superiority over their primitive wooden ox-drawn plows. One case is even report- ed in which a Turkestan peasant insisted that the tractor be pre- sent at his marridge, as a sort of honoured guest.
