SOVIET FACES CRAVE PROBLEM IN GRAIN CROP Nation In Midst of FarReaching Agricultural Revolution (United Press Staff Correspondent ) .Moscow, March 10 —(UP) — The Soviet Union never In its 13 years of existence faced a year in which its gain prospects and the farming outlook in general were more obscure and problematical. Tire nation is In the midst of a far-reaching agricultural revolution and it in literally impossible to predict With any degree of certitude how that revolution will affect production. From the basis of small individual households, over 25 millions of them each working its small allotment of land usually with old-fashioned tools and methods, the farming of the vast Soviet Union is being quickly transferred to a basis of large eomnnunui estates, working large area and whenever possible with modern machinery. The process of change lias already gone far. By February Ist, according to official statistics. 8.000,000 individual farmsteads have been merged into collectives. By tlie end of September it is expected that fully half the grain growing area will be on a collective basis. Will the change bring the increase in production promised by Soviet leaders? Will it on the contrary, cause a temporary decline? Optimistic predictions can be cited, but they aie always made for political purposes and cannot stand a scientific test. Tlie pessimistic forecasts, similarity, come chiefly from circles opposed to the whole collectivization idea and must be discounter! for that reason. Without venturing a forecast, however, il is possible to summarize certain known indications: The area under winter plantings is l per cent larger than last year. Tlie winter crop is less important in Russia than the spring sown crop. The autumn and early' winter satisfactory. An insufficiency of snow made the first frosts dangerous for the seeds. Nevertheless an average winter crop is expected. Th official program for the spring plantings calls for an 11 per cent expansion of the total sown area, ami a 20 per cent increase In the acreage under wheat. If this program is carried out, it will give Russia not only surcease from its perennial bread problem, but very likely some exportable surplus. The ou'tiook for its achievement is not at this moment especially brilliant, hut knowing the energy and resourcefulness of the highly centralized Soviet government it would be too early to make predictions on the basis of present difficulties. Heretofore the upper layer of bet ter-10-ilo peasants, tlie kuiaks constituted an important factor in the production of grain. A deliberate elfort to crush Ibis class is under way now so that it must lie eliminated as a source of marketable grain. The country must look to the newly-formed collectives not only to increase tlie productivity of their own members but to make up the margin wiped out with the suppression of the kulaks. Can they perform this task? if hey possessed machinery —and originally the whole collective idea was predicated upon the use of ma chinery —there would lie little hesiation in answering the question affirmatively. The collectives, it happens, have multiplied so fast that tlie government cannot supply tractors and other modern machines to a quarter of them, if that many, it must fall hack upon horses aid oxen to make up the wide dis terente. Even of those tlie supply seems inadequate. Tens of thousands of peasants, before merging their property with that -of their neighbors in socialistic communes, decided to dispose of their live stock. The slaughter of horses and attic lias been enormous and after s the plans for spring planting. Moreover, the piesa recently raised a loud alarm over the fact that the collection of seeds for the new communes was not proceeding well. Early in February less than 25 per cent of the necessary had boon gathered, although th” plans called for lire entire campaign to be envied by the middle of Feb ruary. Trite, the press is likely to exaggerate its alarms witli a vie", to stimulating tlie activities ol local off rial's. Yet the figures were too gloomy to allow of such explanation. But despite the unfavorable immediate situation, Hie strong measures of the Kremlin may turn the scale before tlie actual spring plantings begins. / “Invaluable” Say Society Women MELLOtrLO Face Powder Is preferred hy beautiful women because it leaves no trace of (Inkiness, pastiness or irritation.
