The 5-Year Plan and Specialization
OF Agriculture

----~-t2e farming, the plan of the spring sowing
campaign has been carried out-100 million hec-
tars have been put under Seed the sowing area
under industrial crops has increased compared
with 1880: in regard to cotton SOB per cent and
rs per cent above the plan; in regard to sugar
beet, 307 per cent and AS per cent respectively;
in regard to sun-flowers, 1875 per cent, flax 35
per cent and 81 per cent; the vegetable garden
area has increased 1877 per cent, and has ex-
ceeded the plan by 12.5 per cent.
In August about 1000 new machinery and trac-
tor stations-the main support of the collective
farm movement-were already operating. Thus,
the task set by the plan-1 ,030 Machanized Trac-
tor Stations-is nearly fulfilled. The socialist
enterprises-the Soviet and collective farms
have been placed on sound technical basis
which guarantees the further success of the
economic development of agriculture. In 1884, the
Machanized Tractor Stations were catering
for sowing area ten times larger than that OF
1880. Their present capacity guarantees that
about one-third of the whole sowing area will be
ploughed by tractors.
The task of so per cent collectivization was
fulfilled already by the 10th of May, and by June
goth, there were in the collective farms already
SAT per cent of the total number of peasant
farms G3,499,000) with 216,500 collective farms.
BY September l. the percentage of collectivzation
had grown to 60 per cent
In the agricultural domain the USSR has out
distanced all the other countries The develop
ment OF the Soviet farms is demonstrated by
more than twofold growth of the sowing area
80 to million hectares. The Soviet farms play
an important role in the solution of the stock
raising problem.
The proportional weight of the national reve-
nue. in the socialized sector has increased from
745 per cent in 1880 to S1.8 per cent in 1881 The
gross output Of agricultural produce increased in
1881, compared with 1880, Sc per cent in regard
to grain, 81 per cent in regard to cotton and n

out the United States from any participation in

the United States foothold in Manchuria kill

Defeated in this effort, Hartman backed by
Morgan g. Co. and Kuhn, Loeb g. Co., decided
to build new railroad controlled only by them
selves In 1909 they secured concession from
the Chinese government to build this road from
Chinchow, on the coast of South Manchuria. to
Aigun, on the Russian border. At the same time
Knox, then U. S. Secretary of State, proposed
to China that she borrow money from American
and other bankers and buy all the railroads that
Japan and Russia then owned in Manchuria.

IT has been possible to increase the output in
all the branches of industry. For instance
the growth in August, 1881, compared with Au
gust, 1880, is as follows:
The Socialist agricultural sector has become
the decisive sector: The collective and Soviet
farms, taken together, constitute 20 per cent of
the sowing area.
In a series of large grain districts, 70 to 80
per cent Of the poor and middle peasant farms
are organized on collective basis, their share
in the sowing area is 80 to 95 per cent. In these
districts Tin North Caucasus minus some of the
national regions, on the lower Volga minus Kali
mykia, on the left bank of the middle Volga, in
the Ukraine and in the Urals, and to consid
cradle extent in the Crimea and in Moldavia),
collectivization has been completed and liquid

ignition of American industrial meth
DDS has been gwen by the Soviet gov
eminent in the form of a tribute to
II. J. c. Macdonald, mining engineer,
of Denver. Colo, for his work in the
development of Russian metallurgy.
An official decree, made public by the
Soviet Supreme Council Saturday, not
only expressed the thanks of the Sow
let Republics for the introduction of
the American system Of mining, but it
rewarded Macdonald with a prize of
approximately $500 and announced
that his methods would henceforth be
employed in all enterprises dealing with
non-ferrous metals and iron and steel.
The decree called attention to the
fact that MacDonalds system resulted
in large economies.
Macdonald. who holds a high con-
sultant position with the Soviet mine
trusts, said:
II am naturally grateful for the
honor, but Of course the work for
which it is bestowed would not have
been possible without the cooperation
of the Russian officials and workers
with whom was associated"
He is a pioneer among the American
specialists in Russia's industrial de-
velopment and is now in his fourth
year here. He is virtually In charge of
all planning, administration and eX-
ploitation of most of Russia's mines.
