SOVIET REFORMS
GRAIN COLLECTION
Order Aimed to Improve Sup
plies for Urban Popu-
lationS.
By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, May THE most funda-
mental change in dealing with the
Soviet agricultural problem since collec-
Invitation began in earnest in 1923, was
decreed today by the Council of Peoples
CommiSsarS and the Central Committee
of the Communist party.
The decree alters the governments s
policy of grain collection, reducing ap-
preciably the quotas assessed against
coIlectiVeS and individual farms. It's
purpose is to encourage these groups to
dispose of their surplus production in
the open market
The order was signed by v M. Mo-
lotov, president of the Council of Peo-
pies Commissars. and Joseph Stain,
head Of the Communist party.
One of its effects will be to improve
the supplies of grain fer urban popu-
lations and apparently at the same time
to enlarge collectiyized area by pro-
viding new inducements for holdout
peasants to enter collective farms.
The new regulation, which increases
the collection assessments against State
farms IN order to balance the scales. ap-
plies to the 1892 crop 1t permits COL
lectlVes and Individual peasants to sell
their surplus in the open market after
January 81. 1888.
Although the decree does not mention
prices specifically, it is presumed that
fixed prices will be set for the sale Of
this surplus thus preventing specula-
tlon, and that most of such trading will
be done through established collective
markets.
