however, is not only in the growth of
their cultivated areas and produc-
ton; it is also reflected in the growth
of their tractor supply, in the
growth of their INFLAMMATION. I'm
doubtedly, in this respect our Sow
kozes and Kolhozes advanced far
ahead, from $4,000 tractors repre-
senting $4,000 H. P. in 1929 to
2,041,O 900 tractors representing
100000 HIP. in 1888. Not at all
a small power. 1t is capable of re-
moving all and sundry roots of CAPT
talism in the countryside. A power
double the number of tractors of
which Lenin spoke in his time as Of
distant perspective. The number
of agriculture machines in machine
tractor stations anc sovkozes has
also grown tremendously.
Of no small significance for the
advance of agriculture was also the
creation of political departments in
the machine tractor stations and
sovkozes and the supply of agricul-
ture machines with qualified workers
during the period under report. The
Central Committee Of the Party sent
to villages in order to strengthen
forces in agriculture more than 29,-
900 Communists. The same must be
said regarding supplying kolhozes
and sovhozes with new engineering
technical and agronomic forces dur
ing the period under report. More
than Ill, 900 workers in this group
were sent into agriculture.
More than 100000 tractor-com-
bine operators and drivers were
trained during the period under re-
port and sent through the organiZa-
lions of the Peoples Commissariat
for Agriculture. The State has done
everything possible in order to light
en- the work of organizations Of the
peoples commissariat for agricul-
ture and the peoples commissariat
in the sovhozes and in managing kol-
hoze and sovkoze construction.
Unfortunately, it cannot be said
that these possibilities have been
properly utilized by these organiza-
tons"
Pointing out most important short
comings in the work OF these organ
izations, Comrade Stain dwelt In
detail on a series of problems OF agri-
cultural production, including prob
lens OF preserving and repairing
tractors and machines, introducing
correct crop rotation and improving
seed selection, introducing fertilizer
fighting droughts in the Volga region
ETC., and also again on the question
Of stock breeding.
Unfortunately, our agricultural or
CARNATIONS do not raise alarm in
connection with the difficult situation
in stock breeding. On the contrary,
they try to gloss over the problem,
which is absolutely impermissible for
Bolsheyiks. The whole Party should
take in hand the cause OF stock
breeding, keeping in view that this
is problem OF primary Importance
| just as the already successfully solved
problem of grain was only yesterday.
There is no need to prove that the
Soviet people, who have overcome not
only one obstacle on their way toward
their goal viii lsucceed In overcom-
ing this obstacle as well. Thunder

Comrade Stain further dwelt on
the question of improving the mate
rial conditions and culture Of the toll
ing masses as a result of the develop
ment of our industry and agriculture
He said: I'VE have: % a mighty ad-
vance III production both in the
sphere OF industry, as well as the
sphere of basic branches of agricul-
ture; co the final victory, on the
basis OF this advance, Of the socialist
system of economy over the capitalist
system, both in industry, as well as
agriculture, turning the socialist sys-
tenn into the only system of the whole
national economy, crowding out the
capitalist elements from all spheres
OF national economy; 90 the final
parting of the tremendous majority
of individual peasants from small
scale, individual farming, consolida-
ton into collective farms on the basis
OF collective labor, and collective
ownership Of the means Of produc-
ton, the complete victory of collective
farming over small-scale individual
farming; a. the growing process of
the further extension of kolkhozes at
the expense OF the individual peasant
holdings, the number of which is thus
