Operation OfCoNectiue Farms
In Russia Studied By Dean

Modern tractors and combines
are found on some of the collective
farms and where used contribute
much to the saving of labor. How
ever, the impression was gained Ill
travelling through large section
of the wheat territory that less
than one-fourth of the grain is
harvested with modern machinery.
The weed and erosion problems
are serious and wild morning glory
is in full possession of huge areas
of land in the best grain country
of southern Russian and Ukraine.
1t is the considered opinion of
those who are best informed about
the situation that the rapid expan-
sion in recent years of the indus
trial plant of Russia has been made
largely at the expense of Russian
agriculture, and that much of the
income from the land has been
used to pay for foreign machinery,

In an address before the general
session of the Northwest Scientific
association on the collectives of
Russia, in which he reviewed the
history of the communist land
policy and explained how collective
farms are operated today, Edward
G.. johnson, dean of agriculture at
the State College of Washington,
said that the ruthless extermina.
ton of the best farmers of Soviet
Russia in the process of COLLECTIVE
izing the farms is a story of cruel
ty, brutality and horror which for
ever will darken the pages of COM
munist history.
Close observers have estimated
that over a million farm families,
or about 100000 people were up
rooted, loaded into cars, their be-
lodgings left behind, sent to the
lumber regions of the north and
east, placed in convict labor camps
or scattered throughout the coun-
try wherever labor was needed,
Dean johnson said. Others have
estimated that from two to eight
million persons persisted in the
drive against the Kulaks and in the
famine which followed Today more
than 100000 peasant households
and 1876 per cent of the land OF
Russia are in collectives. OF the
remainder, 81 per cent are in state
farms and the rest individually
owned.
The organization of Russian ag-
riculture is designed to insure state
control of all lands. While collec,
tives are supposed to be handled
by the farmers themselves through
board of directors elected by them
and manager responsible to this
board, political agents directly APP
pointed by and responsible to the
government are attached to the
tractor stations which furnish what
ever machinery is used on the
farms, and to the collective farms.
Ultimate authority in all matters
rests in these agents and not in
the managers or the farmers them
selves.
Taxes Take One-Half
Almost one-half of the produc-
ton of each farm goes to the gov
eminent in taxes payments to ma
chine tractor stations. government
grain procurements and reserves
for seed. feed and other purposes
so that the share of each family
IN the collective's income is very
small and provides only for very
low standard of living.

Encouraging to many who have more or less
