ports have been filtering in for

tMr. MatSkevich's report in
dicates that Soviet agriculture
is not keeping pace with Soviet
scientific programs, despite
heavy emphasis on improved
farm methods. For the Soviet
agriculture program to be sue
cessful. production would have
to keep pace with expanding

sumner demand. not merely
match previous years.
On the brighter side, Mr.
Matskevich claimed q 20 pei
