MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Private Farming Potent Factor in Soviet Agriculture Washington - 1VPI1 - Private farming is a potent factor in Russian agriculture, accord ing to data supplied by the Soviet Union to the United Nations' Food and Agricul ture Organization. A compilation of this data shows that the private sector still accounts for about 30 per cent of the total output of Soviet agriculture. H consists essentially of very small hold ings and involves practically the entire rural population. Comparative yields in the private sector are higher than on collective farms and on state farms. FAO said. An article in the September issue of the FAO monthly bul letin un agricultural eco nomics and statistics says the private sector not only "repre sents a compromise between the persistent individualism of the peasant and communist doctrine," but also corres ponds to the economic needs of the Soviet Union. Every collective and stale farm worker was entitled In a 1 The Medical Roundup (Rcniilfr and Triburtff Syndlrit?, fcmeuiui I nnsuiiaill in .MrtllCMi, Mavo Clinlr Kmcrllui Professor of Mrdlclrta Mayo I'linir. 19S2 NEEDED THE MONEY Mrs. Joan Pedersen, 19, who don ned a black wig, put a pistol in her purse and set out to rob a filling station, is shown in a Chicago police station after she was picked up 10 minutes after the holdup.

They are now breeding true, and they consti tute an inter esting variety of mice.' Some thing is wrong with their body chemis try, and hence their getting extremely fat is not due purely lo an Alvarcr increase in appctitite or a fail ure of the mechanism which in normal animals and man produces satiety and thus puts a temporary stop to eating. Now I read (Journal of Heredity) that a "fatty" ex tremely overweight rat has appeared, and is being bred as a variety. Again, it is found that in these animals some thing is congenitally wrong with the body's handling of of fats. As a result, the blood is so full of fat that the liquid portions looks milky. It is a very interesting fact that in spile of a blood cholesterol level four times that of ordi nary rats, the aorta (big art ery that comes out of the heart) as yet in animals a year old shows no disease. It is interesting to me that the "fatty" mice and rats, when kept on a restricted diet, still are fat in appearance. They are like most fat men and women, who seem lo be long to a fat breed of the human race. This hereditary peculiarity explains why so often it is very hard to change their build with diet. Another interesting finding is that the "fatty" female rats have a small, under-develoned womb and are always infer tile. When some women be come very stout, they, too, tend to become infertile however, I have known a few women weighing around 300 pounds whp bore one or more children. I think these observations on breeds of excessively fat mice and rats, with the ab normalities in their handling of fats and fat-like substance, can serve as good antidotes to the curious theories that psy choanalysts like to make up to explain why a fat person Voters Required To Read Constitution Phoenix -fl'PH- Charges that Negro and Mexican Ameri can voters were forced by challengers to read the Con stitution before casting their ballots were made at two pre cincts Tuesday, and a slate legislator charged Republicans with "using Mississippi tactics." John E. Burke, assistant registrar of voters, said speci fic claims came from south side precincts of Bcthune and Okemah. In both cases. Burke said, challengers identifying themselves as Republicans re quired voters to line up and read the Constitution before voting. George Erhaidl. county registrar of voters, termed t h e challengers "over zea lous." Burke said after offi cers and Asst. County Ally. Jay Greer visited the pre cincts, the persons making the challenges withdrew. There were no arrests. Woman's Body Still on Mountain Ml. Baker, W a s h . 'I'PI' Sheriff s officers and moun tain rescue crews were forced to give up attempts to recover the body nf Joan Hurkcll, 27, Toronto, Ont.. who died in a mountain - climbing accident on Ml. Baker. The Whatcom county sher iff's office reported heavy snowfalls and winds up to 70 miles an hour had forced res cue crews to turn back from the mountain. They said they would wait until the weather clears to recover the body. Miss Hurkcll had been climbing with a companion. Hans Jorritsma, when she fell Saturday. Jorritsma stayed with her Saturday night but decided to hike down the mountain for help on Sunday. Rescue parties were unable to reach the stranded and seri ously Injured woman.

Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. family plot of land, though legally he did not own it, to gether with a limited number of livestock and a horse. Some workers in industry had simi lar rights. The size of a pri vate plot was small, roughly one-quarter of a hectare, and the plot was subject lo land tax. A hectare is about 2.5 acres. The private family plols are scattered all through the Soviet Union. The private sector is particularly impor tant in Central Russian, By elorussia, the Baltic republics, in Western Ukraine, and in Georgia, FAO said. The private farms supplied the main requirements of the rural population, such as milk, meal, and vegetables. They produced little grain. FAO said one-half of the total area under potatoes in the Soviet Union was on fam ily plols and produced 64 per cent of the tolal polato crop. Manure Abundant FAO said yields on the pri vate plots were higher than on collective and stale farms because of the abundant sup ply in the private sector of organic manure from live stock, and the intensive labor put in by farmers. FAO said, more lhan one third of the cattle in Russia in 11)59 were privately owned. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 19R2 3 . Th situation u'9c i,il.r rn. t . . . . T T. .
