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

Fat Mice and Rati
Recently I was much inter
ested to see that a strain of
very fat mice appeared. 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.

Sheriff s officers and moun

to give up attempts to recover
the body nf Joan Hurkcll, 27,
Toronto, Ont.. who died in a
mountain - climbing accident

The Whatcom county sher

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.

Saturday. Jorritsma stayed
with her Saturday night but
decided to hike down the
mountain for help on Sunday.
Rescue parties were unable to

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.
