ev Admits Soviet Agriculture in Khrushch Premier Urges 'Utmost Effort' Fcr Solution MOSCOW UPI (-Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, admit ting that bad weather has put Soviet agricultural production in a "rather difficult position," today continued his trouble shooting tour of the state-run farms. No figures have been re leased on the size of this year's wheat harvest, but the Soviet purchase of 7 million tons of wheat from Canada indicates it will be at least that much short of the 147 million tons harvested last year. Congressional sources in Washington said the Soviets arc interested in buying an addi tional 3 million tons of Ameri can wheat. Urged Utmost Efforts Khrushchev, who has given a great deal of advice and countless directives to the far mers and officials on the col lective and state farms, urged them again Monday to make the "utmost efforts" to make lip for the poor harvest. The main way to do this, he said, was for Russia to manu facture and the farmers to use as much chemical fertilizer as the United States does. Soviet production "must reach 35 mil lion tons a year by IMS, he said, about the same as U.S. produc tion now, and 100 million tons by 1!I70. Khrushchev, whose remarks (o peasants in the Ukrainian town of Novaya Kahkovka were published in Monday's Izvestia, said irrigation also had high priority. He called for mors ir rigation systems and the train ing of specialists in the field. In Hart Position "This year weather condi tions were unfavorable and we found ourselves in a rather dif ficult position, and must draw I h e necessary conclusions," Khrushchev said. He called for measures "to ftafeguard us against any rventualities." As one of these measures, he urged an increase of grain production in the Hun gary Steppes, where there are large-scale irrigation projects.
