cultural growth during the postwar period. All sovkhozes, kolkhozes, MTS, and
individual workers who have successfully conrleced their 19+9 and 1950 plans, may
participate in the exposition. Participants will be awarded gold and silver me-
dals. Leading kolkhozes, sovkhozes, and MTS will exhibit specimens from the 1950

cause of lack of knowledge about their role in this work, are not making satis-
factory progress.

ting work done on the-Stalin Five-Year Plan, the Three-Year Plan for developing

hoz and sovkhoz operations. For this, fields with crop rotation, Michurian gar-
