SURVEY OF AGRICULTURAL DATA FOR TILE USSR SEPTEMBER 1953
[Comment: This report presents information, from September 1953
Soviet newspapers and periodicals, on agriculture in the USSR as
a whole and in 15 union republics. Progress and statistical data are
given on the following: sown area; crops; mechanization; fertili-
?rtion; numbers of kolkhozes, sovkhozes, and MTS; and agricultural
Feather service stations.

Grain production in the USSR expanded considerably during the postwar pe-
rioC... The area devoted to winter and spring wheat, for example, increased 8.1
million hectares as compared with the prewar period.(1)
Production of raw cotton in the USSR rose from 825,000 metric tons in
1929 to 3,770,000 metric tons in 1952.(2)
In 1953, only 318,000 hectares of potatoes were planted by the checkrow
,aethod in kolkhozes and sovkhozes of the USSR; this area was less than 10 per-
cent of the total area planted to potatoes.(3)
The 19th Party Congress posed the task of increasing production of vege-
tables, potatoes, and animal products in the suburban zones of Moscow and
Leningrad; TJral, Donbass, and Kuzbass cities; and other industrial centers of
the country.
The subsidiary agricultural enterprises of industrial plants play an
important role in solving this task. They represent an important source of
supplementary food for workers and employees. Figures prove this. For example,
in 1952, 26 percent of the mill:, 34.9 percent of the potatoes, and 54 percent
of the vegetables delivered to the dining establishments and stores of enter-
prises of the Ministry of Electric Power Stations and Electrical Industry USSR

were produced by subsidiary agricultural enterprises. Similarly, subsidiary
agricultural enterprises produced about 65 percent of the potatoes and vegetables
delivered to trade organizations of enterprises of the metallurgical industry
in Dnepropetrovskaya Oblast. A single subsidiary enterprise, (the Sovkhoz?]
imeni 1 May, provided for the workers of the Tuymazaneft' (Tuymaza Petroleum)
Trust 500 metric tons of potatoes, 160 metric tons of vegetables, more than
100 metric tons of meat, and 118 metric tons of milk.(4)
The fact that USSR agriculture was better equipped with machinery in 1953
than in 1952 permitted faster harvesting. By 8 September, 6.4 million more
hectares of grain and legume crops had been reaped in the USSR than by the same
date in 1952.(5)
As of September 1953, there were in the USSR 94,000 kolkhozes, almost
9,000 MTS, anu more than 4,700 sovkhozes.(l)
Following is the full text of an article entitled "Bacterial Fertilizers"
by Ye. Korotkikh, Scientific Worker, All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences
imeni V. I. Lenin:
The soil is inhabited by billions of minute living creatures called
microorganisms. They are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The microbes multiply rapidly and in great numbers. Scientists estimate that
up to a half ton of bacteria live in one hectare of soil of low fertility,
while there are up to tens of tons of bacteria in a hectare of soil of high
fertility.
Microorganisms play an important role in the life of plants. They
aid plants to assimilate food and convert organic substances such as roots and
dead plants into humus. However, not all bacteria are helpful to plants in
obtaining food; on the contrary, there are microbes which are detrimental in
this respect. In order to increase the number of useful bacteria, man must
create favorable conditions for their development, for example, by making it
possible for air to get into the soil. It is also possible for man to take
direct action to increase many times the number of useful bacteria in the soil
by breeding them and introducing them into the soil. Microorganisms bred arti-
ficially are called bacterial fertilizers.
The effect and methods of application of these fertilizers are entirely
different from those of ordinary fertilizers. The bacteria themselves are not
fertilizers; they merely convert plant and animal residues into food for plants
and provide them with greater amounts of nutritive elements.
The most common form of bacterial fertilizer is "nitragin." This
form is composed of artificially bred bacteria, which in nature live in nodules
on the roots of such legumes as clover, alfalfa, lupine, and others. However,
there are microorganisms for each plant; therefore, lupine nitragin, for example,
must not be applied to a clover field or clover nitragin to a lupine field.
Artificially produced bacteria are put up in half-liter size bottles
and distributed to local offices of the Main Administration of Material-
Technical Supply for distribution in turn to sovkhozes and kolkhozes.
ftitragin is introduced into the soil with the seed. First, the contents
of a bottle is poured into a clean vessel and mixed with water. 'ibis solution
is stirred periodically and then poured evenly over the seed. The treated seed
is sown on the same day that the solution has been applied. Delay in sowing
the seed sharply curtails the effect of the bacteria. It is best to sow the
seed in moist soil.

Nitragin can be prepared in kolkhozes and sovkhozes. For this purpose,
a plot 2-3 meters square with well developed plants is selected in an alfalfa,
a clover, or a lupine field. Before the plants flower, they are dug up. The
roots with rose-colored nodules are washed an d dried . The nodules
are cut off, pulverized, and mixed with water. The resultant solution is
sprinkled over the seed.
Another bacterial fertilizer is "azotobakterin." It is prepared from
soil humus, peat, or agar-agar. Agar-agar, which is obtained from seaweeds, is
a gelatinous substance in which bacteria live well and multiply rapidly.
Azotobakterin is applied to grain, fodder, and industrial crops in
doses of 3 kilograms per hectare, but to potatoes in doses of 6 kilograms per
hectas. It is also introduced into the soil with the seed. Treatment of the
seed is performed on the day of sowing or planting inside buildings, so that
the treated seed is protected from the direct rays on the sun. Azotobakterin
is applied to seeds previously treated with a fungicide only after they have
dried and have been exposed to the air. Since azotobakterin is very sensitive
to soil acidity, it should be applied to neutral or slightly acid soils.
In recent years, a new bacterial fertilizer called "fosfnrobakterin"
has been used. It considerably improves the supply for plants of phosphorus
in the soil. 4
A preparation called "AMB" is widely used in the following manner on
the podsolic soils of Leningradskaya, Kirovskaya, Molotovskaya, and other oblasts
where there are many peat bogs. A ton of ordinary peat and one kilogram of peat
which had previously been treated with AMB are carefully mixed together. The
peat treated with AMB should have been stored in a building in which the tem-
perature did not rise above 25 degrees centigrade and should have been stirred
and moistened once or twice weekly. The mixture is applied to the soil prior
to sowing or planting in doses of not less than 250 kilograms per hectare.
Sowing of winter grain crops is in progress. It is highly important
that, prior to sowing, the seed be treated with bacterial fertilizers. Wide
application of bacterial fertilizers is a new method of raising the yield of
agricultural crops.(6)

Estonian SSR
In some rayons of the republic, much grain and many industrial crops
were still standing in the fields as of 24 September. It is necessary to
reap these crops quickly so as to prevent losses to the harvest.(13)
Latvian SSR
Almost 130,000 more hectares of.grain crops had been harvested in the repub-
lic by 20 September than by the same date in 1952.
As of 20 September, the potato harvest was going badly. Plowing of win-
ter fallow was also proceeding very slowly.(14)
Although plowing of winter fallow in kolkhozes of the republic had made
somewhat better progress by 25 September than by the same date 1952, neverthe-
less progress was completely unsatisfactory. During the period 21-25 September,
the 1953 plan was fulfilled by only an additional 2 percent or only one sixth
of the planned increment.(15)

At present, there are 391 MTS in the Belorussian SSR, including three
meadow-improvement stations. In 1953, ten MTS were organized. In 1954, it is
planned to organize 12 new MTS.
In 1953, MTS of the republic received 1,300 combines; 4,500 plows; hundreds
of threshing machines, grain driers, and grain-cleaning machines; and much other
equipment. At present, the number of combines and other agricultural machines
is almost five times as great as in 1940.(20)
By 11 September, digging of sugar beets was in full swing in kolkhozes
and sovkhozes of the republic. In many kolkhozes, the yield was 300-400 or
more quintals per hectare, the average weight of the beets was twice es great
as in 1952, and their sugar content was considerably greater.(21)
Ukrainian SSR
On 1 September, an agricultural weather service point began operations in
the Metallist Sovkhoz, located in Aleksandrovskiy Rayon, Voroshilovgradskaya
Oblast. Its task is to make observations on the following: amounts of pre-
cipitation which have fallen, amounts of moisture in the soil at various depths,
development progress of winter grain crops, and other aspects of agriculture
which promote its development.
Altogether, there are now 48 such agricultural weather service points in
scvkhozes, kolkhozes, and MTS of the oblast.(22) 14.
At present, there are 1,347 MTS and specialized stations in the Ukrainian

Upon completion of the grain harvest in Nikolayevskaya Oblast, combine
operators of the oblast left for other parts of the country to all in the har-
vest. By 3 September, 100 operators were working on the fields of Vinnitskaya
Oblast and 200 had departed for Chitinskaya Oblast.(31)
Sovkhozes of the republic had sown the first 100,000 hectares of winter
wheat and rye by 1 September. Quality of the work and rate of progress were
considerably better than in 1952.
In sovkhozes of Voroshilovgradskaya Oblast, average performance per sowing
unit was considerably higher than planned. Many operators of sowing units were
sowing 120-130 hectares per shift as compared with the norm of 55-80 hectares.
More than 60 percent of the wheat was being sown by the close-row and crisscross
methods. Bacterial fertilizers were being applied on a wide scale for the
first time.
Winter crops had been to sprout in some sovkhozes of Voroshilovgradskaya,
Kiyevskaya, Zhitomirskaya, and Sumskaya oblasts.(32)
Sovkhozes of the republic were sowing winter grain crops considerably
faster in 1953 than in 1952. During the period 1-5 September, they sowed
80,000 hectares, twice as many as during the preceding 5-day period. As of
5 September, they had sown one third of the area to be devoted to winter grain
crops.
Sovkhozes of Chernigovskaya, Sumskaya, Kiyevskaya, and Zhitomirskaya
oblasts had finished sowing wheat. Sowing was carried out mostly by the criss-
cross and close-row methods.(33) Sovkhozes of these oblasts had finished sow-
ing all winter grain crops by 10 September. Those of Voroshilovgradskaya,
Khar kovskaya, and Ternopol'skaya oblasts were completing sowing.
Twelve percent more winter wheat was sown in sovkhozes of Kiyevskaya
Oblast than in 1952.(34)
Simultaneously with the sugar beet harvest, digging of potatoes was in
full swing in kolkhozes of Volynskaya Oblast by 10 September. The potato crop
was better than in 1952; on the average, the yield was 20-30 quintals higher
per hectare.(35)
Kolkhozes of Rovenskaya Oblast had fulfilled the 1953 plan for delivery
of vegetables to the state by 112.9 percent on 1 September; fulfillment of
the plan was ahead of schedule. The plan for delivery of cucumbers had
ueen fulfilled 122.4 percent as of 1 September.(36)
The following table shows percentage fulfillment of the 1953 plan for

Moldavian SSR
In 1952, gross production of agricultural crops in kolkhozes of the repub-
lic was almost 1.5 times as great as in 1950; 2.2 times as much grain was deliv-
ered to the state as in 1949.
In 1952, the state plan for wheat yield was fulfilled in only one half of
the rayons of the republic and the plan for maize yield in only seven rayons.
The situation in regard to fulfillment of yield plans was no better in many
rayons in 1953.
The area sown to sugar beets in the republic was five times as great in
1953 as it was at the beginning of the Fifth Five-Year Plan-(37)
Georgian SSR
Grain growing is in a neglected state in the republic. Kolkhozes of the
republic year after year fail to fulfill the plan for increase in yields of
grain crops. In the last 3 years, the highest average grain crop yield has
been 9.8 quintals per hectare as compared with 15 quintals planned.(38)
The sunflower harvest was in full swing in the republic by 9 September.
The crop was generally good. The average yield of seeds per hectare was 3
quintals higher than planned. The harvest was nearing completion in most
kolkhozes of Tsiteltskaroyskiy and Signakhskiy rayons, where almost one half
of the republic's sunflower production is concentrated. In these rayons, the
VNIIMK variety was yielding 4-5 more quintals per hectare than planned-09)
By 1953, as compared with 1940, the number of MIS in the republic had
doubled and the number of tractors had increased almost 100 percent. The
number of combines had increased from 510 in 1950 to 1,115 in 1953?(40)
Armenian SSR
At present, there are 58 MTS and NGhS in the republic. The capacity of
the tractor park is now 1.5 times as great as at this time in 1951 and 2.5
times as great as in 1940.(41)
The following table shows percentage fulfillment of various 1953 plans
in kolkhozes of the republic:

In 1952, the plan for mechanical picking of cotton in kolkhozes of the
republic was fulfilled 50 percent in hectares, but the amount of cotton harvested
by machine was less than 10 percent of the quantity planned.

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/09/02: CIA-RDP80-00809A000700170193-8
In 1953, more than 160 SKhM-48 and SKhM-48-M pickers will ne in operation
on the cotton plantations of the republic; they are to harvest 8,000 hectares,
of which 3,000 hectares are to be harvested repeatedly. Seventy extracting and
cleaning machines will be used to process unopened bolls.
Fcr mechanical picking, timely chemical defoliation is very important.
But the Main Administration of Material-Technical Supply of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Procurement, Armenian CSR, did not assure its receiving the
needed quantities of chemicals and their distribution to kolkhozes in time. In
addition, the Administration of Agricultural Propaganda had not issued instruc-
tions for this work even by the end of September. Consequently, MTS began defoli-
ation work after long delays; by the end of September, the plan had been fulfilled
only 40 percent.(45)
Azerbaydzhan SSR
As of 10 September, the 1953 plan for cotton procurement had been fulfilled
20.46 percent in the republic as a whole.(46)
