This report is one of a aeries drawn from the newspaper Sovkhoznaya
Gazete.. These reports are customarily entitled "US.4R Weather and Crop Reports."
However, since the issues included in this report contained no information
concerning crops as such, the title of this report has been modified accord-
ingly. There is no reason to assume that the lack. of crop information in these
particular issues is the result of a change in policy; rather, it is probably
due to lack of activity on the fields customary at this season of the year_7
