RUSSIAN AGRICULTURE
IMPROVES OVER 1920
ASSERTS SOVIET ENVOY

Above Normal.

Berlin June Mi— M. Ouiniky Ruv
•iaa Soviet commiMar of agriculture and
member of the people*! committee who
is in Berlin told me tbnt the Russian
crop situation this year is far better
than it sea in 1920 as the crops all
around will average far above the nor-
mal while a year apo they were far be-
low tbs average. The commissar was
very optimistic claiming that the Soviet
governinent felt safer than it ever did
before as the masses were contented
sod more tolerant towards the new con-
ditiona.
• Because of the increase in the area
sown” said the commissar "the crops
will average above the normal even if
there is little rain in June and July. If
the rains are plentiful in these months
the crops will be way above the nor-
mal. Another of the avoidable elements
this year is the fact that this year the
middle and northern departments in
which Moscow and Petrograd are situat-
ed are the ones in which all the avail-
able space is cultivated and the crop
prospects are the best This yesr there-
fore t ran .port ation will not enter into
the problem of supplying the cities with
food as it is being produced practically
at the city doors while last year it ban
to be brought hundreds of miles from the
south snd southwest and Siberia be-
cause the crops in the middle and north-
ern provinces proved a total failure.
Only in Samara Saratov Simbrisk and
the Tartar republic on the Volga are
the crops poor this yesr.
-The hsy crop too if not normsl Is
far better than last year’s which was
almost a total failure. Theu cattie were
slaughtered became of the great scarcity
of hay: as the result of the shortage
one could buy a horse for a dosen
boxes of matches in the small towns a
’ "Now the market price of cattle and
horses is far above the normal. The
Soviet government proposes to take few
or no cattle awsy from the peasants by
way of taxes in order to feed the city
populations but to give the livestock of
the country a chance to increase in
number after seven years of war and
bad crops."
M. (taslnsky gave me in dcta.l bis
plans for increasing Russia s agrcul-
turrl production and improving the con-
dition of the peasant along co-operative
lines. He believes that there will be
much progress in Russ an agriculture
witbin the next few years.

REDUCED RATES ASKED
Highway Department Seeks SO Per Cent
Cut in Road Material Transportation.
Austin Tex- June 10c—An applies-
cation for reduction of 30 per cent in
transportation charge on road building
material by Texas raikoads Was heard
before T. B. Healey of the interstate
commerce commiKaion. The application
was presented by the state highway
department and carries the support of
several couuties mun'cipaiilics and the
Texas County Judge* association.
The atate Is seeking a reduction in
rates on the following grounds:
Three hundred thousand cars of road
material are transported by Texas iall-
roads annually and because of the pres-
ent high rate it is impossible to make
shipment although road building mate-
rial ia sorely needed in acvcral parts
of the state.
Many counties have issued road bonds
based on a certr.ln amount which is
inadequate because of the present high
transportation rate.
The application will be transmitted
to the interstate commerce commiasion
for a decision.
Assistant Attorney General Wallace
Hawkins represented the applicants at
the hearing.
