The Kazakhstan ~.-ademy of Sciences is one of the newetst scientific acade-
mies in the Soviet Union. During its 32 -years of existents, it has become one
of the USSR's largest scientific institutes. It has 2,000 members, 368 of whom
already have doci;orates or are candidates for scientific degrees.
The development of-the~Kazakhstan Acadsmy-during 1949 was varied and exten-
sive. Over 560 scientific snb~ects were-atudied~at-the-academy; and~many of
them are now being practically spplied. The academy is also-doing much work in
studying and developing effective methods of utilization of -land,?vegetatioe
and animal resources of the repnblic.~ Attempts-Have-been-made to -apply the agro-
biological theory of Dokuchayev-Williams-Mi~chnrin-Lysenko under conditions pecul-
iar to Kazakhstan. Aa s result of this work, a vegetation map of agricultural
oblasts of Kazakhstan was drawn up.
The discovery of a new variety of drought-resistant wheat produced a good

ing into southern Kazakhstan. Measures have also been taken to introduce effec-
During 1949,, the prolonged effort to raise tb.e valuable "Kazakh Arkharo-
merinos" sheep hybrid was successfully terminated. This new sheep variety is
a hybrid of wild mountain sheep and merino sheep. Its wool is of high quality
and the sheep do not require much care.
