not receive enough moisture and were not up to the plan.
The number of livestock at the end of the third quarter 1950 was 98 per-
cent of the number planned for the end of the year. This indicates a rise
of 5 percent over the same period of the previous year. The year-end planned
number of cows was 99 percent achieved at the end of the third quarter, that
of pigs 119 percent, and that of sows 89 percent. This-represents an increase
of 6 percent in the number of cows over the third quarter 1949.
The milk-production plan was fulfilled'by 115 percent, and milk producti-
vity per cow rose by 11 percent over 1949. Nevertheless, the milk-delivery plan
was not fulfilled.

per hen increased by one percent over 19.49.

competitions, and 2,400 organized mass deliveries of grain.- The boundaries be-
tween fields were plowed up on 2,730 cooperatives.
