THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
SOURCE Newspapers, periodicals, and encyclopedia as indicated.
~omment: The folloxing report is a collation of available
da~a concerning certain aspects of the poatvar conduct of agri-
culture in Kazakh SSR. The report ie divided into three parts:
ministerial. organization, sown areas, and livestock ntmtbers.
The propose of thin report is to gire s concrete 111nstration
of the intelligence potential o: the Soviet proviacisl press in
the Pield of egric~ilture when followed over a period of years.
The scope of the report has beer. limited to those aspects of the
general subject moat frequently treated in this type of source.
It will be seen that in many uses in carts Txo and Three of
the report, the application of simple mathesatics wi~l produce
tables of hard figures for sown areas rind livestock numbers iJ
the postwar period. While it i_ not the purpose of the report to
assess the v~lidi.ty of Soviet agricultural statistics, the tables
which can be drawn from the data listed appear to be relatively
consistent, xiih some exceptions which car. be explained by hidden
hisses.
It shoul3 be noted that where statistics for the area sown to
a given crop in a given year or for a given type of livestock for
a given year may be computed Prom the data listed for republic,
kolkhozes,and sovkhezea, the tctal of the latter two need not equal
the figure for the forcer. This is because some land in the republic
is still sown by independent peasants, and a considerable portion of
the livestock is still is private hands.
