2. Special regional departments for agricultural matters (Rayonn~
Otdely Sel~skogo Khozyaystva) existed within the framework of
the Rayispolkomi throughout the U~:SR until 1955, when their
functions regional agricultural planning, supervision of plan
execution and responsibility for compulsory deliveries) were
transferred to the machine and tractor stations (MTS). By
early 1957, however, it had become evident that the MTS could
not cope with such a range of activities, and consequently it
was planned to revive the regional departments for agricultural
matters. The Lithuanian S:R had already taken the first step
towards such a reorganization by establishing "expert cells"
within the framework of regional planning committees (P.ayon~
~, 'Thee taus
Komitety Planovan~Ya)~ x~ assist the Rayispolkcani in agri-
r
cultural matters.
The Lithuanian SSR is divided into 87 rayons with approximately
130 MTS. The Ministry of Agriculture controls and supervises II,,~ ,,
these regions and TITS through five terr'torial inspectorates C~i.~~
