They regarded this As a de feat for Khrushchev who pushed wheat Farmers into the Virgin lands a decade ago against warnings from Many soviet agricultural experts and Strong political opposition. This year however the crop is Good and More important prospects an for sufficient harvests Over Long period to justify the efforts though yields probably never Mil be More than one third of those in the Best soviet wheat  groups of foreign agricultural experts who visited the Virgin lands recently have concluded that improved meth ods of cultivation being introduced there will keep them introduction. Khrushchev warned when the drive to the Virgin lands began that the arid area would have its ups and Downs but he said the average yield would be worthwhile for a country that badly needs More Grain. Until 1958 the yields went up and it now looks As if five Lea years have ended.

This crop la part of a general the government bought  tons from soviet farm ers in 1112 and this year its target is 17 million. This leads some observers to suspect that an announced higher total might be politically necessary to justify the greater extractions from the Farmers even i the True figure is about 115 or 120 million ions. The Virgin lands will yield12.5 million tons Khrushchev has said. One team of Ameri can experts who recently toured them suggested this could be Little High but the opinion of the group and others is Thattie area has not been Farmed out As some observers had thought.

Instead of Moldboard plow ing turning the soil Over exposing it to wind erosion stubble mulch blowing under cuts the roots of the harvested stubble. This stirs up the soil for the next planting with seed drills but leaves stubble to hold the Earth and catch Winter Snow. Every bit of moisture must be held before the crop comes in.
