MOSCOW (AP)-Cool, wet weather
has delayed spring planting of Russian
wheat, raising prospects of a poor har-
vest and further purchases from the
non-communist world, Western
agriculture experts said yesterday.
In a country where summers are
short, the unusually late planting
means the Soviets are running "an in-
creased risk" that winter will set in
before summer wheat is ripe, the ex-
perts noted.
"THEY COULD be in real trouble,"
said a Western diplomat who has
analyzed the Russian wheat situation
over several years.
Summer wheat accounts for about
two-thirds of the Soviet crop, with the
rest coming as winter. wheat-which
apparently is in "generally good"
shape this year, according to early
reports.
The experts ,said it is too early to
forecast how the total Soviet crop will
turn out for 1978. A very hot summer,
for example, could bring the wheat to
maturity in time despite the late plan-
ting.
BUT A POOR harvest this year, they
said, could create a situation like that in
1972, when surprisingly large Soviet
purchases of wheat and corn from the

West helped send world prices soaring.
Since then, the United States has taken
steps to moderate any potential price
spiral due to Russian buying.
U.S. officials here said Ameican
grain stocks should be sufficient to
meet any large Soviet demand in 1978.
Canada, Australia and Argentina also
sell wheat to the Russians.
American officials will conduct an in-
spection later this month of the winter
wheat crop ready for harvest in the
Ukraine and the north Caucasus. These
area produce about 10 percent of all
Soviet wheat.
THE AMERICANS are not allowed to
view wheat growing in other, major
producing areas: the Chernozem zone
in central Russia, the Volga Valley,
western Siberia, and the so-called
virgin lands of northeast Kazakhstan
and the southern Ural region.
Thus, the U.S. and other Western ex-
perts often have problems with their
overall estimates.
In 1977, for example, the U.S.
Agriculture Department estimated the
Soviet crop at between 215 million and
240 million tons. The former figure is
considered a good harvest. But the crop
came in at 194 million tons.

"Hooray for Jill Clayburghl She makes
the jump to star in this marvelous film."

THE KID
(Charlie Chaplin,1921) 7 & 10:20-MLB4
Chaplin's first feature is a milestone in screen comedy! Charlie finds an
abandoned baby (Jackie Coogan) and unofficially adopts him as his own.
"A picture with a smile and perhaps a tear." Plus Short: THE IDLE CLASS
(1921), an unusual Chaplin short. Charlie plays a dual role-as his familiar
tramp and as a millionaire.
THE CIRCUS
(Charlie Chaplin, 1928) 8:40 ONLY-MLB 4
Possibly Chaplin's funniest film includes some of the tramp's finest sustained
moments of high comedy. Plus Short: A DAY'S PLEASURE (1919). One of
Chaplin's rarest short films shows just what Charlie could do with such typicaf
silent comedy props as the Model T Ford and a folding deck chair.
TOMORROW: "YOUNGRANKENSTEIN"
