MILK, MEA T PRODUCTION DOWN
Soviet food situation gloomy

MOSCOW (AP) - Soviet citizens
may have to rely on cabbage, bread,
and potatoes to keep their stomachs full
this winter.
Figures released yesterday showed
milk production down four per cent.And
meat production down one per cent
during the first six months of 1980, and
newspaper accounts said foul weather
was playing havoc with the nation's
vegetable crops.
IN SOME AREAS, vegetable crops
"are lying 'under water" following
heavy rains, the newspaper Leninist
Banner said.
Some fresh fruits and vegetables are
available now in the private farmers'
markets in Moscow, but they are nearly
twice as expensive as they were this
time last year.
The weather, the historic foe of Soviet
agriculture, has not helped a bit.
THERE WAS A late spring in most
areas. Important fruit-growing regions
in the southern republics were ravaged
by a surprise heavy frost and even
snow. And the western, or European,
part of the Soviet Union is suffering a
cold rainy summer.
Pointing to the problems was an
editorial yesterday in the Communist
Daily

Party newspaper Pravda that com-
plained about the quality of the fruit
and vegetable crops now ripening. It
mentioned a state farm in the southern
republic of Azerbaijan that delivered a
crop of fresh cabbage of which 23 per
cent was spoiled by the time it got to
market.
"Time is pressing, and all in-
stallations (for storage) should be built,

and ready for the harvest," Pravda
warned. "One should not permit the
crop to spoil, to perish."
REPORTS CONTINUE filtering in to
Moscow of major population centers in
the provinces that are virtually out of'
meat and milk and butter. People with
friends or relatives in Moscow have
come to rely on food parcels - "some
susagues" - sent htrain

The Economic Gazette, a Soviet
weekly, said the output of milk on all
Soviet farms was down so far this year
by 1.473 million metric tons, pork
production down 932,000 head, and that
there were 2.38 million fewer. head of
sheep and lambs.
The grain crop is said to be in
generally good shape.
