ECHOED SHCHERBITSKIY'S STATEMENT THAT PROCUREMENTS FOR

FAST ENOUGH. A NUMBER

FERTILIZER, FUEL, AND CAPITAL INVESTMENTS EFFICIENTLY,

MILLION RUBLES LESS THAN 1978. INCENTIVES IN THE FORM
OF TAX RELIEF ARE ALSO PLANNED FOR THE SO-CALLED
PRIVATE SECTOR. IN 1979, 41.6 PERCENT OF THE HOUSEHOLDS
WHICH MANAGE PRIVATE PLOTS (PRIUSADEBNIYE UCHASTKI) IN
THE COUNTRYSIDE WILL BE EXEMPT FROM AGRICULTURAL TAXES.
6. COMMENT: THE SILENCE OF SPECIFIC 1978 OUTPUT FIGURES
IN THE SHCHERBITSKIY AND ROZENKO REPORTS FOR SUNFLOWERS,
CORN (GRAIN), AND SUGAR BEETS CONTINUES TO INDICATE
BELOW-PLAN OUTPUT FOR THESE CROPS IN THE REPUBLIC.
A NEW AND INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT IS THE 1979 TAX
RELIEF PLANNED FOR THE "PRIVATE SECTOR" IN THE UKRAINE.
EARLIER, FIRST SECRETARY SHCHERBITSKIY DEMANDED MORE
ASSISTANCE TO THE "SUBSIDIARY FARMING SECTOR" IN THE
FORM OF MATERIAL SUPPLY (FEED, PIGLETS, ETC.) AND MORE
