Indeed, its possibilities of developmentare practically limitless except for one fact."
The nation is in the midst of a far-reaching agricultural revolution and it is impossible to predict how that revolution will affect produc- tion.
From the basis of small individual households (over 25 millions of them) each working its small allot- ment of land usually with old. fashioned tools and methods, the farming of the vast Soviet Union 19 being transferred to a basis of large communal estates, working large áreas, and wherever possible with modern machinery,・・

timistic predictions can be cited, but they are always made for poli tical purposes and cannot stand a scientific test. The pessimistic forecasts, similarly, come chiefly from circles opposed to the whole idea and must be discounted for that reason.
For instance, His Excellency Sir Cecil Clementi, on his visit to the Hospital on the 25th day of March, 1929, wrote in the Visitors' Book, inter alia: "I hope very mach to see this work expanded and I trust that in time the older wards may be rebuilt upon up-to-date lincs." During the year. Justices of the Peace visited the Institution on twelve "occasions, and on no fewer than four they remarked that while everything else appen ed to be in excellent order, some of the wards seemed very crowded.
Need for Expansion, When the three Chinese repre sentatives on the Legislative Coun- eil visited the Hospital on January 18, 1929, they commented on the desirability of increasing the ac commodation for the Out-Patients awaiting Western treatment.as the number of people now seeking Buch treatment has outgrown the existing accommodation.

Without venturing a forecast, however, it is possible to summarize certain known indications.
The area under winter planting is 41 per cent. larger than last year. The winter crop is less important in Russia than the spring-sown erop. The autumn and early win- ter weather so far has not been entirely satisfactory. An insufi ciency of snow made the first frosts dangerous for the seeds. Never theless an average winter crop ‘is expected.
The official programme for the spring plantings calls for an 11 per cent. expansion of the total sown area, and a 20 per cent increase in the perenge under wheat. Back to Pre-Revolution Prosperity.
