harvesting and the existent problems. The heads of regional
administrations delivered information on harvesting carried out in

availability of combine harvesters and instructed to organize
the mowing in a way than none of the regions has problems with
agricultural techniques during the entire harvesting period.In the
southern part of the Republic: in Martouni and Hadrout regions it is
a hot harvesting time.
According to information of responsible officials of regional
administrations, an average wheat productivity forms 11.2 centner,
and in spring 13.4 centners. In comparison with the previous year,
the productivity has decreased because of damage caused by rodents
and locusts. According to the Government head's opinion the undesired
low crop productivity is more preconditioned by the work of land
cultivators and them supervising circles.

the agriculture as a strategic branch and noted that henceforth
strict measures will be undertaken towards those executing their
duties with carelessness.

will be no serious problems. Solvent mills are ready to accept the
crop and to pay not less than 105 drams for a kilogram of wheat.
