RED "FARMING" FAILURE TO PROVIDE NECESSARY FOOD SUPPLIES. - "Dismal failure" in supplying meat, rnilk and butter to the populace is admitted by the Soviet leader (M. Stalin) and the Commissar for Agriculture (M. Molotov), reports the Riga cofrespondent of The Times. This failure, they state in a deeree, is causing the "toiling masses," and also the Red Army, serious privations. The deeree witheringly exposes the conditions on the huge State qattle, pig, and chicken farms. The names of hundreds of delinquent directors and managers throughout the Soviet republic are pubiished. Thirty of those have been arrested and handed to the Red Tribunal for trial and exemplary punishment. The authorities have also dismlssed 1700 farm workers and stablemen in the Ukraine alone, owing to unexahipled neglect reducing the niajority of draught horses to unfitness when they were ne'eded for the spring ploughing. The deeree announces the division of cattle farms, which are suffering from maldistribution of fodder and unwieldiness, until limited to 8000 head and of dairy farms to from 400 to 600 cows.
