Dnlted Press Association—B? Electric T«I«« graph—Copyright. (Received 20th Dec, 10.30 a.m.); NEW YORK, 19th Dec. ' "Within the next few years Russia will be by large odds the greatest wheat producer in the world." This news was brought back from Russia by Mr. Tom Campbell, who operates in Montana the largest wheat farm in the world, and who has twice visited Russia upon the invitation of the Soviet to show -them the latest! machinery and farming methods. "I assure you that the farming situation there has undergone an amazing change. State farms, for instance, represent undertakings that are simply, staggering and stupendous. Fourteen million peasant households have enrolled as co-operatives under the Soviet invitation, and by 20th February this year 206 million acres, or 52 per cent, of the arable land of the Soviet Union, will have signed up. Russia contains at least 250 mil* lion acres of as good wheat land a3 there is on earth, besides sther mil« lions of acres suitable for cotton, fruit, and vegetables.' "Communism is digging its own grave. In a dozen years there won'li be any Communism, but with unlimited man-power, unlimited land and resources inexhaustible, Russia will develop into a commercial power of the first magnitude."
