You don't have to go to Russia
to know it has a farm problem,
so long as farming is done out

ernment.
Well, that’s the way the farmers
have been farming, but it turns
out most of them don't have room
for much grain storage, so nat-
nrally they put their own grain
in what barns or sheds they have,
and carefully pile the govern-
ment’s* share out in the open. And
just when it came time for the
government trucks to pick up the
grain, it started raining and the
roads over there got muddy, since
any dictator knows It’s more im-
portant to conquer space than build
roads, and the grain got rained
on, and if you don’t know what
that does to grain, turn the faw.

Dear editar:
I know it's customary these
days to believe the Russians can
do anything, they just press a but-
ton and order up a satellite, they
can pause between two sips of
vodka and send off a guided
missile so accurate it could knock
the braces off the corner post in
any corner of my pasture out
here, if they hadn’t already fallen
off on their own before it got here,
etc., but while I never like to dis-
count the power of the other fel-
low, still I’ve always had my
doubts about some things in Russia.
