Gor bachev as he prepares for agricultu ral reforms, and may affect food supplies and buying strategies, West ern analysts said Tuesday. “This really is a disappointment,” one Western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.“Just for credibility’s sake they have to improve grain production. It’s not happening.” Soviet officials on Monday an nounced that the 1988 grain harvest was 195 million tons, less than the 210 million tons in each of the pre vious two years. Gorbachev is trying to reform So viet farm policy by encouraging workers on the collective and state farms that were formed forcibly in the 1930s to work in smaller groups. He wants to give them long-term leases that will allow them to con sider themselves masters of the state- owned land and offer the opportu nity to earn more money. A meeting of the Communist Par ty’s policy-making Central Commit tee is scheduled for March to con sider reform in the farm sector, which is characterized by indiffer ence, low productivity, and large losses in transportation, storage and processing. The newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported last week that three out of four pota toes harvested in the Soviet Union go to waste. A smaller grain harvest also will require the Soviets to divert more of their earnings to buying food rather than new foreign technology to modernize industry. The harvests of 210 million tons of grain in each of the last two years were short of the targets of about 230 million tons, which Western ex perts considered unrealistic, but bet ter than the average annual harvesi of about 180 million tons in thefirsl half of the decade. Even with a harvest the size oi| those in 1986 and 1987, the Sovia Union had to import millions oftou of grain to provide bread and pastil products for its population and leed for its cattle. The official press warned coni sumers last fall that the harvesi would be lower this year, blamingJ drought that afflicted many of grain-growing regions in 1988. Hit sing.

Western analyst, however, said thf cold and rainy 1987 growing seasor,| had been even worse for grain.

Billy goat spawns boon of kid births SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) -| Zookeepers are blaming a kid boot at the Forest Park Zoo on the esi pades of a billy goat who escapes from his pen.
