The stand on the development of hunting occupies a central place

The central place in the pavilion's exposition is occupied by the stand: "Collective farm — the main organizer of hunting". This topic is widely discussed on the example of the Kalinin collective farm in the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR.


The experience of this artel convincingly shows how hunting, a highly profitable branch of collective farm production, should be conducted and developed. The hunting grounds here are assigned to permanent brigades. Fishing implements are the public property of the collective farm. All hunting products are handed over to the artel, for which hunters are charged workdays.


Income from hunting in 1954 amounted to 38% of the total income of the collective farm.


The booth and filmstrip, which demonstrate the experience of exterminating crop pests, rodents and enemies of animal husbandry, wolves, are very popular among visitors to the pavilion.


The experience of rodent extermination is revealed by the example of the brigade of the collective farm named after Zhdanov, Dnipropetrovsk region.


In 1954 alone, this team, led by the innovator M. M. Marienko, produced more than 20,000 ground squirrels, thus saving about 2,700 tons of grain from the collective farm harvest.


Another interesting figure is that 70 ladies' coats can be made from the skins of ground squirrels donated to the state by this brigade.

The pavilion demonstrates the experience of fighting wolves. The stand reveals the most effective method of extermination — the selection of cubs in dens. This method is shown by the example of the best wolf hunter of the Tula Hunting Society, I. I. Ushakov, who destroyed 32 cubs and 6 old wolves in 1954.


Along with this, the pavilion promotes methods of exterminating wolves through flag roundups, a trap method of fishing using wolf packs and the extermination of wolves from an airplane.


In the pavilion's theme, special attention is paid to the promotion of the best muskrat farming method. The pavilion features the Balkhash muskrat industrial Farm of the Kazakh ASSR and the Baikal-Kudara industrial Farm of the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR, the largest in the Soviet Union.


The Balkhash muskrat farm is headed by one of the most experienced hunters, Stalin Prize laureate L. A. Volyansky. The team led by him increased the production of commercial muskrat skins from 1 hectare of nest-suitable area from 5.2 pieces in 1947 to 15 pieces in 1954. The yield of muskrats in one litter also increased — in 1951, by the beginning of fishing, there were 8 puppies per family, and in 4, 12 puppies.


The industrial farm carries out a plan for harvesting muskrat skins from year to year. In 1954, furs worth more than 7,500,000 rubles were handed over to the state.


The Baikal-Kudrinsky industrial farm, having a much smaller nesting area than the Balkhashsky one, achieved even better performance. The yield of muskrats from one hectare of land here was 6 in 1947, 15 in 1951, and 25 in 1954. In 1954, the muskrat production of the industrial farm increased 3.9 times compared to 1947. The industrial farm handed over more than 720 thousand rubles worth of furs to the state.
