June 1918

Could it not be arranged so that the detachments go for grain (to collect and transport by route by train) on a twofold order: either for one time (in one volost, etc., for the threshing of a district, etc.) and then the premium is less, or with the obligation to work for a long time (not one time, but for 3—4 months, etc., or again at the call of the Food Supply Commissariat, etc.) and then the premium is higher.

(In both cases, make it a condition that they are obligated both to collect and thresh and to transport themselves in bins and to build bins or sheds, etc.)
