[According to] a personal message from Balabolkin, a member of the Semipalatinsk Gubposevkom, the Semipalatinsk Gubprodkom has reserved
[in] the Ally Regional Consumer Society up to 20 thousand stacks of unthreshed grain.
Reconsider the issue, having discussed comprehensively [the following:]
The threshing of grain is impossible without giving part to the peasants as a loan or payment for threshing, if this loan is
used for sowing and the threshing of the remaining food grain is guaranteed, I allow a partial deviation from my directive No. 410, transferring part of the grain, in no case
more than 300 thousand, for seeds [with] compliance with the indicated conditions, however, taking into account first of all the catastrophic food
situation of the workers' centers [and] capitals. [About the] measures taken
[on the] basis of this, immediately telegraph me, copy to Narkomprod.
