Inscriptions

Peasant! Organize yourself in a collective farm. That which you cannot achieve in an individual farm you will more easily accomplish collectively. In a collective farm you will perform the cultivation of the land using a tractor, and a steam thresher for sowing (selected, threshed seeds). For a small expenditure of time and strength, you will get a good harvest and a high quality of bread. \r\n[continues to explain the advantages of the collective system for peasants, rather than farming alone and without machines - in the first case, there is lots of grain and it wins prizes for its quality. They go pick it up in tractors and trucks in the fall, whereas individual farmers finish harvesting later and have to go to the mill with their few bags in bad weather, mud and slush. So much work and effort in vain, and so many workers and horses have perished because of this! \r\n\r\nState Press
