1. In order co make sure of the crop from the kolkhozes in the Caucasus, the
Soviet authorities there have adopted a system of ordering soldiers into
these state farms as "volunteer" workers. They are also prescribing heavier
punishments than ever for workers who sabotage production in the kolkhozes.
2. The last yield was thirty percent under what the Soviets had calculated on
getting. In some oases actual production even dropped as much as forty-five
percent below estimate.
