1. According to the latest news famine has engulfed fifteen provinces.

2. Its population is twenty-two million strong.

3. Last year fifteen million desiatinas were sowed here.

4. But now only seven million desiatinas have been sown.

5. To sow the land (at least by half) you need to plant fifteen million poods.

6. In August alone they were supposed to yield 9,850,000 poods (a fair bit).

7. And what was done?

8. To help the hungry folk the peasants completely paid back their seed loan.

9. We have already been able to send ten million poods of grain to the famine-struck provinces.

10. Any day now seed will arrive from Sweden and America 2,100,000 poods will arrive for our benefit.

11. And to their detriment.

12. We will be victorious on the famine front, but for this it is necessary to collect tax. Pay your tax without delay.
