English Translation

This measure does not contribute to the satisfaction of the population either, since persons living in one and the same municipality receive the full or reduced allocation rate depending on whether they are registered in the city or in the village. The fat collection points work well; the lard was followed in the prescribed quantity. Artificial fats. were delivered in full, but their nutrient content is extremely low. Eggs. The new regulation of the egg collection results in a heap of slaughtering of the hens by the self-sufficient who do not own land. Therefore, the demand will rise in the spring. Fruit. Oranges, mandarins and apple are available on the market and the edition of the apple is properly carried out. In the case of oranges, the allocation was not favourable according to the so-called points, since the expenditure on small shops was too large in relation to their sales possibilities and considerable surpluses remained and perished. In the district of Königgrätz, according to the small traders, the surplus was about 3,oo kg. Of this, 1oo kg was spent on hospitals and charitable institutions, the rest was completely superfluous, since the proposal of the district authority to sell the remaining oranges to consumers in general was rejected by the fruit association. Vegetables. There is a lack of onions, buds, kreen and cabbage; all the stocks of fresh vegetables stored in the farm are exhausted very quickly.
