48 - 3 -- But we also expect the tremendous harvest with sarge, so that nature will continue to be favorable to our work.We are determined with all our might to avert the further danger, which might threaten our harvest. Besides hailfall, we also take care of the danger of fire, both in the field, as well as in the Schober or in the Scheuer. Against the fire, the enemy of our work and hope, it is necessary today to concentrate all the effort. Farmers, in this eye view it is a task of far-reaching importance for us to preserve the entire harvest for the food of our population and thus not a single grain will be destroyed. Pay attention to the fire. Be careful with everything that could cause the fire, and pay particular attention to it, so that no fire may be spread out in the fields or in the camp. Take care of conscientious weapons in the field and forests and always keep the entire necessary extinguishing equipment in readiness to meet this danger with success. Also take care at the harvest that the mown grain is also exposed to fire in the field. Do not forget that the danger of your possession also threatens life and health.
