English Translation

22./ Food and agriculture. 4.3 8- m Of the difficulties in selling vegetables, the introduction has been made. Meat and fat production has fallen partly due to the lack of feed. The harvest prospects are to be described as good, but a noticeable hay failure is to be expected, as the frost has caused great damage in the clover. The target prices are not met. Inexplicable is the phenomenon that, despite the abundance of vegetables, this is extremely expensive, almost impossible for unmediated people. Controiles on the markets are described as insufficient, creeping trade can be observed again and again. The lack of agricultural workers is unchanged, which is why the strongest crop service use will be necessary. The lack of feed in some places is only partially corrected by green fodder. The creation of settlement houses is urgently needed in some areas. It is criticized that an excessive number of Czechs without further weapons passes for hunting purposes, while the Germans are treated extremely deeply motherly.
