36a Er pe V voial2 e On the basis of the household maps l943, the documents for the new local register were compiled. According to the latest investigations on the population status ( civilian population) of the Germans, it increased against the previous year to 284,000 by about 10 000. These figures do not include the German nationals who were brought into the Wehrmacht in the amount of 45 000. Agriculture: In the reference period, the summer livestock census was carried out on 3 June the year before and the results were announced to the competent authorities for internal use. The decrease is due almost exclusively to the decline of the young cattle, which is to be welcomed in view of the comparatively high young cattle population in Bohemia and Moravia. On the other hand, the number of dairy cows has increased somewhat. Sheep farming was also increased by a further 23 %. In contrast, goat farming, the keeping of chickens, geese and ducks was considerably reduced. Whereas, in view of the rational use made of the feet necessary for poultry farming in the production of see- ing wines, this development should be welcomed; raltra According to the results of the last control surveys carried out under the direction of the Special Economic Command with the commander of the security police and the SD, which covered the entire territory of Bohemia and Moravia, all political districts, numerous municipalities and a large number of farms, the following control errors were found during the summer livestock census: pigs and cattle O.03 vH, sheep O.6 vH; goats lvH, chickens 0.6 vH and geese O.9 vH. and ducks 2.6 vH Compared to the last controls, the already small control error in itself has further reduced itself. The Reg.VO of 28 February of the year Coll. No. 49, 1944, according to which the district authorities in the criminal proceedings had to declare the animals concealed at the official census to be forfeited, has therefore brought a visible success. A further reduction in the error in the control of official censuses may no longer be expected.
