It is extremely important to organise things in such a way that all grain surpluses without exception are collected and dispatched in one volost after another. Do not grudge machines and bonuses for exemplary volosts. Inform us of the total amount of surpluses and which volost will prove to be the first to collect all surpluses in full.
