He was plowing with a cow and a horse, his wife' was. planting pota- toes; and their little tow -headed boy was playing under a tree when I vis- ited them, ,They insisted that I come to their home, a quarter of a mile away in the village, and have a bite toat. So I sat in their neat kitchen munching brown breadand delicious park tenderloin -while. they enthusias- ically told me about their new life in he new Czechoslovakia. ' They had lived in; 'Central Bohemia ntil Franticek wag rudely moved off h3 acre of land, and sent to forced abor in Germany. With liberation ame .opportunity. He• and 40 of his eighbors., were given laltd around this illage. Franticek got 18 acres -good and, too. He uses a mower to cut hie hay, ekes with a big hand rake. He..and is neighbors have•. a .threshing ma= hine and swap work. Some of, his eighbors hire their plowing 'done rom one of the -government tractor tations. He says the land needs fer- ilizer very badiy, even though he is ery , careful to save every bit of enure, including the liquids which re pumped into a tank and• carried o thee;fiields. He ,raises, a Couple of. ogs; for meat, has six cows for 'work-- ng.and for milk, and, plants wheat, arley,ana sugar beets. Along with half his .neighbors, he elongs to the farmers' orgatiization hich keeps the Parliament informed f farmers' needs. He buys from a o -op store 'and sells -all of his pro- uce to the co-op whish handles three- ourths of the farmers' produce. • He tans to join -one of the ,breeders' or- anizations which seekg„ to improve' vestock through feeding and. breed g, and which hires experts to give he farmers advice: Just a week ago, after several onths of` probation, be got the de- ree to his land—his wife dug it out f the bureau drawer so I could see It says they can't sell the land, ust be loyal citizens and do a good o,b of farming. "It's up to us—and Nile. it will be hard work, we know e'll make it," Francticek said. His wife told how they had already made ans to send their three-year-old son the agricultural College so "he can ke over the farm." Franticek's farm, like most of the thers ih the country, has, a manicur- d look like a formal garden or a untry club golf caurse, The Czech armer is as finicky about his land nd home as an old maid is 'about. eeping house.. They weed tiaeir.m heat like we take dandelions fro wns. When I went tato. a piggery. (that's hat they call the building• where a rmer had three sows and some pigs) s wife apologized that things weren't cleaned up yet," • hurriedly ok a broom made from itti'sties, and wept little, bits •of stray chaff from e whitewashed concrete alleys be- een the peas. The place was as as a kitchen, equipped ,with ectric lights. And the big white gs. looked like blue 'ribbon- stuff to e. Incidentally, ' they even have unfy fairs over, here. Czechoslovakia expected a 90 per cent of normal crop this year, in spite of the se -settlement program, the lack of fertilizer and shortage of draft power which makes a cow -horse. hitch the most popular working team, But a spring drouth has already- cut pro- duction' below that. • Although UNRRA . tractors hate been -put to good use, they are cry- ing for more. Gasoline is ,so scarce they have equipped many of their old tractors; automobiles and trucks to burn wood or charcoal. 1 saw an old Fordson tractor Axed up as a wood burner. So instead of hunting filling stations you just stop to get a bundle of wood. A 'casual drive through the country would convince you the Germans drove off all of their livestock. (They did lose a third of their milk cows, nearly two-thirds of` their poultry, and half their hogs). But an Czechoslo- vakia they keep their livestock in- doors for two reasons: They use ev- ery available acre for crops and it saves building fences. They hope ,to put more emphasis on livestock in the future. UNRRA has brought in a few Holsteins 'but it's quito,a new thing in this country to have a cow just for milking— they're just discovering her most im- portsnt secret. Although Czechoslovakia could teach us a.'thing or two about better farm- ing—how to save liquid manure, for instance—they have theft problems. Along with many other European na- tions,. a tions,. this cotintry is cursed b - the fact that a farmer's land may be div- ided into two Cr three dozen tiny strips and scattered --as far a5 five miles from Minahome. H wastes much of his tittle getting t'i` i t'i be- tween' his fields, and he eitte 1llake Very good iuse of naachihet'y. A cotfttnission is now at work try- ing to consolidate these scattered Asters could have been witl� me.' when ; ciif visited the family of Olga, a 2Qryear� old girl who was.. helping ter tether weed the wheat en their' 60onre .farm. More of that Czech bospitality:—she insisted that I cane to her ;home in the village for sante of the sausages for w•hiik this' region is famous, " A • • It was a lovely home. TbeY'ltad Venetian blinds at the windows, ' beau- tiful oil paintings on'the wails., some lilacs in a 'ase on the piano, many books, a "radio, electric' lights -- 'yes, 'this was the , hoine of . a prosperous •Czech farmer who was raising his family on '60 acres. Olga helps her fathee in, the fields sand also knows bow to . handle the purebred Hana-Swiss bulls he raises to sell. -Olga went :to ''a home econ- omics School for a. year and her sis- ter is now studying pharmacy at the university in •Prague, • We stepped out' the kitchen door (after those delicious sausages) ,. and into the courtyard behind thii" "house - It was lined -with the stables where they kept their Cows, hogs and hors -- es. .It's always a surprise to me to have the stables, the kitchen and the living. quarters grouped into one •con- tinuous building. But if you'd:see the way they whitewash and sweep their stables, you wbt ldn't mind a bit. Just •to prove•theirl hospitality was impartial, they told, rhe they had en- tertained another distinguished visi- tor there'—the son of Marshal Vori- shilov, the• famous Russian "'general, who had stayed there a week. when the Russian armies .liberated Czecho- slovakia. All of this might suggest that i. Czechoslovakia has not -suffered. It has—terribly.. Thousands . ' of farm homes were destroyed, thousands of farmers were driven from their farms. A. farmer on his new- UNRRA tractor was blown up when he hit one of the many hidden land mines. But it's the mental scars which will never completely heal. I wept out to where the tittle village of Lidice. us- ed to -be, saw nothing but a grass cov- ered hillside. The Germans shot the men and boys, killed host of the w -o-.' men and sent others to concentration camps, and scattered the little chil- dren all over Europe.. They burned the village, even carted • away the stones and changed the road to liter- ally wipe Lidice from the face of the earth, I talked with a farm •girl who had escaped fPom the country and come• back to. -find her mother and father had been sent to the gas chambers. Her sister had simply vanished. I' saw grim -faced Czech. soldiers stand- ing' ever • German .prisoners who *ere exhuming' 20,000 bodies from three huge mass graves — Czech political prisoners killed by the Nazis, There was the girl of 19 who was locked for seven days . without food in .a cattle car crowded with people, ail- naked. and with no Sanitary arrangements. This girl doesn't like to wear short sleeved summer dresses an ugly mark ..0f the concentration camp is burned intd her arm. All of this gives you- some under- standing as to why Germans who still remain in Czechoslovakia are requir- ed' to wear .v. bite or yellow armbands, The Czechs cannot so soon forget. t t u c •n v 1 rh c ra s m a h ,b b w 0 c d f g in t m c 0 it m j w w pl to •ta 0 e co f a k w la w fa hi to s th tw cle el ho m co A There's no question that Czechoslo- vakia 'has' moored towards the Left. A good share of,indust`r'y has been tak- en over by the government. I drove through many. towns and villages on May Day, one of their biggest holi- days, ° and saw tremendous celebra- tions. Always the Comn4unist party parade was biggest of the four par- ties. And the hammer -and -sickle tlag flew alongside of the red -white -and - blue of C,zech.oslovakia. Let me tell you of a .•visit I had with Stransky, Who . hada just been given an..opportunity to buy soame land taken from a German landowner who burned his buildings' and fled with the retreating German armies: It'was. just a year ago, atran5ky's wife re- called,' that Germans machine-gunned their village ;and their three children narrowly escaped. "How different it is today," she sighed. They have a hotine; enough. land to , support their family. Their boy could go to the agricultural col- lege, their daughter could go on to school, too. They knew there, Was hard work ahead of them, and had confidence in their future. They h,ad- just given up a few bushels of prec mous wheat which they realty needed themselves—had given it to the gov- ernment because they knew others needed it worse than they... Stran'skj was certain there Could be . peace if every- individual took it on himself to .work for it. His wife chimed in to say. "Yes, but there must also be a unity- and co-operation among nations ,and the peoples of the world. Tell your Mr. Truman the best gift he can give us is to help keep the peace," This farmer and his wife told me they were Communists.
