That''s the verdict of those who know combines. 14f
you always have clean, upstanding crops, you may not
really need a combine so capable as the Case "A." But
:for small seeds like clover, that take real rubbing to
thresh' out ... or a brittle crop like beans ... or fine,
fluffy seeds like some of the grasses ... or even grain
that is tough to thresh, the "A" is in a class by itself.

Life on a ,Russian - Collective
Farm By Dr, Sarah Weller in The Christian Science Monitor)
•
I lived and worked in a kolkhoz
in the village of Bobrovka, on the
Volga River, from April, 1942, to
June, 1943.
This fairly large village had two
collective farms; one called "Red
October," the other, "Forward."
Both raised grain, wheat, rye and
in addition had large tracts with
cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins,
other vegetables and tobacco. The
tractor station MTS (mashyno-
tractornaya stancia) was in anoth-
er village near Bobrovka but also
served these two farms.
Repairing of farm tools started
early in the spring. Slogans were
plastered everywhere, exhorting
the villagers to make the biggest
effort yet. The sowing and later
the harvest were literally matters
of life and death not only for the
kolkhoz but for the army and the
country as a whole. Without the
kolkhoz, its organization and dis-
cipline, Russia could never, I he -
Heim, have fought the war as it
did.
The women on the farm (most,
if not all, men Were in the army)
usually gathered' at 6 a.m. in the
yard of the kolkhoz office where
they received instructions from the
foreman, The .,foremen were sup-
posed to be elected by the people,
but usually there was one eandi-
¢ate put up by'the preSit#ent of
the kolkhoz dff M.
From time to time, the president
made a short speech reminding the
workers of their duties toward the
government, the state, and the
Red Army. The last aplieal was
the most potent because every wo-
mar, had someone in the army, of-
ten several members of her fam-
ily.
Actually, however, the farmers
sho'wed no great ersdna interest
P
I e t
in the kolkhoz because they could
not expect much from the crops
themselves. The kolkhoz was sup-
posed to provide for the army,
•meet the quota of the government
collection (gospostavka) and. pay
for the services of the mashyno-
tractor station. Then, after setting
funds aside for seed and fodder
for the coming year, for buying a
bull or ram, for crop insurance,
and other collective needs, the
rest was divided among the farm-
ers according to the number of la-
bor -days to their credit.
Now a labor -day was not neces-
sarily a day's labor. Every job in
the kolkhoz counted differently.
Consider group women e cut-
tinga g o p of o en
wheat. Each got 1s/2 labor -
days credit for cutting enough
grain to make 270 bundles each
45cth. in circumference. The ser-
vices of a water boy was consid-
ered a half labor -day, those of a
first-class tractor driver, two days.
In addition to the workers' share
from' the communal efforts of the
kolkhoz, each member had the pro-
ducts from his own little plot, his
cow, some sheep and poultry, but
no horses.
To accomplish their assigned
work in the fields, the farmers
worked from sunrise till sunset and
then worked in their, own gardens
by moonlight or very early in the
morning.
Individual gardens partly solved
the problem of food not only for
the farmers but also for the town
inhabitants. Every official, school-
teacher, and factory worker had
such a garden. Still there was
hunger in town.
The farmers worked their own
little plots more energetically than
the collectivized fields. To curb
this tendency, the government is-
sued a decree in May, 1939, mak-
ing it obligatory for members of
collective farms to give a mini-
mum of from 6.0 to 100 :st.or-days
a year to kolkhoz work.
Each family was obliged by law
to sell to the government from its
own garden at the usual low pric-
esb
15 per cent of be potatoes and
a certain amount of vegetables, al-
so 100 eggs, 1,30 quarts of milk,
and 80 pounds of livestock.
The attitude o'f the peasants to
the regime was negative, especial-
ly that Of the oilder generation,
Their favol'ite saving *Os: "Tatar
Nicolai was a fool, but bread was
cheap." In Russian it sounds like
a rhyme: "Tczar Nicolai byl dur-
achok, a chleb z'a piatachok." It is
true that the Communists had giv-
en the farmers. land and provided
them with radios, libraries and bet-
ter education. The farmer could
also participate in the local Sov-
iets.
Still the farmers didn't like col-
lectivization itself. The farmer ac-
cepted the regime as a necessary
evil. He didn't want counter-revo-
lution, nor did he believe in it.
As for the younger generation,
they knew only what the press
told them and what was taught
them in school. It is remarkable
how the government succeeded in
suppressing the slightest opposi-
tion. Stalin. the government, and
the Communist Party replaced the
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,
The churches were closed in the
small. towns and villages. In 1942,
the government opened some in
Saratov and in other cities, al-
though there was an ulterior mo-
tive. The priests were ordered to
collect money for the Fund of De-
fense. " . ,
The youngest children were kept
in a ntlr$el'y from six in the morn•
i^,g till sunset when the women
returned home. The parents paid
little for the services and meals.
A.a for myself and my daughter,
things 'turned -out ; :ry badly. We
exhausted all reserves of food.
had no more clothes for exchange,
no money. In prospect, there were
400 gr, of black bread a day and
nothing more. My salary had prac-
tically no value. Before the war a
schoolteacher made a nice living
in comparison with the general
standard of life, which was fairly
low. Durin the war there wa • no
g s
price control. •
In the 'government stores one
could get only rationed articles.
At the bazaar, or public market,
everything was obtainable. There
were regular stands. The people
displayed their goods on 'the
ground or on themselves. The
government collected 10 rubles per
clay for each stand.
The goods in the bazaar came
from private sources. The inter-
esting question is: Where did
they get them? I guess there could
be three sources: first, old re-
serves before the war; second,
goods that were supposed 16 be
distributed among the people but.
never reached them, and finally.
gocids stolen from the factories
and government stores by those
who worked there.
Everyone stole, regardless of the
position one occupied, whether as
director of a factory, the president
of the kollthoz, or ordinary work-
er. Stealing differed in scale only.
Quite often somebody got in trou-
ble and usually the sentence was
several years in a concentration
camp, but this didn't deter the peo-
ple from stealing.
With the spring, starvation
came. The worst time on a farm
was April. Driven by desperation
and hunger people would eat al-
most anything. On one occasion
a field of millet, - although known
to be unfit to eat, was piciced clean,
nevertheless, causing many deaths.
Life became unbearable, and I
with my daughter left for the city
of Krasnoarmeisk as soon as
school was over, June, 1943.

At home it would be fun for the
children to take over one part of
the yard as their special project...
Perhaps their dad can help them
build a simple tree house. It may
be only a.. plain platform not far
up a tree where they can stretch
out and read, or play they are on
a raft. It may be a tree house
with wonderful features added
gradually. such as a pirate chest,
a barrel -chair made by the chil-
dren, or a. pulley to bring up sup-
plies. ,
If there is no tree or yard
available for playtime adventure,
a piazza can 'undergo a startling
transformation. It can turn into
a trolley car or bus, with boxes
sawed into home-made seats and
benches.
Two colored sails tied to the
railing can turn it into a boat,
and of course appropriate nautical
costumes and fittings must be
made and accumulated. Playmates
would enjoy an invitation to a
"snack" in the ship's galley some
afternoon.
Whatever plans dad and mother
have for renovating and improv-
ing the inside .of the home,
whether in city or country. if the
children are given a share in the
changes, the whole family will
benefit. by the co-operation.
If there is no place for hobbies
and collections of rocks, shells,
and other things large and small
belonging to various members of
the family, transforming old furni-
ture into shelves, bookcases, or
wall cabinets can be fun.
A whole summer can be spent. in
making a puppet show. Let every-
one work on the booth, the figure's
and costumes, besides painting
puppet faces, writing the plays,
and practicing parts.
