 contribute by taking a share : the balance of each loan shall be deUvered to 

 the colonist on condition of his purchasing two Berkshire or Large Black 

 pigs, a dairy cow, plough horses, poultry, seeds etc. 



These holdings must be declared bylaw undistrainable. 



Besides the co-operative distributive society, there must be founded 

 later on a co-operative society for the sale of the members' produce, a 

 co-operative transport society etc. 



In every colony, finally, a lot shall be reserved for a model farm to be 

 assigned to an experienced farmer, who shall cultivate it according to the 

 instructions of the Defensa Agraria. The colonists must visit this farm 

 every week and adopt the same methods of cultivation on their own farms. 



The De/ensa Agraria will undertake to deal with the landowners : 

 none of its ofl&cers, as is natural, shall be paid, 



These proposals seem to have met with the approval of the Minister 

 of Agriculture.
