succession； the famine still continues。 Under the ancient régime
wheat was superabundant； hogs were fed with it； and calves were
fattened with bread。 It is certain； therefore； that wheat is
diverted by monopolists and the enemies of the new regime。 The
farms are too large； let them he divided。 There is too much
pasture…ground： sow it with wheat。 Compel each farmer and land…
owner to give a statement of his crop： let the quantity be published
at the church service； and in case of falsehood let the man be put
to death or imprisoned； and his grain he confiscated。 Oblige all
the cultivators of the neighborhood to sell their wheat at Forges
only； etc。〃
