The situation with regard to the employment of labor
 
in agriculture was and remains most critically difficult.
 
In order to harvest the grain crop of 1950, all labor
 
reserves had to be utilized. In the eastern provinces,
 
especially in East Prussia, it was possible only to get
 
in the harvest through mustering prisoners, Poles,
 
students end other workers. Further difficulties were
 
encountered through the regulations concerning restraints
 
upon change of Job and the employment of youthful workers.
 
A sufficient number of workers for agriculture during
 
1941 is of supreme military importance. In conjunction
 
with the district food-provision-office exact statistics
 
of workers will be made and beginning in the spring of
 
1951 allotments carried through. The following measures
 
will be carried through: unceasing efforts to exhaust
 
every possibility of obtaining workers from the conquered
 
areas of the East and from the General governement (Poland);
 
the more intensive application of measures heretofore
 
adopted to obtain additional workers; the further employ-
 
ment of war prisoners; importing workers from friendly
 
and neutral countries; a more intensive use of compulsory
 
labor on the farms and a new regulation with regard to the
 
employment of youth.
