the Interior〃 (October 16; 1792)。 After three good crops in
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。〃
