...same excuse for the virgin lands of northern Kazakhstan, where the harvest would be far below expectations. In the Ukraine, bread basket of the Soviet Union, the wheat crop was "somewhat worse than last year." but party officials hoped to meet their overall grain quota by producing more corn (used for cattle fodder) than last year.

...last year's half-faced camp." His possessions were what he had made himself or carried on his back from civilization. If he had had a cow, he had butchered her that winter to save his family from starving. He could count on a small squash and corn crop, if the Indians did not burn his fields, but the abundant game in the forests did him little good; his tiny supply of gunpowder was hoarded for fighting...
