The cultivation of the fields and hay fields of the foresters and under foresters is the duty of the forest warders, inasmuch as these warders seldom cultivate more than one desatin for themselves, but the work of ploughing, reaping, and harvesting cannot be executed by the warders alone. Therefore the Palata of Imperial domains is required to calculate, on the basis of the amount of land and the number of forest warders, how much land each forester and under forester has uncultivated, in order that the necessary workmen may be sent from the government farms, which receive assistance in timber and firewood. On the basis of this calculation of ploughed land, hay-fields, and corn lands, the Palata sues for and allots all the work and working days between the government farms in proportion to the number of peasants' houses.
