'persuading committees roamed

into delivering their prescribed
crop quotas to government depots.
The drive against farmers accused
of being in arrears was nation

The persuaders called on the
small farmers, reminding them
they had better take advantage of
two weeks grace granted them
by the government to fulfill their
quotas and any socialistic con-
tracts for super quotas they may
have signed.
But for the so-called rich
farmers (anyone owing up to the
