8. The computation also excludes all private farms hitherto worked by hired labour and held de facto in ownership or lease by the State, private banks, monasteries, the former Imperial family, and landlords, including the ex-Tsar and the Church, since they are to form the Land Reserve Stock, out of which allotments are to be made to all peasants having no lands at all, or only such quantities which are below the now prevailing peasant normal unit of food and labour.
9. In calculating the entire quantity of land held de facto by the working peasants before the Revolution of 1917, it is necessary to compute it in respect of each kind of land separately, such as arable, meadow, pasture, alluvial, etc.
10. This computation is to be made both in absolute figures and in percentages of the total quantities, for each individual household-farm, for the village community, canton, district, province, region, or the entire zone.
11. In thus computing the total quantity of lands it is necessary to establish the quality of productivity of each typical dessyatin of arable and meadow land on the basis of the crop per dessyatin of each soil in the zone, calculated in poods of corn or hay on the figures of the last ten years.
12. Along with the computation of the quantity and quality of the land, it is necessary to calculate the entire population in the given zone, which is engaged in agriculture or is dependent upon it.
13. The census of the population engaged in agriculture must be made according to sex and age as well as family status for each farming unit separately, afterwards summing up the figures according to village, canton, district and province in the zone.
14. In taking the census of the population it is necessary to compute the number of labour power units (L.P.) and of mouths, for which purpose the entire population is divided according to age, thus:-
Non-able-bodied.
Girls up to the age of 12. Boys up to the age of 12. Men after the age of 60. Women after the age of 50.
(Non-able-bodied persons through sickness are registered separately according to physical or mental sickness).
