      "Work like Darya Garmash!

      Darya Garmash - the brigade leader of the women's tractor brigade of Ribnovsko MTS (?), Ryazan area (municipality, province?). She has been working as tractor operator for two years. The remaining women tractor operators learnt to work like that during the time of war.

      Darya Garmash's brigade were the winners in the All-Union socialist contest of women's tractor brigades in 1942 and 1943.

      In 1943 the brigade of noteworthy tractor operators fulfilled the yearly plan of tractor operations at 511%. The average output of the fifteen-strong brigade was 1318 hectares (more than three season's quotas), while at the same time saving 9500kg of fuel.

      The basis of success of Darya Garmash's brigade strong work discipline, good care of tractors and the attached machinery, precisely organised work timetables and full tractor load (?).

      The brigade worked in two shifts: the day shift from 6 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening and the night shift from 6 o'clock at night to six o'clock in the morning.

      The particularly thorough work of the brigade's night shift ensured that all the necessities such as fuel, oil water and kerosene where prepared beforehand.The tractor operators look after their machines the whole years round, providing maintenance on a regular basis and thus preventing any delays.

      Work as hard as Darya Garmash's brigade! Remember that havesting is a communal effort. The fighting effort on the liberated socialist fields brings us rich, victorious harvests.
