Agrarian reform

After the agrarian reform, the territory of Pamūša manor was divided into 18 new farms (two horse farm - this is an old explanation as to the amount of land that one person could work with two horses, in modern day terms it means approx. 15 ha), which were mainly engaged in grain farming, 1st forester's house (state owned) and a separate craftsman's land and a brick kiln attached to one of the new farms. The land of the cemetery, which belonged to the descendants of Böttichers and 50 ha of inalienable land (Marianna half-manor), was divided separately to the previous owner Paul Pahlen (LVVA, fund no. 1679, , apr. (???) no. 172, arch. file no. 180). The Pamūša manor center was awarded to the general of the Latvian Army Jēkabs Ruškevics (Rundāle Palace Museum scientific archive, 2020). General Jēkabs Ruškevics, whose passion in the countryside was beekeeping, came to Pamūša just occasionally. A tenant inhabited the former manor house, but some of the premises were turned into warehouses. In 1992, in the newspaper "Arums" in an article about General Rukšēvics, Ilmārs Kreitenbergs, from the manager's house, as a boy then remembered that he often saw the general who spent his summers in the manor. He was such a man with a baldhead. Very simple and kind. Walked around in clogs. He allegedly had a regiment of bees. 

 Although he hired a beekeeper, he went to the bees himself in the summer. In a linen shirt and white pants, he worked in apiary and buttered honey. Unique pears were growing in the garden.  In a size as big as one liter jar. And there were big yellow and red cherries. Plums – there were blue, red and yellow ones. Apples - they were sold to two Jewish people for the time of the fruit harvest. But the manor house was beautiful at that time. Both the manor house and the manager's house had red tile roof. Flowers have grown in front and fence posts made of stones in the corners of the park with a triangular hat on top. In 1960, when the chairman of the collective farm "Soviet Latvia" Punenov ordered the addition of a club building all this was still there. But now everything has gone to waste. During Janson's time, when foreigners drove to the track they just painted the outside. Now the roof is leaking, although the collective farm "Uzvara" holy promises to fix it every year. Residents dump slops in front of the door. (Latvijas Avīze, 1992)
