Agricultural Working People in Van of General Onward March of Songun Revolution

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- The agricultural working people, who are in charge of the main front of socialist economic construction this year, are vigorously turning out in the general onward march of Songun revolution in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea under the slogan "Let the Whole Party and Army and All the People Unite as One in Mind and More Strikingly Demonstrate the Might of Songun!", put forth by the New Year's joint editorial. They, full of the firm determination to make a great surge in production as they did in the period of the Chollima upsurge in 1950s, are giving full play to their patriotic enthusiasm in the farm-work from the beginning of the year.
    Those in Jaeryong, Anak, Pyoksong and other counties in South Hwanghae Province brought out to fields more than 200,000 tons of compost on Jan. 3 alone and those of coop farms in Jongju City, North Phyongan Province, and Hwangju County, North Hwanghae Province, are turning out large quantities of quality bio-compost.
    Ryanggang and Jagang Provinces are introducing the Taehongdan-style scientific farming method to bring about a great turn in potato farming. And Thaethan County in South Hwanghae Province and Taegwan County in North Phyongan Province are making full preparations to do two-crop and bean farming well so as to reap a bumper crop this year.
    Meanwhile, the constructors of the Paekma-Cholsan Waterway project, who are well aware that natural-flow irrigation is key to increased agricultural production, are registering signal successes in such projects as Paekma reservoir, aqueduct tunnels and open-air water channels every day.
    A nation-wide help to the countryside is being conducted dynamically. On the third of this month, Pyongyang sent 11,980 tons of compost and over 122,700 pieces of small farm- implements of 23 kinds and North Hwanghae Province more than 150,000 tons of compost and over 210,000 pieces of middle and small farm-implements of 147 kinds.
