Kim Jong Il Sends Thanks to Farmers and Helpers

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il sent thanks to all the agricultural workers who have successfully carried out the spring farm work and to the servicepersons, blue-collar and white-collar workers, students and dependent family members who have assisted agriculture materially and morally through a general turnout in supporting farms. The Workers' Party of Korea set the agricultural front as the main front in socialist economic construction this year and called upon the whole Party, state and people to render labor and material assistance to the rural districts, focusing and mobilizing all efforts in doing good farming.
    The agricultural officials and workers had made substantial preparations for farming from the outset of the year, true to the Party's policy of agricultural revolution. The weather was unfavorable and a lot of things fell short of the need, but they successfully ensured the farm work including the growing of rice seedlings and transplanting as required by the Juche-based farming method.
    The servicepersons, blue-collar and white-collar workers, students and dependent family members who turned out in response to the Party's call for general mobilization in rice-transplanting rendered sincere assistance in farming, thus making a significant contribution to the completion of rice-transplanting in the most suitable time in the main areas across the country and the qualitative progress of overall farming in good time.
    The agricultural workers and supporters to the rural districts all over the country once again demonstrated the true advantages of the Korean socialist system by displaying a high degree of beautiful traits of collectivism in the Songun era in the period of the farming campaign.
    The proud successes registered in spring farming this year are a precious fruition of the wise leadership of the WPK. And they are manifestation of the steadfast spirit of devotedly defending the leader and the spirit of devotedly carrying through his policy displayed by the army and people who remain loyal to the Songun idea and leadership of Kim Jong Il and noble patriotism of all the agricultural workers and supporters determined to bring an autumn of bountiful crops to the country without fail.
    And this is a demonstration of the might of the single-minded unity of the army and people of the DPRK who rise up like a mountain at the call of the Party and successfully fulfill its appeal, ready to go through fire and water, and convincing proof of the validity and vitality of the Party's policy in setting the agricultural front as the main front of socialist economic construction this year.
