Rice-Transplantation Begins in Chongsan-ri of DPRK

Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- Rice-transplanting on May 9 started in Chongsan-ri of Kangso District, Nampho City of the DPRK, an area associated with the undying leadership feats of the peerlessly great men where the great Chongsan-ri spirit and Chongsan-ri method were created. The agricultural workers of the Chongsan Co-op Farm made the seeds sprout well, sowed them in the rice-seedling beds at the right time and introduced an advanced method of cultivating rice seedlings. As a result, the rice seedlings have become healthy. Measures were taken to prevent damage from drought. Farm machines were repaired in a short period and the tilling and harrowing of paddy fields was promoted in order to make full preparations for rice-transplantation in time. The farmers remove the young rice plants from the seedbed and carry them in a responsible manner so as to plant the prescribed number of seedlings per phyong, etc. -0-
