Kim Jong Il Gives Field Guidance to Central Tree Nursery

Pyongyang (KCNA) - Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, gave field guidance to the Central Tree Nursery.
After being briefed on the nursery before a large map showing its panoramic view, he went round seedling greenhouses and fields to acquaint himself with its construction.
Pleased to watch an efficient moulding machine for humus-cake seedlings made by workers of the Jangjagang Machine Tool Factory, he said the workers of the DPRK are capable of manufacturing everything if they are determined to do.
Learning that the seeds of pine tree personally sent by him to the nursery grew to be tall trees and form a forest of pine trees laden with pinecones, he praised the workers of the nursery for successfully cultivating them with good care.
He called on the scientific research institutions to step up the research into cultivating trees of good species which are of economic value and suited to the climatic and topographical features of the country and widely propagate them.
In order to increase forest resources, it is necessary for the army and people to turn out as one in creating and conserving forests with voluntary enthusiasm and creative ingenuity, he noted. -0-
