Kim Jong Il first went to the chicken farm.

Noting that its employees have brought a new turn in breeding chickens through brisk technical innovation movement and in high revolutionary spirit of self-reliance, thus steadily boosting production, he gave appreciation of the efforts made by them devoting their wisdom and enthusiasm for the people.

He said that the officials, workers and technicians of the farm should provide the people with more chickens and eggs by sincerely performing their duties as faithful servants of the people as required by the slogan "Serve the People!"

Then he visited several places of the Migok Cooperative Farm to acquaint himself with the condition of this year's farm work.

Saying that the officials and agricultural working people of the farm intensely loyal to the Party and the revolution have done a lot of work in a few years by devoting themselves with ardent patriotism, he highly appreciated the revolutionary working spirit of them who are making steady and rapid progress without stagnation and inertia.

And he went round cultural and supply service facilities of the youth work-team newly built by the farm.

After watching a bedroom, a mess hall, subsidiary food store, a kitchen and other supply service facilities of the boarding house, he expressed great satisfaction at the fact that the members of the youth work-team are keeping their workplace clean and leading their life in a revolutionary and optimistic manner by following the example of the People's Army. And he highly praised them for having played the vanguard role in the agricultural front.

The agricultural front is the main front of weighty importance in solving the problems of clothes, food, and housing for the people, he said, stressing the need for the entire Party, the whole country and all the people to keep concentrating efforts on farming and thus bring about an epochal turn in agricultural production.
