The above-said militant call made in the joint New Year editorial of three major newspapers this year reflects the firm will of the WPK to enable the Korean people to live a happy life as others at an early date and bring earlier the ultimate victory in the drive for building a great prosperous and powerful nation, the daily in an editorial notes, and goes on:

The DPRK has laid all foundations for radically boosting the agricultural production under the wise leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

The cultivated land of the country was realigned to befit the land of socialism, large-scale waterways including the Kaechon-Lake Thaesong waterway find their ways to every field of cooperative farms and Juche-based fertilizers are now being mass-produced to the great joy of all the people.

A signal turn is sure to take place in the agricultural production when we give fullest play to the existing strong production potential, true to the WPK policy for bringing about a radical change in agriculture.

Success can be made in the rice-transplanting campaign only when not only the officials and other working people in the field of agriculture but all other people turn out in it as it is a labor-consuming farming process which should be completed without delay, concludes the editorial.
