Only when farming is done successfully and food shortage decisively settled, is it possible to shout hurrah for socialism and win victory after victory, the editorial notes, and goes on:

The dear respected Kim Jong Un examined the present situation of agriculture and opened a prospect of its development with clairvoyant wisdom and insight and clearly indicated an orientation and ways to settle the food shortage.

Now is the time for all the party members and other working people to turn out with courage and perform feats in the general onward movement true to the noble intention of Kim Jong Un.

It is the firm pledge of the WPK to enable the Korean people, who remained loyal to the Party weathering all difficulties, to live without tightening their belts and enjoy wealth and prosperity under socialism. All the officials and other party members and working people should display their high devotion in the rice-transplantation campaign, to begin with, true to the noble intention of the Party to decisively settle the food shortage.

Sky-high is the spirit of all officials and other people all out in the -ongoing grand advance, inspired by the trust reposed by Kim Jong Un, calling all of them true comrades-in-arms who shared bitter grief over the greatest loss to the nation.

This year's goal of grain production is sure to be attained as long as there are the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un, the Korean people who are possessed of the indomitable mental power that Korea can do anything if it is determined, and the firm foundation for agricultural production.
