Officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and provincial, city, county-level agricultural guidance organs found themselves in different farms, which are bustling with weeding, to provide guidance.

Pyongyang City concentrates manpower on weeding, thus attaining good results every day.

The City Party Committee has made sure that Party organizations at all levels conduct brisk agitprop activities in co-op farms to inspire the masses to urgent weeding.

Officials of the City Rural Economy Committee offer technical guidance and strictly review the work in fields of co-op farms in districts and counties in order to make signal progress in weeding.

Farms in Kangwon Province, which applied various advanced farming methods this year, distinguish themselves in weeding by introducing different weeding tools.

Similar successes are reported every day from North Phyongan, South Phyongan and other provinces where daily weeding plans for every field were properly mapped out and technical rules are thoroughly observed in weeding.

Many other farms register high results in weeding while saving manpower by breeding mud snails in paddy fields.

Thanks to the devoted efforts of officials, agricultural workers and helpers, the first-round weeding of paddy fields across the country proceeds at the final stage.
