Pyongyang, September 30 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to Farm No. 1116 under KPA Unit 810. Visiting the farm in September last year, he took measures to build an institute as befitting the institute of latest agricultural science and another modern greenhouse and turn a neighboring farm into its experimental farm. He looked round high-yielding varieties of crops like "Phyongok 9", "Dry-field rice 24" and kaoliang-maize cultivated by the farm and went to the newly built three-story institute. He was pleased to see water-field rice, dry-field rice, kaoliang-maize, black maize, sugar-reed and others growing in the modern greenhouse with full material and technical conditions for breeding seed in all seasons. He stressed the need for the farm to take deep attention to distributing high-yielding varieties of crops throughout the country, to say nothing of the research work. At a plot for a vegetable which was proved successful in experimental cultivation, he said that another new vegetable amazingly high in productivity and nutritive value was raised to open up a bright prospect for supplying vegetable to the people and service personnel. He personally named the vegetable "Tanbaekcho" in the meaning of being rich in protein. Officials and working people of the Farm succeeded in breeding and raising high-yield strains, which are adapted for the physiographic features of Korea with limited arable land, highly resistant to harmful insects and short in growth period with high and stable yield even under the unfavorable weather conditions, to prove the validity and vitality of our Party's policy for seed improvement that it is vital to farming, he stated, adding that all the units should learn from the experience gained by the farm. -0-
