Pyongyang, June 5 (KCNA) -- Officials and working people in the agricultural field are manuring and cultivating maize properly, which is one of the immediate farming processes.

Officials of the Agricultural Commission and the provincial rural economy committees are properly guiding the farming with the main emphasis placed on ensuring the correct number of maize seeds per phyong and promoting their early growth.

Anak and Chongdan counties in South Hwanghae Province make sure that the weeding of maize fields are conducted in time.

Pyongyang Municipality finished weeding of maize fields once or twice in the shortest period and pushes ahead with the third weeding on a full scale on the basis of a detailed plan.

Cities and counties of South Phyongan Province are scraping the soil surface in a responsible manner and filling the missing plants affected by insects and wild animals in a proper way.

North Hwanghae Province has ensured the normal operation of pumping equipment to prevent damage from drought and fierce heat.

The same is true of Nampho and Kaesong municipalities and North Phyongan and South Hamgyong provinces. -0-
