It was one day in May Juche 63 (1974).

After receiving a report that the then Songsin Cooperative Farm in Sadong District, Pyongyang, is transplanting rice seedlings with a rice-transplanting machine, President Kim Il Sung went there.

Seeing the rice-transplanting machine planting rice seedlings, he said that he was very pleased to see the peasants working cheerfully.

Seeing the machine planting rice seedlings in line with each other, officials were admired. Looking round them, the President said that exhaust gas from the motor could affect people and the exhaust pipe should be remade.

Seeing the power transmission wheel and belts of the rice-transplanting machine installed outside, he said that an operator would be hurt if he is not careful and that a cover like bicycle should be put on the machine.

The officials were deeply moved to look up to the President who was so concerned about the peasants not to feel any inconvenience. -0-
