Pyongyang, May 8 (KCNA) -- Efforts are being concentrated on potato planting in the rural areas of Ryanggang Province in the DPRK.

The Nongsadong Farm in Taehongdan County carries out its daily plan at more than 120 percent by rationally organizing manpower and increasing the utility rate of farm machines.

Sinhung, Hongam and Changphyong farms are planting potatoes by strictly meeting the requirements of planting the right crop on the right soil and the right crop in the right season.

Tractor drivers and potato sowing machine operators in Samjiyon City are intensifying inter-shift cooperation and ensuring the operation of farm machines at full capacity to increase the sowing area every day.

Paekam and Unhung counties are making successes while giving precedence to ploughing by mobilizing all forces and means.

Agricultural workers in Phungso County take foresighted measures to prevent the planted potato seeds from being damaged by spring cold and summer humidity.

Kim Hyong Gwon County and Pochon County are also achieving high results in potato planting while introducing advanced working methods and giving priority to seed supply. -0-
