FARM
NOTES

“By D. REIMER

Enough is enough! Is it?

Normaliy we would be in-
clined to think that once the
giant packing monopolies had.
succeeded in relegating the
agricultural producer to a posi-
tion of producing items of food
at little or no remuneration to
himself or his family, they
might be content to leave it at
that.

It would seem however, that
big business fears that as long
as farmers are left in posses-
sion of their land they con-
stitute a threat to their super
profits, so they must be elim-
inated permanently.

A report has reached us that
the supply of peaches and apri-
cots from interior growers was

cut off by the canneries on the| —

plea that they were filled up.
It was found later that ship-
ments of these fruits from
Wenatchee were being proces-
sed, leaving half of the B.C.
fruits in the orchards to rot.

A similar incident occured
last summer in the case of
Fraser Valley strawberries,
when large quantitiés of ber-
ries could not be disposed of,
due to huge shipments import-
ed from California earlier in
the season glutting the market.
The result was that local ber-
ries were left to rot in the
field.

Information is available to
the effect that B.C. Fruits Ltd.
have been wining down ord-
ers for fruits, including cash
“orders. Why this firm shoula
feel called upon to limit the
sale of fruits would be diffi-
cult to, explain. No one could
possibly aSsume that this was
in the interests of the fruit
growers.

PYONGYANG — Korea,
strong fortress of peace and so-
Cialism-at the eastern outpost
of the socialist camp, is seeth-
ing with labor enthusiasm fol-
lowing the historic Fourth
Congress of the Workers’ Party
held here September 11-19.
The Chullima work-team
movement, which now em-
braces millions, has accelerat-
ed socialist construction at an
unprecedented rate.

(The legend of Chullima is
that of a Flying Horse which
could travel 1,000-li in a single
day).
“Our party found in the
Chullima movement a, definite
, guarantee for
the successful
building of
socialism in
our country,”
said Premier
Kim II Sung,
in delivering
the main re-
port of the
central com-
. mittee. ‘The
ranks of the Chullima Triders,
the heroes of our age,
growing day after day... Our
Chullima riders are not only
innovators in production, but
also able Managing. persons,

munist educators.”

textile industry expanded rap-
idly, output going up 3.5 times
between 1957 and 1960. There
was a sharp rise in output of

various manufactured goods
and foodstuffs.

It was noted, however, that
“some industrial products are
not of high quality.”

@ EDUCATION: Compulso-
ry education was introduced
in 1956, and compulsory sec-
ondary education in 1958.
Preparations are well in pro-
gress for compulsory nine-year
technical schooling.

All education is free. A total
of 2,530,000 students and pu-
pils, or about one quarter of
the population of North Korea,
are receiving education at over
8,000 schools Of all grades.

* *

What do these things mean
in terms of daily life and liv-
ing standards?

Listen. to these excerpts
from Kim II Sung’s report:

® About one-fourth of the
national income is earmarked
for accumulation and about
three-quarters goes to the
working people for their per-
sonal consumption.

® Real wages of workers
have more -than doubled since
1956.
