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. expert organizers and real com- tors of socialist construction— heavy housing tion and culture.

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...

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?
