One day in August 1976, President Kim Il Sung visited a cooperative farm (then).

Looking at the ripening paddy rice with satisfaction, the President asked in detail the officials about the varieties of rice and the per-hectare yield and said that he was going to look round other fields planted with an early-ripening variety of rice.

An official of the cooperative farm was very sorry for making the President walk along the road between fields in the midsummer heat. When the official asked the President to have a rest a little, the President changed the topic of conversation into the issue of varieties, saying that he regards the walking along the road between fields as a rest.

That day the President gave precious instructions on farming while walking along the road between fields.

Indeed, he had devoted himself to the wellbeing of the people without a rest. -0-
