Ce aPe piing, 8 May (Hain-hum) -.. On 6 May, the Ministry of A6riculture of the
People's Government issued a directive on the judging and selection of
wheat need in preparation for high production in 1953. Since tiseat is recognized
as an luereasingly important crop in China, all available measures to increase
production are mandatory. A proper system of awards for good production will
bbeeofstaid. The following activities should be carried out in wheat-pro-
1. Previous to the harvest season, publicize the wheat-production reward
program to prcnote high Patriotic enthusiasm for the seed-judging Program, Set
up norms for caaepariacn of patriotism, skills, appearance of crops in the fields,
and yields. Select patriotic production models,. Select production key points
and compile ssumoary statistics for the key points selected. Publicize the
experiences of model wheat-production corkers to overcome the conservative
eaawlaeeney of the many peasants who believe the zenith in production possi-
bilities has already been reached. Reports of iaaestigatirm on key point
production should be in the hands of the Ministry of Agriculture by mid-July.
