Kim Jong Un Inspects Orangchon Power Station

under Construction

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected the Orangchon

Power Station under construction.

He exchanged greetings with the officials who greeted him, appreciating
their services. He said that he came to personally learn about the situation
and take measures as the project has not yet been completed although it
has been more than 30 years since President Kim Il Sung gave an
instruction to build the power station.

He first went round the construction site of the Phalhyang Dam.

Pointing out that only 70 percent of the project has been done although it
has been 17 years since the construction started, he acquainted himself
with the reason of the delayed project.

Now upper organs, in disregard of the situation of lower organs, only
make a wordplay that the construction of the Orangchon Power Station is a
task to be fulfilled in the period of the 5-year strategy for the national
economic development, he said, pointing out that the Cabinet has only
specified the project as a target project that should be accelerated with
concentration of efforts in reports of its series of joint meetings or on the
list of its stereotyped work plan but never taken any practical and blitz
measure for economic and organizational work. He reprimanded the leading
officials of the Cabinet for leaving the project to the province only and not
paying attention to it.

Worse still, the officials who are responsible for the national economy
make their appearances in every inaugural ceremony of power stations
though they never inspected the power stations and dams when they were
under construction, he added.

Noting that if the Orangchon Power Station is constructed, it will tangibly
contribute to promoting the economy and people's livelihood in North
Hamgyong Province where industrial establishments are located densely,
he criticized the officials of the province and county for having not sent a
letter to him in connection with the situation though they were much
concerned of the delayed construction of the power station which is vital
and urgent for the work of the province, and for having neither worked in a
far-sighted manner nor focused their effort on the construction for the
mere reason that it gives no immediate benefits but requires heavy
investment.

He took a revolutionary measure by giving an instruction for the Party
Central Committee to provide organizational guidance to the construction of
the dam and the power station by mobilizing all party organizations and
members and thus complete the project by October 10 next year.

Then, he went round the Orangchon Power Station No. 5.

Watching generating equipment installed at the power station, he said
highly efficient and modern generating equipment should be installed and
operated in full capacity to steadily increase the production of electricity,
pointing out that the power station was built with so much effort but it fails
to produce electricity in full capacity.

Noting that if the loss of electricity in transmission is decreased,
electricity reserves equivalent to building some new power stations will be
gained, he said produced electricity should be effectively used by taking a
decisive measure to decrease the loss of electricity in transmission though
it may require much effort.

Noting that the builders of the power station have so far done much with
pure conscience despite difficulties, whether their efforts are known or not,
and the dam is growing thanks to the intense loyalty and inexhaustible
strength of the builders who have performed labor feats for implementing
the Party policy, he ardently called on the whole country to turn out in the
general drive, keeping step with the builders.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Workers' Party of Korea Central
Committee.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Fish Farms

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to the
Raksan Offshore Salmon Farm and the Sokmak Atlantic Salmon Pedigree
Farm run by Unit 810 of the Korean People's Army.

He visited the Raksan Offshore Salmon Farm.

Going round the room for education in the revolutionary history and cage-
net fish breeding ground, he acquainted himself in detail with the
production at the farm.

It is important to create clean environment and establish a strict hygienic
and anti-epidemic system in fish breeding grounds like in stockbreeding,
he noted with appreciation, adding that ten-odd settling troughs were
newly arranged at rivers flowing to Raksan Bay and at waste water outlets

of industrial establishments and seaweed and tangle culture grounds were
built around cage-net fish breeding ground to prevent sea pollution and
protect ecological environment.

He said that advanced technology should be positively introduced to put
the offshore fish farming, cage-net fish farming, on a scientific and
industrial basis and big efforts be directed to the work for preserving the
uncontaminated ecological environment of sea on a high level so as to
expand the water areas fit for breeding Atlantic salmon and produce this
kind of fish in a larger quantity.

It is necessary to raise the level of putting the production of processed
salmon on a scientific, automatic and modern basis, strictly ensure its
hygienic safety and quality and realize its standardization, he said, adding
that Atlantic salmon bred on the East Sea of Korea and processed fish
should be intensively supplied to the Pyongyang Taedonggang Seafood
Restaurant to improve the people's diet.

He also toured the Sokmak Atlantic Salmon Pedigree Farm.

Going round the room for education in the revolutionary history, open-air
fishing pond and other parts of the farm, he learned about its management
and operation.

He highly appreciated the officials and employees of the farm for having
done a lot of work through a dynamic drive for updating the farm on a high
level over the last three years to carry out the tasks given by him on the
spot in May 2015.

They spruced up the room for education in the revolutionary history,
established an automatic control system for water recycling by computer
and newly built oxygen-generating station, cylinder caisson and ultraviolet
sterilizing station to increase the capability of water purification and
oxygen saturation. They also rebuilt the modern fattening ground in a
hygienic and anti-epidemic way to raise the survival rate of fry salmon,
remodeled 54 concrete fishing ponds at 6 indoor blocks into resin ones and
settled the problem of disposing waste water to decisively decrease the
death rate of fish. Besides, they newly built superfine grinder, bulking feed
plant and 1 000-ton feed storehouse and established a system of feed
production by antibiosis.

Giving appreciation of such achievements, the Supreme Leader said it is
vary admirable that our scientists established a technique for preventing
group death of salmon fries and thus made it possible to breed hundreds of
thousands of salmon fries at sea this year.

Now it is possible to further activate the culture of salmon given the
enough material and technical foundations for safety production of Atlantic

salmon and the increase of the level of its scientification and modernization,
he noted, expressing his great pleasure over the appearance of a promising
delicious fish producer in the country.

He had a photo session with the officials and employees of the pedigree
farm, expressing the expectation and belief that they would be a model of
the country in implementing the WPK's pisciculture policy by steadily
adding to the achievements under the banner of putting the fish farming on
a Juche, modern, scientific, industrial and intensive basis.

Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the WPK Central Committee.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Chongjin Shipyard

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to the
Chongjin Shipyard.

He went round the room for education in the revolutionary history at the
shipyard. He said that its officials and workers should create new miracles
and innovations in shipbuilding and glorify the undying leadership exploits
of our Party by carrying forward the baton of loyalty and self-reliance
recorded in the proud development course of the shipyard with great pride
and honor of working at the glorious workplace visited by President
Kim Il Sung 12 times and by leader Kim Jong Il 6 times.

He learnt in detail about the overall situation of the shipyard, going round
the anchor chains workshop inspected by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and
other production processes and shipbuilding site.

After acquainting himself with the structure and tactical and technical
specifications of a newly built warship and its weapons and equipment, he
boarded the warship on a trial navigation. He praised the workers of the
shipyard for having successfully built the warship with excellent mobility
and firepower capability to strengthen the navy by fully displaying the
revolutionary spirit of self-reliance.

The Chongjin Shipyard is able to build various ships better in the future as
it has a history of shipbuilding and high technology, he said, indicating
detailed tasks to further modernize the shipbuilding process.

Noting with firm belief in the workers of the Chongjin Shipyard, he
decided to entrust it with the building of a newly planned modern cargo-
passenger ship, he said that the shipyard can easily carry out this task as it

had already experienced building the ship Mangyongbong-92. The shipyard
should launch and conduct the work in a bold and revolutionary way and, in
this course, further develop its shipbuilding technology and put the
production processes on a scientific and modern basis of higher level and
thus take the lead in bringing about a great leap in the development of the
country's shipbuilding industry, he added.

He expressed belief that the officials and workers of the Chongjin
Shipyard would perform shining feats in the struggle to attain the new goal
set forth by the Party and creditably live up to the expectation of the
Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the C.C., WPK.

Kim Jong Un Visits Machine

Factory of Ranam Coal-mining Machine Complex

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to the
September 1 Machine Factory under the Ranam Coal-mining Machine
Complex.

He acquainted himself with the production of the factory, going round the
room for education in the revolutionary history, sci-tech learning space,
machine assembling ground and other places of the factory.

Praising its workers for having conducted fierce offensive to build
modern buildings for production and life and spruced up the inside and
outside of the factory, he stressed the need to continuously push ahead
with technical updating of production processes and equipment as well as
regular management of production buildings.

Going round workplaces busy with production of machines and ordered
equipment, he stated that the officials, workers and technicians of the
factory should intensify the creative cooperation and the mass
technological innovation movement to increase the production capacity and
realize the modernization and automation of machines at a high level.

It is necessary to bring science and technology close to production and
work out a plan in a bold and big way and stubbornly carry it into practice
at the factory and thus further consolidate its material and technical
foundations so as to produce machines requiring high technology, he said.

The sci-tech learning space should be arranged better and study-while-
working habit thoroughly established at the factory so that all its
employees can master machine equipment and fully arm themselves with
the modern science and technology to radically increase the quality of
machines, he noted.

He said that the factory should pay attention to improving the supply
service for employees and providing them with good material and cultural
living conditions to bring about a great upsurge in production.

Saying that the factory's duty and role are very important, he set forth the
tasks and ways for developing the factory into a leading machine producer.

He had a picture taken with the officials and workers of the factory,
expressing the belief that they would bring about a fresh leap in the
production of high-efficiency and modern machines of various kinds
urgently needed for different fields of the national economy and make
positive contributions to the development of the machine-building industry
of the country.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea, and Ri Hi Yong, chairman of the North Hamgyong
Provincial Committee of the WPK.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Yombunjin Hotel under Construction

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected the Yombunjin
Hotel under construction.

The construction of the Yombunjin Hotel began in July 2011 in hearty
response to the teachings given by leader Kim Jong Il on several occasions
to successfully build a hotel in Yombunjin with clean sea waters and good
white sandy shore.

The building of main structures has been finished and the interior building
phase is underway.

The Supreme Leader referred to the fact that the plastering of the inside
hotel has not yet been finished though six years passed since the
completion of its frame project.

He called for taking a decisive measure to quickly complete the

construction, saying that although leader Kim Jong Il chose the site of the
hotel in the picturesque Yombunjin shore and paid attention to the
construction till the last moments of his life while learning about it time and
again, the project has not yet been finished and that it is a very mistake to
delay the construction at a time when the entire Party is concentrating all
its efforts on implementing the behests of President Kim Il Sung and
leader Kim Jong Il while taking it as the main line and as lifeline.

He indicated the construction orientation and ways to turn the Yombunjin
area into a wonderful resort for the people, saying that the Party will take
a step for supplying funds and materials and the North Hamgyong
Provincial Party Committee should encourage the officials and builders of
the province to the campaign for implementing the behests of the leader so
as to build the hotel by Oct. 10 next year and make a report of loyalty to

Kim Jong Il.

Saying that Yombunjin is an ideal place for the people to take cultural rest
anytime as its seashore scene is unusually beautiful and it has good traffic
conditions as it is located near railways, shipping lane and roads, he
stressed the need to turn the area into the Yombunjin coast park of
peculiar style by building more lodging quarters and service facilities of
various forms and purposes in the section of more than 600 meters along
the shore around the hotel.

Pointing out that the ground design for exterior of the hotel is not good
and its accommodation capacity is small, he gave instructions for the
central and provincial designing forces to make an overall examination of
the design and redesign it in keeping with modern tastes from a new angle
with their concerted efforts.

Saying that he will send professional technical forces of national
institutions to help the province conduct the finishing construction of the
hotel with its own efforts, he stressed that the province should strengthen
and develop its designing and building forces in this course.

He said that if modern hotels with adequate communal amenities are built
in Yombunjin and its vicinity as there are scenic spots and famous hot
springs, the people in the province and other people from across the
country would take enough rest and lead a cultural and emotional life to the
full while enjoying mountain-climbing, sea-bathing, angling, river-fishing
and hot-spring cure in the area.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Onpho Holiday Camp

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected the Onpho Holiday
Camp.

He visited it late at night and acquainted himself with its management,
operation and situation.

Looking round the bathroom of the camp, he pointed out its very bad
condition, saying bathtubs for hot spring therapy are dirty, gloomy and
unsanitary for their poor management. If the camp draws criticism by the
people instead of their favor due to such poor operation and management
though it is holding a signboard indicating that it is a building visited by
President

Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, it will commit a sin of bringing to
naught the exploits of the great leaders who built a holiday camp for the
people before anything else in the scenery place where hot spring water is
gushing out all the year round, he said.

He asked the chairman of the Kyongsong County Party Committee about
the output of hot spring water and its temperature at the point of gust and
accommodation capacity of the camp and the number of rest-home visitors,
and gave a task to modernly and newly build the camp.

Calling for sprucing up the area of the camp which is famous for spring
water in the country to be a peculiar resort which meets the convenience
and growing cultural and emotional demands of the people at the best level,
he said he would make sure that the People's Army would excellently build
it next year and present it to the people as a gift.

He said the camp should be built excellently to be an all-round service
center, therapy center with all catering establishments so that people can
enjoy full rest and spring water therapy during their holiday, adding its
design should be worked out in a peculiar manner to meet the features of
the spring water area and thus build the camp into a model of the spring
water holiday camps without an equal in the country.

Having a talk with the chairman of the Kyongsong County Party
Committee, he asked him about the work of the county party committee and
the work it plans to do in the future, he gave precious teachings for
developing the county in a peculiar manner.

Noting that the county has fields, mountains and a sea and good traffic
conditions, he said that as it has some foundation for developing industry,
agriculture and fisheries, the county party committee should study and

work hard for the earlier development of the economy of the county which
has favorable natural and economic conditions.

He expressed expectation and belief that the county party committee
would bring about a decisive turn in the struggle for turning the county into
a marvelous one good to live with its own efforts by inspiring the people in
the county to the drive for implementing the party policy.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Kim Song Nam, Jo Yong Won,
O Il Jong and Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the
Workers' Party of Korea.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Jungphyong-ri, Kyongsong County

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected Jungphyong-ri,
Kyongsong County, North Hamgyong Province with the idea of building a
large-scale vegetable greenhouse farm in it.

Kim Jong Un has given his whole mind to sufficiently supplying the
vegetables to the people by massively cultivating them of various sorts
even in the northern oceanic climate more unfavorable than the plain area.
He went to the spot with the idea of building a large-scale vegetable
greenhouse farm in the sector of an air force regiment in Jungphyong-ri to
be removed according to a decision made by the Central Military

Commission of the Party, personally learned about the site and clarified the
long-term plan for building a huge vegetable greenhouse farm.

Looking at the vast land of the sector in an airport, he said that if we
build a vegetable greenhouse farm of one hundred hectares, it will be
splendid, and such area of the greenhouse will fully meet the needs of the
people in the province. He expressed great satisfaction, saying he is very
pleased today and that he is most pleased when he does a worthy thing for
the people one by one like this.

Saying that the people's army should build the farm at lightening speed as
it is the first gigantic and large-scale construction in the country, he
stressed that it is necessary to build it at the highest level while ensuring
both construction speed and quality as it is the farm to be provided by the
Party with firm determination, not sparing the investment for the people in
North Hamgyong Province.

He called for building the farmers' residential area and cultural and

welfare establishments in a modern and civilized way and thus successfully
sprucing up the farm village as a model of socialist rural cultural
construction and socialist paradise in which it is nice to live and work.

He indicated a general orientation arising in building the farm and
operating it including the issue of organizing the powerful headquarters for
dynamically pressing ahead with the construction and permanent organs of
different fields, the issue of manufacturing greenhouse equipment and
supplying the construction materials and the issue of training the
greenhouse engineers and securing seeds and manpower.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Chongjin Bag Factory

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected the Chongjin Bag
Factory.

In recent years he established production processes of materials for
manufacturing bags including cloth and zip capable of satisfying the needs
of the country one by one and, on the basis of them, set forth the task for
pushing ahead with the work to successfully build an independent factory
for production of schoolbags in every province and to mass-produce and
supply bags of good quality with supplied materials as an important policy.

However, the North Hamgyong Provincial Party Committee did not
sincerely accept the Party's policy on newly building a bag factory in line
with the capacity while disregarding the work initiated by the Party to
provide all necessary things for the schoolers with our own products,
giving top priority to the education for the generations to come. It offered
shabby rooms of the building at the Chongjin Regenerated Fibre Factory for
a bag production base and thus caused great anxiety to Kim Jong Un who
came to the factory to learn about the bag production in localities.

The Supreme Leader pointed out that the Provincial Party Committee is
working in a perfunctory manner, disregarding an important policy to be
prioritized by it and that its attitude toward the acceptance and
implementation of the Party policy is very wrong and the committee has no
revolutionary spirit and responsible attitude of working hard to implement
the Party policy.

Looking round the sample room of the factory, he said that the factory's
level of producing bags is high though its production began one and half a
year ago and the skills of its employees are high and that the bags are
diverse in color and size and they were well made with much care
according to the ages.

He said it is necessary to make the shoulder straps of bags with thicker
sponge, noting that they should be made with twice thicker sponge than
now so that their users may not feel pain

Stressing the need to strive for further raising the quality of bags, he said
that the central factories responsible for production of raw materials
should produce the accessories of bags such as cloth, zip and tape with
locally available materials and ensure their production on a high level.

He called for qualitative and meticulous sewing to produce quality bags so
that they should not get unfastened or ripped though children and pupils
handle them at random.

It is necessary to further reduce the bag production cost, he said, giving
an instruction to reexamine the price of school things including Mindulle
notebooks and bags being supplied to pupils.

Saying that even though the state has more burdens, it should not give
inconvenience to the people, he stressed it is needed to correct the price
after listening to the view of inhabitants.

He charged that there is a problem in the work of the Provincial Party
Committee as it has not yet built a design room, paying no attention to a
poor products show room.

Noting that he gave an instruction for provincial party committees to build
a schoolbag factory in a responsible manner in every province and learned
about the construction of bag factories in some provinces and they are
considerably different in level, he said such difference should be
considered as a gap in the officials' ideological attitude toward the Party
policy, not difference in the economic power of provinces.

The overall economy of the country can vigorously progress when North
Hamgyong Province with great industrial potentials stands up, he said,
expressing belief that the Provincial Party Committee would rectify its
faults as soon as possible and wage a dynamic struggle for implementing
the Party policies and thus build up the province into a reliable key industry
zone of the country and bring about a radical turn in improving the people's
living standard.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers'

Party of Korea.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Construction Sites in Samjiyon County

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State
Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme

commander of the Korean People's Army, gave field guidance to construction
sites in Samjiyon County.

Looking at the master plan of construction of a township in the county and a
map showing the bird's-eye view of the township in the county at the observation
deck on Pegae Hill, the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un was briefed on it.

He gave an instruction to include the plan of expanding and developing the area
extending to the shore of Lake Samji in the plan of the township construction of
the county in the future.

Looking at the map showing the bird's-eye view of the township in the county,
he said the color of coating materials and metal roofing materials of the buildings
should be harmoniously matched to their use and features and the color of the
exterior walls should be selected to suit well the natural forests of Mt Paektu.

He said that the construction of Samjiyon County should be conducted, divided
into the areas of education, dwelling houses, modern streets, industry, sports and
cultural education, commercial service and tourism, in accordance with the
ratified master plan.

He said that a model of city with modern civilization in the mountains should be
made in the construction of Samjiyon County and the appearance of all the
counties in the mountains of our country should be spruced up and built well by
generalizing the experience and this process should be an occasion of great leap
and a revolution in local construction.

As the township construction of Samjiyon County is conducted amidst the
concern and support of the whole Party, state and society, it should be finished in
the short period by scrupulously organizing the guidance and supply according to
a three-dimensional and blitz war formula.

He underscored the need to introduce the construction method suitable for the
features of the northern area with heavy snowfall and low temperature and
ensure the quality of construction on the highest level by intensifying the
guidance and supervision of construction without concentrating on the speed only.

He said it is necessary to make a good design of forestation and tree planting
according to the districts of the township area of the county and stressed the
need to plant a number of white birch, a favorite tree of leader Kim Jong Il.

Going round the construction sites of the Management Office for Revolutionary
Battle Sites in the Secret Camp of Mt Paektu and lodging houses for study
tourists, he learned about the construction.

Many units are engaged in the construction of the county and so state
construction supervision institutions should establish an orderly supervisory
system and make increasingly exact demands, he said.

Going round the Rimyongsu area, he said that various types of dwelling houses
and buildings should be placed in a diverse and peculiar way along the side of the
ravine, preserving the characteristics of nature and topography.

During the county construction forest mustn't be wrecked, he stressed, calling

for preserving the ecological environment in Mt Paektu area intact, mindful that
the area is a sacred place of revolution where every tree and every blade of
grass can never be neglected.

Through the work to spruce up Samjiyon County, we should renew not only the
appearance of the township area but also the mental conditions of people and let
the county play its role as a host, not making its independence and spirit of self-
reliance fade while the whole country is aiding the county, he said, adding that
the county should create a revolutionary spirit in the new century, a new spirit of
the times in the course of building itself into a communist dreamland.

Noting that the construction of the county has undergone a lot of progress, he
gave thanks to the builders for faithfully devoting themselves to the work for
sprucing up the county into the one flawless in every aspect.

Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and Kim Yong
Su, senior officials of the C.C., WPK.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Junghung Farm in Samjiyon County

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State
Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme
commander of the Korean People's Army, gave field guidance to the Junghung
Farm in Samjiyon County.

He went round a potato plot under the workteam 1 of the farm.

Noting that potato blight and flood damage have an impact on potato harvest in
July every year, he asked how it is this year. He underscored the need for the
agricultural field to take thoroughgoing measures of agricultural technique to
prevent damage by low temperature and blight, the most knotty problem in potato
farming in northern alpine area.

He said that the agronomists and persons in charge of plots should enhance their
responsibility and role so as to intensify prediction and forecast of potato blight
and that a strict step should be taken to secure agricultural chemicals and
immediately and intensively spray them upon potato plants in sickness.

He stressed the need to direct efforts to stockbreeding to establish the food
production cycle of agriculture and animal husbandry, increase the fertility of soil
of potato fields and conduct in a scientific and technical way the manuring and
cultivation of potato fields including weeding, earthing up, fertilizing and
extermination of harmful insects.

Looking round farm machines and tractors of the workteam, he acquainted
himself with how many tractors it has and how it operates them.

Saying what he wanted to know with utmost care is the proportion and level of
mechanization of potato farming, he noted that the level of the comprehensive
mechanization of the farm should be raised decisively. He pointed out that the

agricultural sector sets a good example for mechanization with the farm machines
secured more than 20 years ago. Comprehensive mechanization should be
realized with modern and efficient farm machines in line with the requirements of
the steadily changing and developing reality and farm officials should add to their
knowledge to know well the global trend of the development of farm machines
and boldly set aim high, he added.

He said that if they take into full account how many and what kinds of farm
machines are needed to do all of the farm work with the help of machines without
hesitation and inform the Party of it, it will work hard to carry it into reality and
that it is the Party's firm determination to first build the farm into an exemplary
unit for modernization of farm machines and, on this basis, turn Samjiyon County
and its farms into the standard unit of our country whose comprehensive
mechanization is realized perfectly on a high level and a farm of comprehensive
mechanization where farmers' ideal has come true.

Then he went to a storehouse of seed potatoes.

Appreciating the introduction of the automatic control system of environment
which makes it possible to put the store of seed potatoes on a scientific basis by
automatically measuring and controlling temperature, humidity and concentration
of carbonic acid gas in the storehouse, he underlined the need to increase the
capacity by properly estimating the quantity of seeds to meet the increased
potato fields.

Now that seed is essential for potato farming it is necessary to establish an
integral system of producing and keeping seed potatoes and put seed selection on
a scientific and technical basis, he said.

It is necessary to breed and introduce per-hectare high-yielding potato species
and to select and introduce species of potato fit for food as the Potato Farina
Production Factory has been built, he said, adding: All the farms should not plant
some high-yielding species only, thinking of productivity, but introduce various
species good to taste and ensure the quality of processed potato foods in
production and thus raise the quality of potato production.

Going round the farm, he set forth the plan and direction for sprucing up the
seat village in Junghung-ri, Samjiyon County.

He underscored the need to first remodel the units associated with leadership
exploits of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il such as the Junghung
Farm visited by them several times and then, on the basis of the experience,
gradually change all the farms in the county, noting that the county shouldn't cling
to only the remodeling of the township but propel it with the work to remodel the
farm villages on a full scale.

He said that the Party would actively help build the Junghung Farm into a
standard unit of village development, and gave an instruction on properly
estimating and reporting the necessary materials and labor.

This meaningful year seeing the lapse of 20 years since the Party advanced the
policy of bringing about a radical turn in potato farming, we have to realize

without fail the wishes of Kim Jong Il, who was so anxious about the issue of
potato farming in Ryanggang Province, by producing a high yield of potato in the
native land of Kim Jong Il, he said.

Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won and Kim Yong Su,
senior officials of the C.C., WPK.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Samjiyon Potato Farina Production Factory

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State
Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme
commander of the Korean People's Army, again gave field guidance to the
modern Samjiyon Potato Farina Production Factory which was built in Samjiyon
County.

He again visited the factory to discuss measures on the spot with a
determination to build a new process producing 2 000 tons of processed potato
food in a year with potato farina as raw material, as the process of producing
potato farina with a capacity of thousands of tons was built last year.

Going round the potato farina production process, he said that the factory has
not been operated in full capacity after its appearance but it should produce a
huge amount of farina with the potatoes harvested this year so as to supply a lot
of potato farina and processed potato food to the people.

He underscored the need to equip the factory with modern machines for making
a variety of foods, including noodle, zeppole, cake and nutritious rice, with potato
farina and produce tasty and nutritious processed potato foods on a full scale.

He called for building modern potato farina factories at the potato production
bases in the northern alpine region on the basis of the experience and design
gained in having built a standard factory that can produce potato farina and
various kinds of processed potato foods for the first time in our country.

He acquainted himself with the store of produced potato farina and highlighted
the need to thoroughly ensure the quality of potato farina by keeping good
conditions for the store and to establish a scientific quality check system.

He also called upon the factory to take good care of and manage production
facilities and equipment on a regular basis, ensure hygienic environment enough
to fit for a foodstuff production process and organize manpower management to
ensure profitability so as to put the production on normal footing at a high level.

He looked round a Korean-style circulating fluidized-bed boiler newly built at
the factory.

He noted with high appreciation that the new boiler based on our own design,
