One day in June 1955, President Kim Il Sung was on his way of field guidance in South Phyongan Province of the DPRK.
When he reached the edge of a paddy field in the county of Phyongwon, he saw farmers dibbling young rice plants into the dried field, sprinkling jar water on it, although it was too late for them to do rice-transplanting at that time.
He asked them from where they were bringing the water and how much water they carried a day with their water jars. And he said in a regretful tone that the farmers had boils on their heads for their hard work.
He got in his car with a heavy heart, and altered his schedule and visited Jungsan and Onchon counties and the then Kangso county to learn in detail about the rice-transplantation in rain-dependent paddy fields of those counties.
Somewhere, he was so disappointed that he got into his car with dibbled rice seedlings. That evening, the dibbled rice seedlings were put on the table in the room where the Cabinet members met.
He showed the rice seedling to them, and said that when farmers produce rice with ease, people can eat it with a light heart.
The members of the Cabinet were remorseful.
Soon adopted was a Cabinet decision for carrying out the second-stage project for the Phyongnam irrigation and launching at the same time hundreds of small and medium-scale irrigation projects and river improvement on a nationwide scale. -0-
