指示太原市、各专县、工矿区、运城镇人民政府我省入春雨少,从播种开始即在七十余县组织了广大规模的抗旱下种斗争,使大部地区适时播种。但晋西北尚有二百五十七万亩春地未下种或下种未出苗,有的即已出苗已被旱死,被灾人口达三十八万。全省许多地区禾苗也呈旱象。目前旱灾未已,虫害袭来,蝗虫已在晋城、阳城、高平、陵川、左权等县相继发生,部分已成飞蝗蛟吃禾苗。棉蚜已在运城、临汾、榆次等专棉产区百分之二十的棉田里开始发现;金针虫、蝼蛄、钻心虫、二十八星瓢虫,已在全省范围内部分地区开始为害。但有些群众对此虫害表示「束手无策」、「听天由命」;有些领导干部还在麻痺放任、熟视无睹。若不立即动员起来,组织群众加紧防治,将要给今年的丰产任务带来不可挽救的损失。为确保今年增产任务的实现,值此紧张而带有决定性的中夏季节,对除虫保苗工作特作如下之紧急指示: Instruct Taiyuan, the special counties, mining areas, Yuncheng People’s Government in our province into the spring and rain less, from sowing that is, in more than 70 counties organized a large-scale fight against drought, so that most areas sown at the right time.

In order to ensure the realization of this year’s yield-increasing task, on this tense but decisive mid-summer season, we urgently requested the following special instructions on pest management:
