全省产麦區的小麥統購工作已先后開始。各地經過宣傳憲法草案,農只的社會主义覺悟进一步提高,普遍掀起丁賣粮熱潮。但是粮食的統購統銷,畢竟是一件新的工作,而且关系到農民生產規律和生活习惯的改變。大家知道,要改變農民的習惯,是很不容易的事,必須經過耐心的教育与長期的努力。農民是最相信事實的,他们不僅用耳聽,更重要的是用眼看。要使農民真正了解国家的粮食統購統銷政策,必須結合農民的切身體驗,採用通俗的、生動活潑的方法,用活人活事活道理,反覆的向農民宣傳再宣傅。去年各地普遍運用的幫農民算三筆胀的方法,就是向農民宣傅的好方法,因而收到了良好效果。今年,我们向農民宣傅粮食統購統銷政策,较去年更有了物質基礎,農只經過半年多實際體會,已逐漸認識到粮食統購統銷的好處;只要我們善於把農民這些切身體會總結起來,啟發農民自己教育自己,那便是最生動最有說服力的方法。根据去年的經驗與最近各地反映的情况,農民對国家統購統銷粮食有三個顧慮:怕災荒、怕買下到粮食;怕粮價不穩;怕影響生產。要解除這 Wheat production in the wheat-producing areas across the province has started successively.

The method commonly used by peasants in various parts of the country last year to calculate three direct sums of inflation was a good way to address the peasants and received good results.
