【新华社北京二十九日電】人民日報二十八日以“趕緊注意粮食保管工作”为題发表社论,號召各地認真贯彻中央人民政府政務院財政經濟委員会关于加强公粮保管以防霉壞的指示,做好粮食保管工作。社論認為要作好这一繁重的工作,有两個主要的關鍵:第一,必須认真重视粮食保管工作。过去,在粮食保管工作上,是存在着两種情况的。一种情况是:有些地方發生了粮食發熱、霉坏等情形,因此,粮食曾經受很大損失。但是,另一方面,也有許多地方的公粮却保管得很好。例如河北省石家莊区庫,在一九五○年曾進行過三次粮食普遍大檢查,在雨季曾翻晒、疏散与處理了一千餘万斤不利保管的公粮,创造了不少保粮有效辦法,使一千三百萬斤粮食未發生霉坏、蟲害。为什么會發生了这样兩種相反的情况呢?此 [Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 29] People’s Daily on the 28th issued an editorial entitled “Quickly Observing Food Storage Work” and urged all localities to conscientiously implement the Financial and Economic Committee of the Central Government People’s Government Instructions, do a good job of food storage. The editorial held that there are two main keys to doing this arduous task: First, we must pay close attention to food storage. In the past, there were two situations concerning food storage. One situation is that in some places food fever, mildew, etc. have taken place. As a result, food has suffered a great loss. However, on the other hand, there are many places where the public food is well kept. For example, the Shijiazhuang District Treasury in Hebei Province conducted a general inspection of the food three times in 1950, carried out drying and evacuating and handling more than 10 million kilograms of unfit custody grains in the rainy season, and created many effective measures for grain preservation. Thirteen million jin of grain did not cause mildew and insect pests. Why did the two opposite happen?
