Land Reform Doesn't Solve Problems of China Farmers Hong Kong (U.R) Land re form has not solved the prob lems of China's farmers. They still are plagued by famine, flood, drought and insects. Natural disasters are not their only worry. Communist authori ties are considerably upset over a lack of proper ideology in some areas. In all areas, the pro duction quotas have been set so high that the farmer has a tough time meeting his government commitments and feeding him self. Here are a few of the troubles reported in Information from the mainland: Serious Droughts Occur Serious droughts occurred in some east China provinces dur ing the winter, destroying up to one-third of the crops. Heavy spring rains and floods followed the drought, ruining much of the crops that were left. In south China, some districts are reported flooded. There, too, droughts made spring planting difficult or impossible before the rains started. In east China, areas not affect ed by drought or floods, insect pests have been raiding crops for more than a month. Red spiders have destroyed more than 4,000 acres of wheat. Lo custs and aphides have attacked other crops and wasps are al ready a serious problem to fruit growers.

Government "food loans" have been sent into some areas to assist starving peasants but in other regions no help has been forthcoming. In fact, indications are that food supplies are being export ed from some areas which are potential famine areas, to pro vide much needed foreign ex change for the Communist gov ernment. " In spite of these natural cala mities, one of the biggest wor ries of China's peasants is poli tical A recent article in a Hu nan newspaper said that the "most prevalent and serious thought problem among the peasants "... is the fear of so cialism," the fear, in other words, that they would soon be forced to give up their land to the state.
