# Mr. Sang Doubles His Income

A horizontal photo-sheet (code SP-1434) headed 'Sang's Light Doubles Productivity' [as printed] tells of a young An Giang farmer who, on a plot lent by the Government, and with seed, fertiliser and insecticide supplied under the rural development programme, harvested 16,000 piastres of beans in three months, more than double the 1965 season. Photographs show Sang and his wife picking, a bean field and the Minister of Agriculture inspecting his beans. A named ordinary farmer is the single case offered for the programme.

ANH SÁNG TĂNG GIA NĂNG XUẤT GẤP ĐÔI

Anh Trương Ngươn Sáng, một nông dân trẻ tuổi tỉnh An Giang đã mướn một mẫu đất của Chính Phủ. Trong thời gian 3 tháng anh và vợ đã thâu hoạch được 16 ngàn đồng về 2 thứ đậu họ đã trồng. Lợi túc nầy đã tăng gia quá gấp đôi so với mùa trong năm 1965. Anh Sáng có thể sản xuất nhiều hơn nhờ tham gia chương trình phát triển Nông thôn. Anh được giúp giống, phân bón, và thuốc sát trùng. Nhờ đó, thêm vào các phương cách mới cải tiến kỹ thuật trồng tỉa, nhiều nông dân đã gặt hái được kết quả tốt đẹp. Công cuộc phát triển nông thôn đã mang lại cho dân chúng một đời sống sung túc hơn.

Anh Sáng và vợ đang gặt hái. Lúc xưa làm gì sản xuất được như thế nầy.

Những cây đậu, được bón phân kỹ lưỡng và sát trùng hứa hẹn mùa màng tốt đẹp.

Ông Bộ Trưởng Canh Nông và nhân viên phái đoàn đang xem đậu của anh Sáng.

SANG DOUBLES PRODUCTIVITY [lit. 'MR. SANG INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY TWOFOLD']

Mr. Truong Ngươn Sang, a young farmer of An Giang province, rented a plot of land from the Government. In three months he and his wife harvested 16 thousand piastres' worth of the two kinds of beans they had planted. This income has more than doubled compared with the 1965 season. Mr. Sang was able to produce more thanks to taking part in the Rural Development programme. He was helped with seed, fertiliser and insecticide. Thanks to that, in addition to new improved planting methods, many farmers have reaped good results. The rural development effort has brought the people a more prosperous life.

Mr. Sang and his wife harvesting. In the past how could they produce like this.

The bean plants, carefully fertilised and sprayed, promise a good harvest.

The Minister of Agriculture and members of the delegation looking at Mr. Sang's beans.
