FARMERS

Pengpu, Aug. 30.-Soldiers of the -95th Route Army are to render as sistance to the farmers in the har vesting of their autumn erops, ne cording to an order issued by Gen eneral Liang Kuan Ying, Commun. der of the 25th Route Army now garrisoning Shucheng in central Anhwei.

General Liang has ordered what cock battalion assign at least thirty men to help the farmers in the work of ranping, transporting, or other farm labour. They are to be self supporting and should, under no eircumstances, demand food or re muneration from the farmera; nor must thay make themselves a nuis. anoo to the community in general.

It will be recalled that General Liang has frequently in the past offered help to the people.

Several thousand of the soldiers were at one time also engaged in conservancy work un the Huai River.-Kuo Min.
