     The editorial, which was published June 19, said the Yiwu farm had requisitioned about twenty acres of land and required 195 peasant families to exchange fifty-four more acres under such circumstances that a number of peasants later produced less on the poorer land they had received. Listing similar examples in Honan, the newspaper noted that the Hsiayi county farm had demanded land occupied by 2,000 families and that considerable opposition had been aroused when the Loyang district farm decided to take land scattered in fourteen villages.]
