— Although data on state farms in recent years are sketchy, their general situation and problems appear to be essentially the same as they were in the 1950s and the 1960s. At a provincewide symposium of state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises, convened in Chouchih, Shensi Province, in May 1975, the participants were told that although the proportion of the enterprises in the entire rural economy was "still not great," they occupied an important position in China's socialist agriculture.

— In the past year Chouchih County in Shensi Province has formed a technical group which can design and build small power stations and make small generators or transformers.
