In view of the positive impact that cooperation between the home and the school has on creating a school atmosphere
that is beloved to the souls of our sons and daughters, the students, and encouraging them to study and achieve
with increasing desire and longing, and in view of the necessity for teachers to understand many aspects
of their students' lives to assist them in facilitating their education and studies on one hand,
and for fathers and mothers to be aware of the progress of their sons and daughters in school and what that
requires in terms of communication and consultation with the teaching staff, we therefore emphasize the necessity
of all school administrations forming Parent-Teacher Associations and Mother-Teacher
Associations, electing their administrative bodies, and taking the necessary measures to organize
the essential communications with the fathers and mothers of students regarding the problems of their sons and daughters
and providing us with the results.

A review of the agricultural situation in our country for years past clarifies that those responsible for agricultural
policy in the recent past fell significantly short in mobilizing the efforts of our farmers and their massive energies and rallying them
in the field of venturing to invest in our vast lands in many of the southern provinces in particular, to plant fruit
trees of various kinds, especially citrus fruits.
The expansion in investing more of our arable lands and diversifying our agricultural products of extreme
importance, such as fruit trees in general and citrus fruits in particular, and ensuring their abundance, quality, and mastery of
their marketing, allows this country, ancient in its vitality and the abundance of its agricultural production, to renew its agricultural revolution
in a world that has made great strides in the industrial and agricultural revolutions. In this, there is enrichment and support for the national income
and for our balance of rare foreign currencies, whether by achieving self-sufficiency in these agricultural products in
a way that limits our importation of them, or by achieving a surplus in them that allows us to export them. Since this targeted
economic achievement requires sustained administrative support, we therefore request and emphasize to administrative officials
the necessity of supporting the representatives of the agricultural sector and the Ministry of Agriculture and assisting them earnestly in urging citizen
farmers and growers and encouraging them to plant fruit trees and to proceed with organizing a nursery project for this
purpose in every village, town, and city, leaving the matter of determining its area to the discretion of the administrative official and the representatives
of distributing these nurseries, while emphasizing the investment of the desire of prominent farmers and others by motivating members
of organizations, students, teachers, and all other citizens qualified for such work to contribute
to this project voluntarily, so that this contribution may be a testament to the sincerity of their national sentiment and a pure participation
in the service and development of national production.
Accordingly, it has been designed on the scale of the Iraqi state in all its provinces. As for the northern provinces in particular,
nurseries for fruit trees of all kinds should be established, as well as pistachios, almonds, and the like, especially those
trees whose wood can be utilized in construction and building works. An inspection will be conducted for all producing
nurseries at the level of the country as a whole to announce the best of these nurseries in terms of output and the most abundant in production. It is important to us
to receive your proposals in a timely manner, accompanied by the proposals of the competent administrative authorities in each province in this regard, with
a precise statement of your administrative needs from now and before the arrival of the nursery planting season next spring, in order
to enable the taking of necessary measures to handle matters related to this issue completely starting from the next season.
