(LEAD) N.K. stops drills, sends troops to help farms: source

   SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's 1.1-million strong military has apparently halted its regular military exercises while its troops help farmers raise crops, a source here said Wednesday.

The North's armed services usually hold large-scale inspections and scattered exercises around this time of year ahead of a massive regular summer exercise beginning in August, the source said.
