But of one thing I'm certain: A camera and a friendly spirit form a bridge of understanding with people everywhere. It explains that you're a tour ist, stalls friendships, opens doors and acts as a common bond or universal language. It permits you to join children at play, men at work and people at leisure with a recognizable reason for your presence. directed to a young lady at the; information desk.

" Our newly . found friend had another treat in store for us and our cameras. On a boat, which he piloted himself, he ferried us to the nearby colorful island of Marken. There we paid a call on the island's first lady, Mrs. Sijlje Boes, who showed us her home, explained some of the island's traditions and expressed her warm regard for America.

With the decrease in the number of school districts has come a drop in the number ofi citizens serving as school board members. In 1933. 424.000 persons . served their communities as; school board members or trust ees. By 19.r)8-59. their ranks had dwindled to 185.228. This year '.here are almost 12.000 fewer than last year. The number of superintendents f schools is estimated at 13.008 ror 1959-00. The superintendent of schools is a professional person in charge of the administration of activities of the local school district. Agricultural Ferric Sulfate has proved its ability to loosen the heavy adobe clay that forms slick spots and lumpy, unworkable patches in many Pacific Northwest pastures and fields. At Meridian, Idaho, Dairyman Joe DeWaard succeeded in getting rid of adobe spots in irrigated pasture and forage crop land with ferric sulfate. He worked his fields successfully for two seasons after treatment, and couldn't even tell where the slick spols had been. On a field of corn grown for forage, he made a good crop where adobe and alkali probably would have prevented a crop without ferric sulfate treatment. "Before I put on the ferric sulfate, I got a grain drill and two tractors stuck in the cornfield," he said. "After treated, I could cultivate without diffi culty." Ferric sulfate is an iron salt which changes to sulfuric acid and iron oxide in the soil. The sulfuric acid reduces alkalinity of soils which are over-alkaline, while the iron oxide coats soil particles, keeps them from sticking to gether, improves water penetration and the development of plant root systems. Ask your Stauller dealer how Agri cultural Ferric Sulfate can help solve your soil problems.
