The town has about 6,000 people and he runs a farm about three miles north of the community. Commenting on the differing practices in agriculture, he point ed out that his farm is about 120 acres and he raises sugar beets and potatoes. "You do it the rough way over here," he said when queried about harvesting practices. He did not elaborate on the point beyond indicating that the use of machinery for the worK was more plentiful here. "We farm just about all the land possible," he stated, noting that in America there Is quite a bit of land on the sides and the ends of fields which are not used. When asked what he would like to take back to the Netherlands most, he quickly offered, "Some of your sunshine. He explained that in his area mere is arjom zuu Inches of rainfall per year.

He explained the differ ence as about three cents per pound for export potatoes to only hall that for domestic use. While many agricultural prod ucts are exported, he said, such things as wheat and beef have to be imported. The government interferes in the farm picture only to the extent of guaranteeing the price of all wheat grown in the country. A mandatory rotation program on potato growing is also en forced by the government. Farm ers are permitted to grow pota toes on a plot of ground only one year out of three. This means, he explained, that farms must be divided into thirds and the crops on them rotated each year. A trend toward larger farms, a growing reality in this coun try, is also beginning to be felt in the Netherlands' agricultural economy. Small farms of 19 to 20 acres are not proving economical to operate and are gradually be ing absorbed into larger acreages, the visitor stated. The Netherlands is the most highly mechanized nation on the European continent according to the IFYE guest. One of a family of four chil dren, Wierenga said his oldest brother farms the "home place' while another brother attends the University of Wageningen, the agriculture center of the Nether lands. His sister is a school teach er of home economics in the south ern part of the country. His parents have retired from the farm and live in the small city of Uithuizen. Wierenga shrugged off questions about the political situation in the1 Netherlands, indicating that his primary Interest revolved around the agriculture field, and remark ing that he was in this country No Defense From Atoms, So Reds Ignore Shelters MOSCOW (AP) - Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev told a group of West-1 ern "peace marchers" today thai the Soviet Union was making no effort to build air raid shelters.

Once back home, he will have a host of 35 mm slides to show to others about life in the United States.

Most of the marchers did their best to convince Mrs. Khrushchev that, if the world refuses to dis arm, one country should set a good example by discarding all its armaments. Mrs. Khrushchev declined to agree. 'We do not want to be the only ones who throw our bombs into the ocean," she said. She added that In the naif 4A years, the Soviet Union has had many unfortunate experiences with war and does not want to be in a position where it could be' trampled upon again. Thirty-one persons from the United States and Western Europe participated in the march, which began in December of last year in San Francisco.

Santa Fe Chief Quizzed At Rail Merger Hearing SAN FRANCISCO (UPD Pres ident Earnest Marsh of Santa Fe Railway was expected to appear for cross-examination today at In tcrstate Commerce Commission hearings regarding control of Western Pacific. Marsh faced questioning by Charles W. Burkett, an attorney1 for Southern Pacific. Both SP and Santa Fe are seeking control of Western Pacific. Burkett said his cross-examina tion would emphasize that consoli dation projects proposed by Santa Fe are not comparable in their size with Southern Pacifies, He said his questioning also would seek to prove that if Santa Fe wins, it will divert traffic from the mldcontinental route through the Arizona gateway, running "all the way" to Chicago. Thus, Santa! Fe would avoid sharing revenue with other railroads which make up a part of the Utah gateway route, he said. Marsh salH Thursday that Santa Fe witnesses have seriously un dermined" the position of SP in the case, but Burkett retorted that "they've accomplished substantial ly nothing. Santa Fe completed its main cross-examination Thursday. Dur ing the four days, its attorneys asserted that they achieved these objectives: Broke down a Southern Pacif ic argument that rail freight is declining so much in the face of truck competition that competition between railroads is no longer necessary. Santa Fe confronted a Southern Pacific expert, a Stan- lord Research Institute economist with a confidential report by his own organization saying that rail Dusiness Is now on the rise. Weakened testimony of SP ex perts who said the railroad indus try is so unsound financially that wnoiesale examination of dupli cating tracks is needed. Santa Fe attempted to show that these con clusions were based on the nation al picture, rather than on the re gional picture.

My husband is an only son. He is devoted to his mother although jM she gave him lo for raising. Before we I made it clear I did not want to share quarters with her. He agreed, but asked if she might occupy our new flat while we honeymooned. I said Fine. When we returned she was set tled in our place and made no mention of leaving. After two months I insisted that we find another flat because he didn't have the nerve to ask her to leave. Now my husband wants to start a family but I fear even tually his mother will ask to live with us and he will be too gut less to refuse. I will then be trapped. Perhaps the time to end the marriage is now, when there are no children. WORRIED Dear Worried: If you are seek ing an excuse to end your mar riage or put off having a lam lly, this Is as good as any. It would be foolish, however. tn take such a drastic step In anticipation of a problem which may never materialize. Simply ad here to your position of a sep arate roof for Mama and adopt positive approach toward your marriage. It will work if you want it to. Dear Ann: I'm 18 and expect ing a baby in three months. My boy friend refused to marry me although we went steady for two years and we talked about mar riage a lot. I was so heartbroken and ashamed I told him I nev er wanted to see him again. I decided to put my child up for adoption. Last night his mother came over to talk to me. This is the first I've heard from her since I got in a family way although she has known for quite some time. She offered to pay all medical expenses plus $500 if I would give my baby to her sis ter-in-law. Her sister-in-law has been married for 13 years and has had five miscarriages. She is 42 and having a difficult time getting a baby through an agency. My head is swimming from all the advice I've had. I've decided to do as you say. BITTER TEARS. Dear Bitter Tears: If you sell your baby to this boy's aunt it will be the second biggest mis take of yqur life. Haven t you sulfered enough? Do you want the additional pain of watching your child grow up under your very nose probably unable to get near him except i phony pretexts? Tell the woman NO then con tinue with your plan to put the child up for adoption through licensed agency. Protesters Stay In Jail McCOMB, Miss (AP) - Nine teen demonstrators arrested for protesting the suspension of two Negro students remained in jail today with no indication bond would be posted. The 18 Negroes and one white man part ol a group of 119 dem onstrators arrested Wednesday afternoon for demonstrating on the steps of City Hall will go on trial Oct. 23 on disturbing the peace charges. Ten of the group have also been charged with con tributing to the delinquency of a minor. The other 100 demonstrators.. all juveniles, will go before Youth Court Judge Hansford L. Sim mons at a later date. Doers Ope Toalta 6 if an aunt married Dear Ann: I can't let you get away with this any longer. You keep telling kids they should take music lessons even if they hate it "because it's good for you." Don't you know this only makes kids hate it more? I'm a grown man now but I have vivid memories of the ag onies I suffered practicing the trombone. I was tone deaf and had no sense of rhythm. The neighbors upstairs on our tloor with a hammer. The neighbors downstaiis pound ed their ceiling with a broom handle. We had fights every day. I can still hear my mother yell ing "Practice! Lessons coat mon ey!" I have three children and when we want music -in our house we turn on the radio or spin a few records. Peace, it's wonderful. POP Dear Pop: Yes? And who makes that music? Probably mu sicians who hated to practice when they were young. Are your parents too strict? You can benefit from the expe riences of thousands of teenagers if you write for ANN LANDERS' booklet, "How To Live With Your Parents," enclosing with your re quest 20 cents in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped en velope.

UPI -The House Agriculture Subcommittee opened two days of hearings here Friday on log exports to Japan and on land use policies in na tional forests of the Northwest. The committee, headed hy Rep. used to'knock!?"" Grant' ay began hearing testimony on what uses should be permitted lor the na tional forests of Oregon and Wash ington. Most of the forests are gov erned by the multiple-use policy, aimed particularly at permitting both lumber and recreation. Proposals have been made, how ever, to turn some of these areas, such as the Oregon dunes and the Waldo Lake region in the Ore gon Cascades, and part of the Washington Cascades, into a na tional park, wilderness area, or national seashore. The hearings are part of a nine- ; day subcommittee tour of the Northwest. The committee Saturday will hear views on log exports to Ja pan and their effect on lumber mills in this country. Japanese exports of raw logs, particularly from Washington have boomed. Lumbermen have complained the heavy exports are leaving a shortage of logs for domestic mills because low processing costs in Japan permit exporters to bid higher prices for available raw logs.
