the Netherlands. 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

ferential between potatoes raised
for the consumption market, the
home market, and those raised for
exports. 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

Wierenga is due to leave soon

will embark by boat from New

The debate took place at Mos

where Mrs. Khrushchev's aides
served tea, chocolate and apples.
Most of the marchers did their
best to convince Mrs. Khrushchev
that, if the world refuses to dis

its armaments. Mrs. Khrushchev
declined to agree.
'We do not want to be the only

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. The West differs

Santa Fe said SP's talk of1
duplications "fell flat" because its
president, Donald J. Russell,
failed to propose any large-scale
eliminations of track. Southern
Pacific has offered 18 consolida
tion projects, but mainly of mod
est scale.
Russell had promised that if
Southern Pacific wins, Western
Pacific would be operated in ag

this assertion now sounds a lit

this claim had been "hammered

Needs New Home
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I live in
Port Elizabeth, South Africa, but
since human problems are the
same all over
the world, I
think you can
help me.
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.

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

had no sense of rhythm. The

I can still hear my mother yell

we want music -in our house we
turn on the radio or spin a few
records. Peace, it's wonderful.

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

Parents," enclosing with your re

Log Export
Talks Open
In Portland
PORTLAND. Ore. 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.
