Rolscreening at Jack Boatsma’s office boosts color trials
A rainbow colored venetian blind fad grips the workshop as Rol screens trial new colors for permanent metal col ors. Rubber and metal channeling deliveries allow the reopens of the double glazing unit while workers return after illness. Erma’s department relaunched with cleaning and painting. Tulip Queen candidate Ruthie Vande Geest and diamond wearer Arlene Rietveld draw attention among shop staff. Orders for Rol screens and blinds stay strong, keeping pace with production as Dr Hoffman visits the plant. Spring fever is humorously noted by Ray Gus.

Not Enough Corn Planted To Acre In Iowa Trials
Iowa State agronomists L B Nelson and Lloyd Dum enil report two years of tests showing many farmers plant too few corn stalks per hill to maximize fertilizer use. Best yields occur with 4 to 8 stalks per hill on fertile soil, 3 to 4 on poorer land, though most fields average about 2.4. Ears shell out similarly regardless of stand, making total shelled corn per acre the key.
