Other minor elements such as sodium, fluorine, iodine, silicon, stronitium and barium do not
seem to be universally essential, as are the seventeen already cited, although the soluble
compounds on some may increase crop growth.

ELVERSON, Pa. - Many of
the classrooms at Twin
Valley High School and
Middle School are just a little
bit more colorful because of
the generosity of Dutch
Wonderland and the efforts
of the Twin Valley FFA. For
the past several years FFA
members have obtained
geraniums from the Caer
narvon Township Municipal
Building in Morgantown,
potted them, and placed
them in classrooms. This
year Caernarvon Township
used petunias in a Bicen
tennial theme, so FFA
members arranged to obtain
plants from Dutch Won
derland in Lancaster. Im
mediately preceeding the
hard freeze of several week
ago, Tom Enle and Ron
Frederick, FFA advisors at
Twin Valley, journeyed to
Dutch Wonderland to obtain
plants. Over 80 different
plants were obtained, in
cluding many types of wax
begonias, coleus, geraniums,
impatiences, and dusty
millers.
The following day FFA
members potted the plants
and began to care for them.
As the plants recovered from
the shock of being planted,
they were distributed to
various classrooms.
Members of the plant
science class have now
assumed reponsibility for
caring for them, and will
take cuttings from them.
