Another North Carolinian professor checks in with Bob Cate writing from Recife, Brazil. "I am now associate professor of North Carolina State University as well as regional director of the International Soil Testing Project. Brazil now has a nationwide net of modern soil testing laboratories to tell the farmers how to fertilize and lime their lands. While I am not totally responsible for this, I at least catalyzed it, and it is generally considered a remarkably successful example of technical assistance. Meanwhile, Kitty has completed her book on The Carnaval Clubs of Recife and it will probably be published in 1967 by the Ministry of Education. The climate here is ideal: 85° maximum, 12° minimum, every day of the year. Come see us!"
