Textured Siding Gives
Character to House
A TEXTURED house siding
gives the building character
sometimes missing when unpat
terned boards are used. Rapidly
becoming a favorite because of
its rich texture is Masonite Ridge
line. a durable hardboard which
may be painted or stained to
bring out the handsome but sub
dued pattern.
This hardboard siding' has a
linear texture in a restrained
combed ridge effect.
Ridgeline panels are four feet
wide, one-quarter inch thick and
up to 16 feet long. This siding
also comes in strips for horizontal
application. Here the widths are
12’ and 16". Those desiring
shingle sizes also may have this
beautiful siding.
Used on exteriors in panel
form. Ridgeline may be installed
with or without battens.
The unusual texture of this
material has prompted its use by
interior decorators, who have
specified its application indoors
as accent walls or “interest
areas.”
Like Tempered Presdwood, the
new siding material has unusual
strength, durability and resist
ance to all types of weather. Its
versatility is making it a favorite
among builders.

should always be cooked with
enough water, and for a long enough
time to allow the starch to expand
properly. Cooking also softens the
starch and makes them more pala

SCIENCE on (he Flirt!
Recent advances in agricultural science are helping farmers
beat the squeeze caused by lower prices and higher costs,
t Farmers long have known that nitrogen is essential to plant
growth. But only recently has it s
become clear that enough molyb
denum, often called moly, must be
in the soil before nitrogen is con
verted to a form usable by crops.
At a top level conference at the
McCollum-Pratt Institute, Dr.
W. D. McElroy noted that a
farmer can expect a yield of three
tons of hay when he sows an
acre of alfalfa, but he won’t get
it unless adequate moly is avail
able.
Another agronomist, Alfred J.
Anderson, reported clover yields
up from nearly nothing to more
than three tons an acre after ap
plication of a few ounces of a moly
chemical.
Citrus growers have found that
the plant disease known as “yel
low spot” is nothing more than
molybdenum deficiency. Today
the disease is being controlled by
spraying the trees with just a few
ounces of soluble moly per acre.
Several other plant diseases
have been fought successfully
through the application of moly,
and county agents now know that
all crops require this essential
trace element. Indeed, because
moly is so inexpensive, many
farmers are using it as a kind of
insurance.
To farmers everywhere, the dis
covery of moly’s importance has
been a boon, for with such varied
crops as tobacco, tomatoes, celery,
sugar beets, peas, broccoli, alfalfa
and cauliflower, added moly has
meant the difference between
scanty and vigorous growth.

I Cocoa Farmers See Crop Processed Here i
Ten African Gold Coast cocoa bean farmers got their first look at a
(United States chocolate factory when they went through the huge Nestle
chocolate works at Fulton, N.Y. recently, and most of the plant’s 1,250_
employees got their first look at African cocoa growers in native dress.
The visitors were representatives of the 350,000 cocoa bean farmers in’
the Gold Coast and were taken on a three-continent tour by the Golds
Coast Cocoa Marketing Board. They came here to see how the crop they
grow is made into chocolate bars, beverage cocoa, candy coatings, choco*

Keeping Little Feet on the Ground
IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE OF MONTHS and a normal supply of
vitamins before the little tot you just brought home from the hospital
is flexing his muscles and taking off at high speeds for points un
known. His major enemy—the slippery fall. That’s why mothers today
! are buying sleepers made with Kiegel Safe-Soles. They keep baby
from slipping and put mother’s mind at ease. Riegel Safe-Soles have
tiny plastic dots in attractive baby pink, red, mint, yellow, white,
aqua, green or blue, that grip the floor under baby’s feet, holding him
firmly and securely. Garments with Safe-Soles may be machine-^
washed and dried. Look for these soles when buying new sleepers for
your baby. By Kiegel Textile Corp., 260 Madison Aw, N. Y. C.
Sun Lover’s Secret
i .'.vs WN
BATHING SUITS OF YESTERYEAR covered a multitude of sins.
A less than perfect figure or complexion could be hidden beneath the
voluminous bloomers, long black hose of a chic bathing beauty of ths"
early 1900’s. But today’s swim and sun suits demand that you—all of
you—be at your best. There’s great news for sunners and swimmers
J with skin blemishes, large or small. A medically proven cream—used
and recommended by doctors—can make the big difference when you
take to the sun. Waterproof Covermark by Lydia O’Leary is a com
pletely moisture-resistant cream that performs real skin magic before
your eyes. It’s especially effective for covering relatively large areas
like unsightly broken veins, brown and white spots, burns, scars, skin 1
eruptions—even birth mark3. Smoothed on like a fine make-up, it’s
insurance that your legs and body—all blemishes hidden—will be in *
the “long-stemmed American Beauty” class. Spot-stick, the same '
product in convenient stick form, is a beach boon too—a lifesaver for I
quick cover-ups of sudden skin eruptions or redness. These two prod- J
ucts will keep all your complexion secrets and help you take your]
rightful place in the sun. Both by Lydia O’Leary—available in shades
to match every skin color—at department and better drug stores. -—J
