CAPITOL LOSS CARRY-
Ladies, Let's Look
The strong feminine influ

home is increasingly obvious.
Today's new dwellings fea
ture striking innovations in
color and decoration, a variety
of conveniences and built-ins,
kitchens of remarkable beau
ty and functional value. Such
items have priority simply be
cause they are appealing to
ladies. By their actions, the
professionals leave little doubt
as to which member of the
family makes the final deci
sion on what to buy or build.
Os course, no one takes seri
ous issue with this line of ap
proach. After all. the ladies
spend far more time at home
than their husbands, and it’s
only right that they should

New Way Found
To Increase
Soybean Yield
A new production practice for
soybeans which may stimulate
yields per acre is being recom
mended to Georgia farmers by ag
ronomists of the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service.
Georgia’s average soybean
yields are low in comparison with
other states with large acreage.
This low yield, according to P. J.
Bergeaux, agronomist of the Ex
tension Service, has had a de
pressing effect on increasing soy
bean acreage in the state.
Recent research, he continued,
indicates that one of the factors
limiting yields in Georgia may be
molybdenum. In a series of ex
periments by University of Geor
gia Agronomists M. B. Parker
and H. B. Harris, soybean yields
were increased as much as 55
percent where molydenum was
applied without lime. There was
no response to molydenum when
two tons or more of lime were ap
plied per acre.
As a result of this research in
formation, molybdenum is now
recommended for soybeans.
The molybdenum. Mr. Bergeaux
said, should be applied at the rate
of one ounce of molybdenum salt
per acre as a seed treatment.
Molybdenum salts available on
the market are moly-gro. sodium
molybdate, ammonium moldbdate
and molybdic acid.
The agronomist said the salt
should be dissolved in sufficient
water to treat the amount of soy
beans to be planted A half-pint of
water per bushel of soybeans has
been used successfully, he added.
TH! COVINGTON NEWS
for 'Hidden Values
have the last word on choice of
environment.
The only unfortunate thing
is the feminine reluctance to be
bothered with less glamorous
aspects of the residential ana
tomy. Pipes, wiring, flashing]
and structural materials are |
scarcely exciting to the fair
sex. But if the ladies won't
take an active interest them
selves, they should at least
delegate the responsibility to
their husbands or else seek
professional appraisal. For
without quality in these cru
cial parts, the values that are
dearest to feminine hearts may
be sacrificed.
The average housewife is a
thrifty, conscientious soul with
a tidy disposition. She’s will
ing to work hard but welcomes
things that lighten her burden.
She keeps her rooms neat but
wants to avoid the trouble and
expense of “redoing” them
every couple of years. She
abhors squeaky floors, wrink
led wallpaper or cracks in the
ceiling. She loves air condi
tioning, but expects it to work
with maximum efficiency at
minimum cost.
Whether she gets what she
wants, or not, depends on
how well those obscure details
have been attended to.
Os special importance is the
quality of the framework that
holds her home together. Ac
cording to the Southern Pine
Association, the framework is
comparable to the human bone
structure. This “bone struc
ture.” must be strong and
healthy for the house complex
ion to remain smooth and un
blemished. Many other aspects
of livability are likewise at
stake.
Comifort, for example, is vi
tally affected. The average
housewife walks eight miles a
day, mostly in and around her
home. How well she endures
the strain depends on what’s
beneath the floors. Hard, un
yielding materials spell dis
comfort. The ideal ingredient
is wood whose blending of re
siliency with strength alleviates
the fatigue of excessive walk
ing.
Not just any kind of wood
will do. Only the stronger spe
cies, such as Southern Pine,
should be used and the lum
ber should be pre-shrunk by
proper seasoning. Strong, pre
shrunk lumber in the framing
system keeps the floors above
smooth and even without
squeakiness.
Other parts of the “bone
structure,” hidden between
walls and above ceilings, have
comparable impact on comfort
and financial security. In most
homes these invisible parts are
formed with lumber — even
when non-wood materials ap
pear on outer walls or roof. 1
Pre-shrunk lumber creates a
sub-surface character of tight
ness and stability that assures
lasting beauty on the surface.
Maintenance is minimized and
surface repairs are seldom, if
ever, needed. What's more—
the overall snugness of the
home provides the ideal cli
mate for low cost air and heat
I conditioning.
It’s not at all difficult to get
' the necessary assurances on
i these and other vital yardsticks
lof quality. Responsible build
ers and realtors welcome in
, quiries from informed buyers
as to “hidden values” with
which their homes are endow
ed. Chances are, they’ll be glad
to expound on the lumber
specifications and the quality
of the framing material. Pro
per seasiniug and "pre-shrink
ing” are regarded as so im
portant that the process has
been standardized in the pro
duction of Southern Pine fram
ing lumber.
