New Magic Powder Changes
Tired Land to Rich, Virgin Soil

from a better soil that holds much
more water, more air and is easy
to cultivate.
This powder does the same thing
as peat moss and composts. Un-
like them. bacteria doesn't eat il
and it lasts many times longer.
1t is cheaper. Two pounds of
powder does the soil work of 200
pounds of peat moss or 500 pounds
of commercial compost.
The synthetic was made by a
team of Monsanto Chemical Co.
scientists after years of study to
solve a puzzle of an Indiana farm
where one plot was much more
fertile than others which had the
same richness in fertilizers. Soil
structure was the difference.
In announcing the. discovery
DR.. c. A. Hochwalt, vice president
of the Monsanto Co., said the

that go pounds of the powder,
costing $120, would treat one acre
and that it's effect might last for

CAIRO. Egypt. Dec. 29.-British

agreed on a 6-mile-wide no-man's
land between their respective
troops along the Cairo-Suez road,

Behind this, the Egyptians have
strong forces guarding the ap-
proaches to Cairo. On the other
side, the nearest British army
checkpoint is some 56 miles east
of Cairo.
Gen. Sabour said the no-man's-
land was established after a Brit
ish patrol approached within a
mile of an Egyptian outpost. The
Egyptians were about to attack
the patrol, Gen. Sabour said. but
an incident was avoided when the
Egyptian commander got in con-
tact with Gen. Sir George Erskine,
the British commander in the
Suez. and the patrol withdrew.
Police authorities in the capi-
tai. meanwhile. got orders from
the Ministry of Interior to dis
perse would-be demonstrators "by

prevent a repetition of anti-Brit-
ish violence earlier this week.

IN APPLE SEASON

This year the press and radio
are emphasizing the use Of apples.
The 1851 crop is unusually large
and the cost is reasonable. The
frequent, use of apples is recon-
mended before prices are increased
due to storage costs. 1t has been
encouraging TO see the acceptance
of this by restaurants and home
makers.
While the food value of apples is
not so high as many other fruits,
their great adaptability maintains
their place as one of the favOrites.
Women have said that meal prep
aration is a pleasure as long as
apples and bacon are available.
In using apples do keep in mind
that the skin is a valuable part.
Use this wherever possible and
encourage your family TO eat it.
If you own a gadget called a blend
er or liquidizer, apple sauce may
be made in this by removing the
stem and core and chOpping the
pieces, including the skin. No
cooking is necessary. Small
amounts of lemon or orange rind
add to the flavor.
Lemon or orange rind add to the
flavor of apple sauce. Prepare the
sauce in the usual way cooking the
rind with the apples. Have you
served steWed apples this season?
They make a delicious dessert if
served with top milk.
A faYOrite of ours which we
should like to see more people en-
Joy is:
Apple Crumble Pudding
/ cup -four
y cup butter or margarine
u cup sugar( white or brown
apples a cups. pared and
sliced)
Blend the -four, butter, and sugar
with a pastry blender or the fng-
ers to form a crumbly mass. Slice
the apples into a shallow oiled
baking dish, cover with. the -four
mixture. Bake in a moderate over
(3759F) until the apples are tender
and the crust brown or about a
minutes. Serve with top milk OF
hot lemon sauce.
For your baked apples. brown
sugar or maple syrup are nice
changes.
So by adding interest to Oul
meals at this season, we can aiC
in relieving a surplus crop of ap
pies.

Lumber Supplies Ample
For Building Needs

Supplies of lumber and most
other building materials are ample
to meet the current demand for
housing and other purposes, Clyde
A. Fulton, president of the Nation
al Retail Lumber Dealers Associa-
ton, stated Saturday.
Retail dealers inventories gen.
orally are as high or higher than
at this time in 1850 because of
heavy production in the first half
Of the year." Mr.. Fulton said.
There are some local shortages
Of building products containing
steel, copper, and aluminium, but
the supply nationally is sufficient
TO meet builders requirements.
"The overall demand for pro-
ducts containing critical materials
has been reduced somewhat by the
National Production AuthOTity's
regulations restricting commercial
and industrial construction, leaving
a relatively larger amount for resi-
Dental and farm construction.
In building homes and other
smaller buildings, contractors
should have no trouble in ObLaining
enough heavy lumber to replace
structural steel, which cannot be
used without specific permi ssion
after September 80.
I'm the immediate future. the
shortage Of mortgage funds rather
than any scarcity Of building ma
terials will be the dominant fac
tor in determining how much hous-
ing and other light construction will
be undertaken.
Owners who do not find il nee
essary to borrow funds and whose
plans do not require more mater
ials than are permitted under
NPA's self-certifcation plan should
experience no difficulties in carry.
