Special Paints Curb Mildew

Special paints that prevent the
growth of mildew are Of great inn
portance in food factories. To deter
mine the efficiency of this type OF
coating, one test was made n a
pickle factory. First, the ceiling Of
a storage room was washed and the
mildew present was destroyed with
special chemicals. Then, part cot
the ceiling was painted with two
coats Of mildew-resistant paint.
Another part was coated with regu.
lar paint. Growth of mildew, it was
found, was prevented by use of the
special paint.

Flooding d rice field requires
about six gallons of water per min
ute per acre. In other words, a well
or other irrigation system pro-
ducing 600 gallons of water per
minute will irrigate 100 acres of
rice. When the rice is ready to
harvest, the fields are drained so
that the harvesting machinery can
move in. An important trend in
United States rice farming has been
the Shift from the old-fashioned
binder-thresEer method of harvest
to the modern, high-speed combine
drier method.

They've had the upper hand In the market
ever since highs for several years we're
established December 10.
Trends were rather confused in the
short session and did not seem to have
much significance. The hrmest cereal
was wheat, which rose slightly toward
the close. Most bean contracts also
staged a mild rally late after having tum-

Public Housing Bonds
Get Better Reception
Than Previous Issues
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. ls.-Ad-
|vanees Of fractions to a point in
a sizeable group Of rails kept the
bond market pointing generally
higher in today's short session.
There were scattered losers in all
major groups but minus signs
mostly were under a point. Sales
of $750,000 compared with $770,-
900 last Saturday.
Investors got their third crack
this week at the multi million
dollar public financing authorized
by Congress to spur demolition of
slums and construction of low
rent housing.
And dealers said they expect
another big public housing bond
f1otation soon-perhaps in March
or April.
Financial circles are pretty
much in agreement that the in
vestor response to this weeks
$133, ,786, 900 issue was better than
that which greeted the first two
big offerings in July and October
last year.
In any event. the 81 local pub
lie housing authorities issuing the
bonds got a better break this year.
The demand as reflected in the
winning bids was such that it
will cost them substantially less
to borrow the money.
The market for Government
loans showed signs of picking up
this week, but sagged a little at
the finish. The net change up to
Friday night was generally on the
plus side except for the bank eligi-
BILE 21as of September 1972-67.
The restricted 21as of June and
December 1972-76 each gained
