But what causes the dirty-lookmg discoloration on outside painted walls, well out of the reach of sticky-fingered children? A look under a microscope may show that some of that “dirt” is actually mildew, says Delaware extension building specialist Ernest Walpole. Mildew is a black discoloration caused by a fungal growth on the stain. You can recognize active mildew under a microscope or high-powered magnifying glass by its thread-like growth. A simpler test to distinguish mildew from dirt is to apply of few drops of household bleach to the stain. Mildew should bleach out m a few minutes. Mildew needs moisture to grow. It occurs both inside and outside of houses. Outside it is most common behind trees and shrubs where air movement is restricted, and also on areas where dew forms first and stays longest. These are areas that cool off rapidly, that are unheated, and that are protected from direct sunlight. Some paints are more suscep tible than others to mildew attack. Considering pigments, zinc oxide inhibits mildew, whereas titanium dioxide has very little inhibiting WE HAVE A COMPLETE CORN AND SOYBEAN LIQUID BLEND FERTILIZER PROGRAM FOR YOU ALSO A FULL LINE OF CHEMICALS FOR SPRING SPRAYING.

FFA convention opens Monday NJ. Stained paint isn’t always dirt effect. With oil-base paints mildew attacks extenor flat paint more severely than extenor enamel. Paints containing linseed oil are Very susceptible to mildew. Of the water-based paints, acrylic latex is fairly resistant to mildew. Porous latex paints are affected severely. Mildewcides can be added to most paints by either the manufacturer or the paint dealer. Mildewcides are poisonous to the mildew fungus. For best mildew resistance, choose a pamt with some natural resistance and add a mildewcide. There is no point in painting over mildew-discolored pamt unless you kill the mildew. Use a sponge or bristle brush and rubber gloves to scrub the affected surface with a solution made of one-third cup of detergent, one quart of household bleach, and three quarts of water. Do not mix bleach with a detergent containing ammonia; the fumes of the resultant mixture would be . poisonous. When the surface is mildew-free, rinse with a hose. Let dry and paint immediately with a resistant pamt containing added mildewcide. A cleaned surface can be recon* laminated if left several days before repainting. For new wood or bare spots use a recommended Grant Walton, Dean of Cook College According to State FFA Executive Secretary, John K Grover, agricultural proficiency and other awards will be presented to outstanding members, and chapters will receive Superior Chapter. Safetj and Building Our American Communities awards. Garden State Degrees will be conferred upon 32 FFA members who have qualified for the highest state degree as a result of their occupational and leadership achievements. - In addition to student recognition, several adults and groups are to be cited for their service to the FFA. Six adults will receive the Honorary Garden State primer containing a mildewcide before applying the finish coat of pamt. Blue stain is the common name for another microscopic fungus that attacks wood below the pamt. If the wood is wet the fungus will be active and the blue stain will discolor or show through the pamt. Dry-wood may contain blue stain fungi with no ill effects. As long as the moisture content remains below 20 percent the fungus 'will remain inactive. Active blue stain problems generally indicate a moisture problem. Water may be coming from ram, roof leaks, leaks around windows, or it may be the result of excessive moisture inside the house working its way through the walls. Household bleach may remove the surface staining but it is not a permanent cure. For that, the cause of the moisture problem must foe ehmnated, says Walpole.' To repamt after blue stain, first remove the old pamt and let the surface dry. Apply a water repellent preservative, then cover. • Made of 13 gauge Steel • All welded seams • Gravity Flow or Auger Free Estimates Also - Steel Roof Trusses for buildings - Portable Hog Buildings - Bucket Elevators - Grain Augers Distributors - Flow Pipes & Accessories We-Sell, Service & Install Ph: 215-944-7808 STOLTZFUS WELDING SHOP Owner - Samuel P.

The only solution, according to Walpole, may be to countersink the nails, caulk the holes, and spot prime before repainting. For new construction or repairs, prevention is the best policy. Use non-corroding nails such as high quality galvanized, or stainless steel. The knots'of many softwood species contain large .amounts of Jennifer A. Sliker, Cahfon. Fifty 'official delegates from each of the 25 chapters in the state will represent 1,715 members in voting on business. According to Robert J. Graham, State President, delgates vote upon constitutional changes, program of work, program of events, leadership training programs, chapter status, contest changes, and election of officers. National FFA Vice President Glenn Caves- will address the , convention, Tuesday, June 23. The major emphasis of his speech will be increasing membership and participation in FFA activities at all levels. Glen was elected at the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Mo., last November. resin. If the resin hasn’t been by high-temperature kiln drying, it' can form a brown stain that bleeds through the paint. To cure this problem, remove the existing paint, apply a good oil-base primer, and then a finish coat. The old practice of applying shellac over the knots is no longer recommended as this has been found to result in early paint failure. As with rust, prevention is the best policy for dealing with resin stain. The problem seldom occurs when kiln-dried lumber is used.
