to have demonstrated the fact that the Spreck-
les refinery is fully controlled and protected
by the American Sugar Refining Company,
both on raw sugar and on refined, and that
whenever the Spreckles' refinery has a surplus
product accumulated, the other Philadelphia
refners must step aside until it is disposed OF,
or suffer the consequences of a serious decline
in the market. If this theory is correct, and
it certainly is very plausible, the wholesale
grocers can take a point from it.
The price of granulated at 4c. less two per
cent cash, say 1920 was for a day as low as it
has ever been, and this fact has been heralded
throughth the length and breadth ofthe land, show
ing what wide interest is the subject of sugar
in the United States.
AS the shareholders of the American Sugar
Refining Company do not understand the varl-
GUS ms and outs, combinations and arrange
ments known only to the insiders, the stock
naturally suffered to the extent of several per
cent, and makes the previously expected adj
vance in it somewhat more uncertain while the
profits are subject to such erratic conditions.
The raw market did not change its strength,
though subject to d~ullness, which, in turn,
gave place to activity and strength, resulted
in a marked advance of 1c. per pound to ) =
16c. for 90 deg. centrifugals
The European markets have been steady to

PLANT COLOR AS A SOIL TEST.

Georges Vile, the French agricultural inves-
tigator, contends that there is q constant rela-
tionship existing between the color of the grow
ing plant and the composition of the soil. That
is to say, a plant in a soil containing p~hosphor-
io acid. potash and nitrogen in sufficient guam
titles and in available form will show a certain
green color. The same plant, if either one of
these three elements is in insufficient quantity,
or in a form not available to the plant in the
soil, will show quite a different green. The
kind of green indicates whether it is potash or
phosphoric acid or nitrogen that is mainly want
ing to the soil. He maintains, on the strength of
experiments extending over a period Of five
wears. that the absence of nitrogen manifests
itself by a yellowish green, the absence of pot
ash By a pale green, and the absence of phos-
phoric acid by a green much lighter in shade
than the color of a healthy and well-nourished
plant. If this holds true, then the farmer is in
a position to know what composition of the
three elements of plant food will be required
for any particular crop and soil, and the agricul-
tural scientist will be placed in a position to give
with much more certainty sound and reliable
,advice as regards fertilizers.
1t is admittedly very difficult, even with the
aid Of the soil analyses to tell exactly what a
soil requires for a particular crop. Now if the
plants by their color furnish, so to speak, a
natural fertilizer barometer, a decided step for
ward would be made. Mr.. Ville's conclusions
will be viewed askance, as were his nitrogen
experiments, but a set of very simple expert
ments would settle this important question. A
few Vegetation vessels filed with a soil of
known composition and given respectively ad-
ditional quantities of ~phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen would establish the variety Of
color recurring on one and the same plant by
the absence Of one or the other element. An
experienced eye would soon be able to tell
from the color a field Of wheat, corn, barley
and oats presents to the eye what the soil
needs principally. Every farmer knows that
the same wheat on two different fields may

NEW YORK LETTER.

Editor louisiana Planter Tn e notable feat
ure OF the sugar market for the week under
review has been the discus sion caused by the
sharp decline in refined sugar, noted IN our
] asst letter, Just at the close of business. This
d ecIine occurred right in the face OF a strong
and improving raw market, and at the begin
nlng OF the harvest season Tor rehners. AS the
Spreckles' refinery led the decline by keeping
l8 cents below all others, much gossip was IN
duIged III by the trade as to the existing rela-
tons between the Sprecklcs and the American
Sugar Rifning Company. While their acts
tend to show competition ON, yet the general
opinion is that every cut made by the Spreck-
les is by consent of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company.
The most plausible theory advanced during
the discussion of the week is somewhat as
follows That under the mutual agreements
made in San Francisco, an arrangement was
included protecting the Spreckle's refinery IN
Philadelphia in their purchases OF raw sugar,
and guaranteeing them also a market tor their
refined product. 1t is a somewhat singular
TACT that the Spreckle's refinery generally re-
CURES an advantage of l-16c. under the prices
OF all other refners in order to dispose OF their
product, to say nothing of the accumulatlng
surplus.
For Sc veral weeks the American Sugar Re-
timing Company held the price of granulated
at 44c., and permitted the Spreckles to sell at
Lice. less, but as the other Philadelp hia ref
ners also sold at the same price as the Spreck-
les, the latter accumulated a surp lus OF some
$4,000 barrels, which under their arrangement
1T became necessary fol the Am erican Sugar
refining Company to give them a market for.
But the market could only be found by putting
the Spreckle's price at Lice. below other Phi
Iadelphla rehners. The American Sugar Rein
ing Company, therefore, started to find the
price at which the other Philadelphians would
stop competition. First the American Sugar
Refining Cnmpany reduced their price 3c. to
4Bc. and the Spreckles to 4 Lice. This cut
was Immediately followed by The other Phila-
delphians to 4 Lice. Then the American Su-
gar Refining Company put the price of their
granulated to 4 Lice. and the Spreckles to
&c. The American Sugar Refining Company
evidently expected that other Philadelphians
would go DC. and gave the brokers encourage
ment to accumulate orders at &c. for the fol-
lowing day.
But the other Philadelphians evidently saw
The point arrived at by the American Sugar Re-
.fning Company, accepted the situation, stop
ped competing, gave Spreckles the market at
4c. resulting in the disposal of his 6O,O 900
barrels surplus, after which he returned to the
prices of the other ~refners, and all hands in
Philadelphia have since advanced TO. to 4sIls
C. for granulated. The event, however, seems
