Farming in the City
Advantages Of Deep Spadins
on GroUing Carrots.

The advantage Of deep spadinE and
thorough advance preparation of the
soil becomes apparent in the carrot
bed. says to-days garden lesson sup
piled by the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission. OF Washington.
The carrot root. which Is the part
eaten. tries to grow straight down
into the soil. If it meets a stiff, pack
cd subsoil few inches down 1t can
not penetrate ii. and the root will
either split or become otherwise mis-
shapcn and gnarlcd Soil that has been
worked. however. enables the carrot
10 grow shapely.
The carrot is an early crop and cas-
lily grown after il gets started
But the carrot seeds arc small and the
young plants are weak. SO the seeds
should not be planted deeply. half
inch being enough. 1t is necessary to
keep dirt crust from forming over
the seeds after they are planted so
1t becomes desirable to mix few
radish seeds in with the carrot seed.
inc radisheS grow quickly and not
only mark the rows so that YOU can
90 over them with n garden rake and
break up any crust, but also aid in
breaking the crust and letting the
tender carrot shoots come through,
one ounce of carrot seed is enough
to SOW 100 feet of row. They should
be sown rather thickly together, and,
after the plants come up. thinning by
pulling out plants is not necessary un-
less they are crowdinS each other.
Small carrots have better flavor than
large ones. SO that they can grow six
or seven TO the foot in the row with
out injury. Make the rows one foot
apart.
The carrot is slow grower matur-
ing in eight to ten weeks after plant
ing. y continuous supply of them can
be guaranteed by making new plant
ings every three weeks or rs late rs
August Is, although in hot. dry
weather they must be watered
Carrots may he pulled while still
small: begin when they arc about half
an inch in diameter at the top Of the
root.

Committee Expected Later to Report
Ordinance Placing Flat City Tax

City Streets.

What is regarded as one OF the most
important picocs of local tax lcgisla
tion contemplated by the City Council
VIII come up for adoption at special
meeting OF the lower branch to be
held at o'clock Tonight It is de-
scribed AS AN ordinance to amend and
reordan chapter 10. Richmond city
Code. 1910. concerning the lcvying Of
taxes
The prime aim OF the measure.
winch has been recommended for
adoption by The Finance Committee. is
TO place "a license tax OH all sources
which have IN the past managed to
evadc payment because OF faulty laws.
Many professional men, doctors. law
ycrs and artists. not salaried en-
be hit IL the ordinance is passed.
Agents. architects. title examiners
massage practitioners. surveyors. civil
and mechanical engineers are a few
OF the professions specified. The tax
which the ordinance in It's present
form prcscribes is $40 on the first
$1,000 of income. and per cent per
annum in excess OF that sum. Solici-
tors and certified public accountants
would pay 500 on the first $1,000 of
earnings. and ] per cent on all in ex-
cess of that sum. In other words, the
object Of the Finance Committee has
been to levy n tax on all persons en-
gagged in business which does not
necessitate the keeping of set OF
books The tax is virtually an income
tax OF per cent on all such classes
Of business and professional people.
EXEMPTION ron GOODS

II the ordinance becomes law. vio-
lators will be liable to a fine Of from
$40 TO $3.50. to be collected by the
Police Justice. Nothing in the ordi-
nance. under TITS terms. will he con-
strucd 10 require license tax OF any
local merchant for advertising his own
goods when they are originally manu-
featured in this city and displayed
upon his own property.
The measure was reported to the
Common Council at its regular meet
ing on April by the Finance Com
mittee, but because of it's Importance
II was laid on the table and ordered
to be printed for the information Of
Councilmen. The ordinance has never
been publicly read, and Its purport was
first made public by The Times-Dis-
patch.
The Finance Committee has been un-
able to make any estimate as to what
the additions! revenue derived under
the new ordinance would amount to-
However. 1t is believed that it would
be ample to make up tho deficit in the
city's income caused by the climina-
ton Of the liquor taxes and adverse
legal rulings. which have cost Rich
mond hundreds of thousands OF dollars
in it's annual revenue.
II is learned from source Of au-
thority that. in addition to this ordI-
nance, the Finance Committee will
shortly recommend for adoption a
measure which would put fiat tax
of 81 on each automobile operated In
the city. BY this it is hoped to swell
the city's income by about $4,000. as
sumng that there are 10000 motor
cars in Richmond
