TREES FOR GROVE

In selecting trees for grove it is
important to choose varieties that
will grow rapidly and make abundant
shade so as to shade the ground and
smother the weeds without cuitiva-
zion. This is the recommendation by
C. w. Waldron of the North Dakota
Agricultural College. He states that
the ordinary gray or white will ow will
accomplish this in a shorc time, and
that it should be planted alone as oth-
er trees do not do we'll when mixed
with the willow.
The ash makes an excellent grove
tree. It will also do well in light dry
soil on which willow and some other
trees are not adapted. The boxelde,

pADOO'S STATEMENT.

New York Nov 25-Soft coal
mine owners made shocking and in
defensible" profits in 1917 and there
is grave doubt" that they are en-
titled to increased prices because of
the proposed 81 per cent increase in
miners wages, William G. McAdoo,
former Secretary of the Treasury,
declared yesterday in a telegram to
Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield.
The owners profits as shown by their
income tax returns examined by him
as Secretary of the Treasury in 1918,
he said, showed earnings on capital
stock ranging from Is to 1000 per
cent.
Il am convinced that the wage in
creases proposed for the mine work
ers are just and reasonable" he stat
ed. Before deduction of excess profit
taxes, which were less in 1917 than
now, these income tax returns show
ed that earnings of 100 to 800 per
cent on capital stock were not un-
common" Mr. .McAdoo's telegram as
serted.
Referring to the bituminous mine
owners income tax returns for 1918,
which he said he had not seen, the
telegram said:
eff they disclose any such profits
as earned by the bituminous coal op-
orators in 1917, it would be grave
wrong to permit the operators to take
from the public additional profits in
the form of increased prices for btu
minous coal"
Mr.. McAdoo urged that no increase
prices of coal to consumers be al
lowed and that the income tax ne
turns of the soft coal mine owners be
made public.

NO REASON FOR SUGAR
SHORTAGE, HE STATES

New York, Nov. 24-Asserting
that there was no real reason why a
sugar shortage should exist here, Ar
thur Williams, Federal food admin
istrator, declared today that he was
going to investigate reports of short
ages and learn he cause of them. His
repors, he explained showed that the
refneries in this district were turn
ing out more than enough to supply
the normal demand
Any attempt to hoard sugar in the
expectation of getting a higher
price after the rst of the year will
be futile, he said, because the gov
ernment will control the price for
another year. He advised hoarders
of sugar to get rid of it quickly "for
if we find it, we will get it out of
their cellars within "a hours"

NATIVE TERRACE is THE
BEST ONE FOR STATE

Raleigh, Nov. 25.-The broad-base
graded-ridge terrace, known as the
Mangum terrace, is the best type of
terrace for North Carolina condition,
says Mr. H. M. Lynde of the North
Carolina extension service. 1t is we'll
adapted to all types of soil and on
slopes up to II or Is feet to the
hundred. Some of the advantages of
the Mangum type, as given by this
drainage expert, are erosion, which
is reduced to a minimum in the ter
race channel by carrying the water
off the field in a broad, shallow sheet
at a low velocity, and average soils
are not washed much in broad-ter-
race channels where the fall does
not exceed 6 inches in 100 feet. 1t
is recommended that this fall never
be exceeded.
The Mangum terrace is broad
bank of earth about 20 feet wide at
the base with gently sloping sides.
The top of the terrace should be
from Is to 20 inches higher than
the bottom of the channel above the
terrace. It can be cultivated and can
be crossed readily by large farm ma
chinery without injury to the terrace
