FINE POINTS IN SPADING.
How to Do It So That the Home-Food
Plot Will Be a Success.

Plowmen and teams are scarce
around cities and the smaller garden
plots can often be spaded to much
greater advantage than they can be
plowed. Where there are a group OF
community gardens located on clear
plot of ground, they can often be
plowed together, and thus considerable
labor is saved. But the small garden
plots, especially those in back yards,
must be spaded. A considerable area
can be spaded if the work is done a
little at a time so that it does not be-
come tiresome. A good job of spading
will always put the land in better con
dition than blowing, but there are a
few points in connection with good
spading that should be thoroughly UNI
derstood. United States department Of
agriculture specialists explain them as
follows:
In the first place, the land should
never be turned when it is extremely
wet The plowman's test Is to squeeze
together a handful of freshly turned
earth and if it sticks together in a
ball with the imprint of the hand upon
IL. it is too wet for blowing or spad-
ing But if it crumbles when the pres
sure is released. the soil may be con
sidered dry enough to spade or plow
Second. do not turn the land up in
large. spadefuls. Begin at one side OF
The plot and work back and forth across
the plot, maintaining a straight line,
cutting the soil in thin spadefuls and
turning it completely over. If the soil
does not crumble readily, use the edge
Of the spade and break up each spade
ful Immediately after it is turned. For
this work the ordinary square pointed

SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN U. S.
100000 Tons More Consumed in 1919
Than in 1918.

New York, March ll.--Net earnings
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany for 1919 aggregated $l5,250,6l9,
against $l7,5s7,4 in the preceding
year, according to the annual report
of the company issued to-day. The
volume of business for 1919 amounted
to S300,000,000 an increase of about
Sl00,000.000 over 1918, but the operat-
ing profit, according to the eompany's
statement, remained at about 3 per
cent.
The statement also declared that the
company's share of business in the
United States has decreased from go
per sent in 1900 to q per cent in 1919,
and business of its competitors has
shown a corresponding increase.
Statistics accompanying the report
state that consumption of sugar in the
United States for 1919 exceeded 4,000,-
900 tons for the first time. This is
100000 tons more than 1918 and 200,-
600 tons more than 1918, the highest
previous year.

TAX LOSS HALF BILLION.
Due to Supreme Courts Decision as to
Stock Dividends.

Washington, d. G., March 10. The
loss to the government a. a result Of
the supreme courts decision declaring
stock dividends not taxable as income
will be nearly half a billion dollars,
according TO an estimate yesterday
by Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Roper,
With some four million dividend re-
turns on the bureaus file il will take
months to make an accurate estimate
as to the effect of the decision, Mr.
Roper said, but a hasty search indicates
that S70.000,O00 paid in 1917 and 1918
will have to be returned while the loss
in uncollected taxes in 1919 will be
$l00,000,O00 and that for 1920 $500,
100000
Some of this loss, the commissioner
said, would be offset by the tax on
stock sales. Mr. Roper emphasized that
estimates Of the governments loss are
not official and that the loss might
be found to be larger than now esti-
mated.

In His Charges Made in the

self Against Attacks

Paris. March ll.-President Wilson S
charges against France, made in the
letter he sent early this week to Sen
ator Hitchcock, are said by "Pertinax,"
political editor Of the Echo de Paris, to
'be aimed at France by name, but at
Marshal Foch by implication
"The so.called imperialism of
France says the writer, in discussing
Mr.. Wilson's letter, consists in the
conviction, fortified by all the lessons
of history, that, to guarantee herself
against attacks from central Europe,
she must hold the Rhine bridgehead.'
In the course of his article, "Perti-
max" saws President Wilson went TO
the session of the supreme council on
Nav 20, 1919, much perturbed, and
read to Premiers Clemenceau and
Lloyd George letter from Pierrepont
B. Noyes, American member OF the
Rhneland commission, who declared
the agreement reached on May Il for
the administration of the Rhineland
was more brutal than its authors
themselves would desire, as it provided
for intolerabIe oppression of six mil
lion inhabitants of the region during
many years" Mr. Noyes letter added
that American officers with whom he
had discussed the question strongly
supported his view, and was accompa
MED by q plan of occupation involving
a minimum of military domination, it
is said
This plan" the article asserts, was
nothing more or less than the conven-
tion providing for occupation of the
Rhineland signed with Germany at Yer
saillcs on June Is, 1919, because Presi-
dent Wilson was able at the meeting
of May 20 to impose the views of Mr..
Moves on the supreme council"
: The writer declares Marshal Foch, in
discussing the plan evolved by this
commission, said: "The Germans asked
for an imperial commission officer and
they were given not only commits

mission. which is much more than they
claimed.
