RI. L. Wilson. president, attribute d
the company's disappointing result last
year to large inventories and commit
ments at high prices due to orders
placed in 1920 in anticipation Of con
tinued good business Another i'm
portant factor was the readiustment
o. operating expenses incident TO a
business of $44,00O,0OO in 1920 and
$18,000,000 in 1921.
As Of December 81, 1921, Mr.. Wilson
said that all commitments and invcn-
tories had been written down to actual
replacement value and adequate re.
serves established in order that a
true picture Of the situation might
be hsd and conservative statement
Of the company's assets obtained"
The net charges to surplus account
amounted to s1O.920,S44, which, com
bined with the operating loss, caused
a reduction of s15,599,470 in the com

profit, after depreciation and rebates
due to price revisions, of 1886, 467.
The write-off of inventories in order to
place them on market basis and the
creation of reserves against commit
mcnts prior to June 80, 1921, amounted
to s8,390,455.
To the net profit was added S9,s45,
the excess provision for 1920 Federal
taxes, and S989.811 from adjustments
arising from the reduction of capital
stock account incidental to the change
of common stock to no par value, and
from other steps taken under the plan
of July 90, 1921, under which the
Federal Rubber Company and the
Ninigret Company were acquired. The
capitalization of the company was re-
adju-ted by the issuance of S10000,000
first mortgage bonds, the increase OF
its preferred and common stocks and
the change of its common stock to no
par value.

Compares With a Profit of
ST 1902, ,133 in 1920:
President Dccvics Govern
meni Attempt al DcconsroI

Inc American Sugar Refining Com
pany as result Of the depression IN
the sugar industry, suffered loss from
operations in 1921 of S2,l7727G. There
was an operating profit in 1890 Of ST.
So2 ,43S and in 1919, the postwar year
of imitation, profits were $102833, ,OS2.
Surplus WIS drawn upon last year TO
the extent of S5,311,3 ,36S to meet oper-
ating losses md to provide for divi-
dends Of $t,724,977 paid on the pre-
ferred and common stocks After pay
ment of dividends the deficit amounted
to S5,311 1868 against a deficit of $40
6S6,2S in 1920. The larger final deficit
in 1920 was caused through the setting
aside of a sundry reserve of $10,195,-
S12 and $4,000 900 for depreciation.
Last year no reserves were set up for
either of those items.
The annual report, issued to stock
holders yesterday, disclosed that in
come from investments last year to-
lS5 in 1920. Included in this item were
dividends from the Central Cunagua
Company of $2,536, ,5O6 The rcport did
not say what profits the company made
in 1921, but pointed out it was one OF
the few companies in Cuba to make a
profit out of its production.
Iotal income from investments was
reduied to a net of 81 ,590,SS5 because
of an interest loss of 81 033 500 and a
loss on the salo of Investments aggre-
eating 81 ,4S9,3 ,3lO The company's profit
and loss surplus at the end of 1921 was
S7154, 400. compared with $12,4G5,858
at the end of 1920 Sundry reserves
were $21 ,S55, BAL, against S33,562, ,231.
Earl d. Babst, president of the COM
pany, informed stockholders in the re-
port that last years operating losses
were the result Of steadily declining
prices and that, aside from 1920, the
year 1921 was without parallel in the
history Of the company.
The total tonnage of the company
equaled that of the year before and the
volume of business amounted to Sl4O,-
600 900. compared with S35O,OO0, 900 in
1920. The sum of $1l,706,6S9 was used
from reserves set up in former years
to meet bad account and inventory
losses
Mr.. Babst, in his remarks to stock
holders, dccried the attempt of the
government to decontrol the American
sugar industry and declared that pro
ducers and refiners had almost paid
with their life for government expert
ments OF control and decontrol."
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany at the close of 1921 had cash Of
S5,S17,580, against $s,839 ,932 the year
before. Bills and raw sugar drafts
payable were S30,629 900, contrasted
with S27,150 600 Profit and loss sur
plus at the end of the year amounted
to $7,154,4 ,490, compard with S12,465,S5s
at tn end of 1920.

STOMACH WORMS
IN MOST sheep

Lexington, Ky, May 29-
Practically every flock OF sheep
in Kentucky is infested with
stomach worms, ACCORDING 20 l..
]. Horlacf1er in charge Of sheep
work at the College of Agrlcui-
ture. However. by using proper
preventive measures farmers can
keep the infestation from be
coming very serious and send
their lambs to market in prime
condition, he pointed out.
''On the Kentucky Agricultnr-
al Experiment Station farm VIC
have found that rotation Of pas
lures is one of the best means OF
prevention. Whenever coss:i.ie,
ewes and lambs are changed to
fresh pastures every two weeks
from the first OF June u;,til the
lambs are marketed. It has been
found that if the pastures are
kept in good condition: the in
fe5tation will not be as serio:!s
as it is il the grass is kept crop
ped short.
Rape. oats clover a 70 vctci:
all make excellent crops for al
ternating with permanent blue
grass pastures. Lambs which
are kept free from the worms by
these preventive measures will
be ready for market much earlier
than those which are troubled
with them"
"If the sheep become infested
with worms they must be drench
ed, copper sulphatc, commonly
known as bluestone, being best
for this. One-fourth of a pound
Of the pulverized material is dis
solved in pint Of boiling water
and enough water added to make
three gallons. This is sufficient
to drench 100 adult animals, each
one being given three and one
hall ounces or seven level table
spoonsful. Lambs receive hall
this amount. 1t is necessary to
keep the sheep off iced for Y
hours before drcnchin& and care
also must be taken not to stran-
gle them while the drench is be-
ing given. Details OF controlling

Arsdall station. Several other
men were also there but none Of
the others were shocked. 1t was
rather an odd occurrence. The
lightning seemed to strike sever
al miles away, but at the same in
stance Mr.. VanArsdall felt a
burning and tingling sensation III
his back. He went to his home
nearby and on examination found
the lightning had made a red
mark where it had scorched the
skin, but he was not seriously in
iured. He made an investiga-
tiGn Of the store and has come to
the conclusion that the lightning
ran into the building on the tele-
phone wires to the box, which
was fastened on the interior on
the opposite side Of the wall from
where he sat. and from thence
was conducted to him by the
nails which held the box and
which penetrated tie wall to the
outside just back OF his chair.
