Spading Methods Important in Gardening
By W. .L DRYDEN, WWII Farm Editor.
Systematic spading makes the lob
taster and more complete. Here is
one way to do R. Set a definite task
for your first day's work, say a strip
six feet wide running the shortest
dimension of the garden. At one end
dig a ditch, say one foot wide and
the depth of the spade,. removing
all soil from it. Pile this soli near
the opposite end of the strip,
Begin to spade. The spade should
be' driven down straight, not on a
slant, to its full depth. Take a small
slice of the soil, the amount will
depend upon the condition of the
soil and the strength of the spader.
Under no condition take enough to
strata the back. Spading should be
made easy. Lift it up, turn the spade
over so that the top soil falls under-
neath and bottom soil on tap. In
filling the first . trench, you have
opened a second one.
it you wish to Side under manure
or fertilizer, spread it evenly over
the area except for the top of your
Initial trench. • When this first trench
has been dug, clean the manure
from the top of the next trench and
throw it into the bottom of the first;'
then proceed with your spading, pil-
ing the soil' on top of the manure.
The soil should be broken up with
the spade as you go along to less.

'Famine Crisis
Rescue of -many. million from
starvation appears more hopeful to-
day than it has for weeks.
In a series of week -end develop-
ments, action has been taken to ob-
tain and speed new supplies of food
to the hanger -swept areas of the
world.
In the United States, .a compul-
sory wheat -saving -program be -
c .me -.effective April. 22. ' It cuts
the domestic use of wheat and
wheat products 25 per cent.
The order cutting domestic wheat
consumption puts all Americans on
short bread rations,

The British :Government is pre-
paring drastic steps comparable to
those just taken in the United
States to save wheat and flour torn
hungry world.
American food planners have
contended that British food re-
serves are excessive. They figure
they are large enough to last about
three months, but the British insist
they would last nearer six weeks.

The Canadian Government is in-
tensifying its efforts to increase the
flow of food from the country's
granaries to the famine -stricken
peoples abroad.
The newest step has been tiro re-
lease of an additional 160,000 tons
of oats and low-grade wheat held
in reserve for livestock feeding
combined with the suggestion by
Prime Minister 1\Iackenzie. King
that Canada and the United States
cancel export permits for flour "ex-
cept such exports as can be justi-
fied on the basis of urgent need."
About six weeks ago, to meet an
"urgent and 'desperate situation,"
the Government reduced by 10 per
cent the amount of wheat for do-
mestic milling and by 50 per cent
for distilling, urged a sharp reduc-
tion in• 'domestic consumption and
elimination of waste, gave priori-
ties on rail transport for wheat and
flour for export, changed regula-
tions',on bulk shipment to increase
exports, and intensified its cam-
paigh for the liquidation of grain
inventories.
No Steel Soon
At Detroit, Ernest T, Weir,
chairman of the National Steel
Corp., predicted that if the strike
of 300,000 AFL United Mines
Workers continues, the steel indus-
try will be shut clown completely
within three weeks. Add another
week and the auto manufacturers
will be without steel."
U. S. Steel Corp. announced that
its biggest subsidiary in Pittsburgh
would cut production to 26 per
cent of capacity next week. Thou-
sands of auto workers faced early
layoffs because of the steel shortage.
Peacetime Armies
Russia's current armed strength is
estimated at 6,000,000 men and she
plans to train an additional 1,500,000
men a year, according to informa-
tion reaching Washington.
This compares with an estimated
1,000,000 American youths who
would be trained annually if Con-
gress approved President Turman's
recommendation for universal peace-
time military training of youths 18
to 20.
Distillers Warned
British Food Minister Sir Ben
Smith announced in the House of
Commons that he had warned Brit-
ish distillers that they could have
no more barley during the present
period of world food crisis.
Robert Boothby, Conservative,
said a policy of cutting down whisky
production was shortsighted be-
cause whisky was the biggest dollar.
earner Britain had. Sir Ben replied
that the obvious answer was that
there had to be a choice between
feeding the people and raking
whisky.
Mussolini's Body Stolen
Milan municipal authorities re-
ported last week that the body of
Benito Mussolini was removed dur-
ing the night from Maggiore Ceme-
tery, Milan, by "unknown persons.
An inquiry to ascertain the re-
sponsibility was under way.' The
discovery was made by workers who
were in the cemetery to exhume
other bodies.
Mussolini was buried in a pau-
per's grave in the cemetery soon
after his execution by Partisans near
the Swiss border in April, 1045.
Mussolini was captured on the
shores of Lake Como attempting to
escape into Switzerland. After a
summary trial, he was shot.
Gold Strike
The richest gold reef ever dis-
covered in South Africa, containing
62.6 ounces of gold to the ton of
rock, has been discovered five miles
southeast of Odendaalsrust in the
Orange Free State;
The strike yields 1,252 penny-
weights over 18.4 inches, compared
with the normal yield of 12 penny-
weights. This is equivalent to 92,500
a ton in Canadian funds. Up to now
a yield of SO to 100 pennyweights
had been regarded as exceptional.
Line on Cars
Production of 30,000 vehicles a
week is expected as soon as the
labor disputes in the automobile in-
dustry decline.

Television will be used at the
atom bomb tests at Bikini atoll in
the Pacific to record for remote ob-
servers what actually happens when

WE AREA
CANADA has set an example to all nations of the world in its
control of wartime prices. This great record was made possible by
the wholehearted co-operation of the Canadian people with their
Government's anti-inflation measures. Nov that the war is over,
Canada's fine record should be maintained ... by moderating
our pleasures, by controlling unessential spending, we continue
to serve our nation and ourselves best.
The staple necessities of life have priority calls on our money and
our efforts. Unnecessary spending at this time will bid up prices
on everything that is still scarce and will serve only to devalue
all our personal wealth and that of the nation.
The House of Seagram for many years has advocated moderation
and now suggests its continued careful observance in these times.
Let moderation in all we do be the keynote for lasting stability.
