r? / â- ^-r-M-w Pi^ciic^i Spading Methods Iniporlanl in Gardening By W. J. DRYDEN, WNU Farm Editor. Systematic ispadtng makes tbe Job easier and more complete. Here is Me way to do It. Set a definite task i«w your flrst 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 end Ibe depth of the spade, removing •0 ioll from it. Pile this soil 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 soU and the strength of the spader. Under no condition take enough to itraln 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 top. In AlUiig the first trench, you have opened a second one. If you wish to /(fcde 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 Drat; 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- en future cultivation woric. TEMPORARY PEACE Andrei A.

GREECE SEEKS WAR PRIZES Areos demanded by Greece in World War II trcoty ROMANIA In a surprise demand on the eve of the Big Four foreign ministers' peace terms conference in' Paris.

Greece regained Thrace afttr World War I. Highlights oi the News Famine Crisis Rescue of many million from starvation appears more hopeful to- day than it Iia.s (or weeks. Ill- a series of week-end develop- ments, action has been taken to ob- tain and speed new .supplies of food to the Iningcr-swcpt areas of the world. Jn the United States, a compul- sory wheat-saving program be- < nic effective .\pril 22. it cuts the domestic use of wlica' and wheat products 2i per cent. , The order ciitliiiK 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 I'nited States to save wheat and flour tor a 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 tbe comitry's granaries to the faminc-slrickcn peoples abroad. The newest step has been the re- lease of an additional 160,000 tons of oats and low-grade wheat held ill reserve for livestock feeding combined with the suggestion by Prime Minister Mackenzie King that Canada and the United States cancel export permits for flour 'ex- cept such exports as can be iiisti- ficd on the basis of urgent need." .About six weeks ago, to meet an "urgent and desperate situation,'! the Government rec'uced by ]0 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 shipments to increase exports, and intensified its cam- paign for the liquidation of .grain inventories. No Steel Soon At Detroit, Ernest T. Weir, chairman of the Xational Steel Corp., predicted that if the strike of ;i00,000 AFL United .Mines Workers continues, the steel indus- try will be shut down 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. said a policy of cutting down whisky production was shortsighted be- cause whisky was the biggest dollar earner Britain had. Sir Hen replied that the obvious answer was that there had to be a choice between feeding the people and making whisky. Peacetime Armies Russia's current armed strensili is estimated at 6,000,000 men and she plans to train an additional l,5il(i,0(iu men a year, according to inform.T- tion reaching Wasliington. 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. 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 :n the cemetery soon after his execution by Partisans ne;'.r the Swiss border in April, 1945. 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 13 penny- weights. This is equivalent to $3,500 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.

This great record was made possible by the wholehearted co-operation of the Canadian people with their Government's anti-inflation measnres. Now that the war is over, Canada's fine record should be maintained . . . bv 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 onr 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.
