The Kansas Experiment Station II
studying the effect OF various modes Of
soil treatment upon soil moisture.
That the well-known effect OF mulch
can be approached by proper tillage Of
soil Is fact not as widely acted upon
as good farming dictates. One Of the
station fields which contained in round
numbers 26 per cent of water in the
nrst foot OF soil, on July 7, 1898, had
one portion plowed, another disk-har-
rowed and portion left untreated.
The ensuing dry weather in the course
OF four weeks, notwithstanding several
light rains. reduced the moisture Of the
untreated part to IL per cent and mat
OF the disked land to IS per cent, the
plowed ground retaining 81 per cent.
The last two were in excellent condi-
ton for seeding. while the first would
plow up lumpy and unsatisfactory.
The weight Of an acre OF the dry soil
to the depth OF one foot may be taken
as l,600 tons. Each per cent of water
in soil to that depth represents about IL
tons of water per acre. or one-seventh
OF an inch. The water apparently lost
by the untreated soil was 176 tons per
acre, equivalent to over one and half
inches of rain. This is about one half
what the soil would hold after a soak
ing rain. The real loss was much more
than this, since as water escaped from
the upper foot, other would be drawn
up from below by capillary attraction.

no doubt, but one which finds little on
portunity for troublesome growth on
ordinary farms. On fallow ground II
still grows large and assumes a spheri-
cal form, but ordinarily it is low and
slender. Many farmers and ranchmen
esteem it highly as fodder plant when
fed early, and many cut it early and

may yet come when the sheepgrowers
of the plains will take pains to grow

MASTERS REPORT
Brings Up an Interesting
Question.
AS TO Liability of Guardians and
Administrators for interest on
Uninvested FUNDS.

Judge Perry has made an order in
the matter of the estate of EVELYN
Nichols BidwelI. by which Jonathan
Shaw, the guardian. is ordered Ia
forthwith deliver 10 Fannie b. Mich
OILS. mother of said minor. certain
trunk and lady's gold watch now in
his possession. for the use OF said
ward: also that he 10 forthwith uay
the said Fannie B. Nichols the sum OF
$50 to be used in providing a suitable
ment of her travelling expenses to Cal
ifOrnia.
In the same estate Henry Smith. as
master, has filed his report on the ac-
count of Jonathan Shaw as guardian
in which an interesting question Is
raised by the master. who says: No
annual accounts having been filed for
the period from September 81. 1893
to June 50. 1899. the question arises.
is the guardian chargeablg with inter
est for credit balances from year tu
year? \ careful analysis of the ac-
count shows that. in round numbers.
Jlit SudIildl udS Idu uuliLNeSletl IN
balances in his hands of about 800 for
five years. $50 for four years. $3.50 for
three years. 500 for two years and
$500 for one year. At d per cent per
annum. interest would have been
about $3.50 on all those balances or
30 per cent more If the rate was per
cent The guardian has charged only
$3.50 for commissions. though he would
have been entitled to- charge $t7I.I7
on income and s1l6.iO on principal re-
ceived. Possibly the difference i now
waived so as TO make it appear about
an even thing. which. under the cir
cumstances, would appear to- be as fair
as could possibly be, unless ii IL held
that the guardian should have FoSt nC
time in looking around for safe securi'
ties in which to- make investments. liz
all probability, too. the guardian mas
have entertained an idea that he was
not called upon to invest his inCom,
receipts, his principal receipCS beius
only so recently received.
In conclusion the master states tlra
he knows of no reason why lie SHOULD
not recommend approSal at the &C
count and he so does.
