City Marshal Higgins not having re-
ceived any reply to his query for in
structons as to the disposition of
August Peterson, alias Lachnan "a de-
serter from the navy, he was discharg-
ed after being held in the county Jail
a few days. Lachman is tenant of
Mrs. Criswell on Blodgett creek and
where he resides with his young wife
and baby. Evidently Mrs. Criswell
and her tenant don't get along, as it
was she who gave the authorities the
information that led to his arrest.
Meantime she swore out two com
plants in Justice Whaley's court
charging Lachman with misdemean-
o1s but both were dismissed on motion
of the county attorney. On Monday,
however, o. A. Jarrett of Woodside
swore out complaint charging Lach-
man with assault and his trial was set
for June7. Pending the hearing he
was released on furnishing bail in the
sum of 500, Lyme Blodgett and Silas

BULLETIN FROM THE MONTANA
EXPERIMENT STATION.
o HELP THE FARMERS
Expert Atkinson Tells How Moisture
May Be Retained.-Advises
Frequent Cultivation.

The Montana Experiment Station
at Bozeman has Just issued a bulletin
from the pen of A. Atkinson, an ex-
pert, on the Care Of Summer Fallow"
and which will no doubt prove inter
esting reading to the farmers of the
valley. 1t follows:
The season of 1904 was particularly
trying one for farmers on non-irrigat-
ed farms. While the annual precipi-
| tation in most places was nearly as
great as during other years, it came
mostly in the form of heavy SHOWS
during the winter. AS a result a great
deal of the winter wheat sown last
fall failed to germinate for lack Of
moisture
Since the chief purposes in practis-
ing a system of summer -fallowing on
these dry farms is to accumulate suf-
fcient moisture to produce profit
able crop, it is important that this
end be gained, as the land IS only Civ
ing returns each alternate year.
| AS all of a growing plants food
that is taken from the soil must be
distributed by means of water; it is
evident that great deal of moisture
is necessary in carrying on the life
functions in the plant. 1t requires
| approximately 465 tons of water tc
produce one ton of dry matter in bar
ley and ST tons of water to produce q
ton of dry matter in clover. After
this water has finished its work as {
carrier in the plant, it is returned tc
the air through the breathing pores il
the leaves and so is entirely lost to III,
soil.
1t is evident then that when fields

immediately following the arrest of
Donson and Carlstrom the slot ma
chimes in the different resorts were
turned to the wall. None of the
saloons have closed, however, and,
with the exception of Burgoyne, the
proprietors expect to do business at
the old stands. In case of conviction
in the justice court they will simply
appeal to the district court and which
will insure big, fat docket for the
next term, should the county attorney
succeed in getting them to trial then.
All the recent arrests we're made on
information furnished to the county
attorney by ]. H. Croghan of Stevens
vile and Harry Townsend of Florence
who were employed as detectives.
They are said to have secured evidence
against nearly every saloon man in
the county. They came to Hamilton
on the evening of June 20, the night
of the big wrestling event and made
the rounds of the saloons.
Since the county attorney insists up
on all cases going to Justice Sedg-
wick's court and in view of the fact
that Deputy Sheriff Shan non, who is a
strong prohibitionist, has the selection
of jurors, the saloon men expect con-
viction in every case and say that they
i don't propose to put up much of a
fight there, and will simply appeal and
| fight the cases to finish in the dis
trict court.

are allowed to go unused so that they
may accumulate moisture supply,
weeds ought not to be permitted to
grow. They use and consequently
waste the moisture just as rapidly as
do economic plants, and while their
growth brings no returns they give
off the moisture that we are endeavor-
ing to save.
Water in the soil that is of value in
plant growth is held much the same
as water is retained in sponge and
the movements in both cases are ident
ical. If a sponge is placed in a dish
of water and cover is then placed
over the dish except that part of the
upper portion of the sponge is exposed,
the water in the dish will very soon
all be evaporated. The tendency of
dry place and as the dry place is at
the surface it is constantly moving
upwards and is lost by evaporation
into the air. The same movement is
noted in soil moisture. The surface
soil becomes dry and the water from
the winter SHOWS and spring rains
which has found it's way into the soil
is constantly moving toward the sur
face which has been dried by the sun
and wind and being evaporated into
the air.
..f~
of the water from particle to particle
it is evident that if the surface soil is
broken up and the upper layer of par
ticles loosened and removed from one
another so that the air will dry out
this portion Of the soil, it will be i'm
possible for the water to escape. This
surface of our summer-fallowed field
constantly cultivated. After the slim
iner rains it is important to harrow the
ground as the rain packs the surface
particles and permits the water to rise
and be evaporated. If this packed
surface is broken up the capillary rise
of the water is stopped and the mois
ture is retained in the soil.
In seasons when most of the precipi-
tation comes during the early part o.
the year land that is constantly cult
waited will retain this early moisture
and it will be present to germinat'
the fall sown grains.
The important thing is to frequent
ly cultivate the summer-fallowet
fields. This will keep down the weeds
and by maintaining mulch on thu
ground the moisture will be held anl
thus accumulated for crop growth il
the fall.
