Object Of Experiments.

Object Of Experiments.
The Object of the experiments was to
determine the greatest utility OF water
under different conditions OF LOCALITY
soil, climate and n variety Of crops. toT
this purpose parts of irrigated farms were
secured at Richheld, Scvier county; Man
u, Sanpeto county; Nephi, Juao county;
Iocelc. Tooele county, Garland, BOX
elder county. and Big Cottonwood, Salt
Lake county.
on these tracts one plat was taken as
standard and irrigated by the owner
while five or six other similar plats were
used for experimental purposes and II me
results measured by COMPARISON Inc
crops grown included alfalfa. alfalfa seed.
wheat, oats. sugar beets and potatoes
The water was applied by surface and
furrow methods and the manner OF lts
application was given the widest possible
variation as to time and amounts, with
reference to frequency, night and day and
early and late I'm the season applications.
Questions to Be Determined.
The question to be determined was the
maximum Yield per acre foot of water
used The Information desired, as classi-
fled by the statute authorizing the eN-
perditure, included the amount or water
used time and manner OF Its application,
the influence on the soil Of the various
methods of irrigation and the require
mentS of the soils and SubsoilS OF Utah.
Only BY observing the tables IN full can
Intelligent and accurate deductions be
made.
The conclusioh to the report states that.
while some facts have been established,
further investigation Is needed for the
solution OF other problems. The question
as to whether II is best 10 seek to obtain

in the courtyard Of the building without
the knowledge of the consul Alr Thomas
+. Moffat. He was seized, not forcibly
but in what the consul insists was an
arrogant and offensive manner. The con-
sui has complained to Mr.. Russell, minis
ter OF the United States a Caracas, and
lodged a protest with Mr. Root.
This affair occurred on March /. and the
consul has not yet been allowed TO see his
imprisoned clerk who had keys and Inn
portant papers OF the consulate In his
keeping Leefman Is held "incommuni-
cado.' although the law OF Venezuelan
declares that mo Venezuelan can

chapter of the law pledges "inviolabilty"
OF the domestic dwelling. which shall not
be trespaesed upon Cby officers OF the
law except TO prevent the preparation
OF a crime.
1t is the alleged diregard OF the dignity

the proceeding that has aroused the con-
sui.

1t seems that a week ago the Venezue-
Ian government discovered that somc
smuggling was going on between La
Guayra and Gnanta, the port of BARGE
Iona. about 200 miles up the east coast.
The authorities ascertained that 81 pack
ages OF merchandise. mostly cloths. which
had not been landed AT la Guayra had
been delivered at Guanta as having
passed through the custom house OF the
larger port.
The packages were brought In small
coasting schooner the captain and crew

schooner had cleared with a miscellaneous
