LAND AFTER SMALL HARVEST
Effort Should Be Made to Make Best
Possible Use Of scanty
Soil Water.

(By ALVIN KEYSER. Colorado AgricuI-
tural College)
Harvest is either now being finish
ed or is in progress In this season
Of short water supply. both under
irrigation and ON dry land, an effort
should be made to make the best
possible use of scanty soil water.
If email grain stubble is allowed to
stand after harves: without treat
ment. the surface OF the soil soon
ing can scarcely be done. II at all. or
course. rains occasionally come to
soften this crust, but these cannot
be absolutely depended upon. The
formation OF crust can be prevented
by thoroughly double diskfng after
the binder If the disking is well
done. baking and clodding of the
surface will rarely occur. Land SO
treated may be plowed and fitted for
seeding when united land cannot
be plowed Such land will also take
up rain or irrigation water much
better than undisked land. The
years ago on this feature of soil man
dStLltnt.
The land was disked after the
binder and plowed about August l.
A similar piece on the opposite side
OF a 16-foot roadway was not disked
The blowing was done at the same
time. No rain fell from July 1 unil
August 81 From August 81 to Sep
TENDER three inches OF rain fell
The land that had been properly tend
ed was well wetted by this rain. and
fall crops started and grew well. The
undisked land was wetted only about
six inches, not enough to make 1t pos
sible to thoroughly break down the
Jumps.
The good effect of judicfous disk
ing Will be seen on the next crop.
The effect is to prevent the soil get
ting into very. bad condition.

The weeder is very useful tool in
the cultivation of potatoes when prop
erly used. 1t should be run cross
wise of the rows after each cultiva-
ton as long as the size of the plants
will permit. 1t helps to pulverize the
surface and destroys many of the
weels in the rows where they cannot
be reached with the cultivator. thus
making hand hoeing less necessary.
Some growers continue to use the
weeder lengthwise of the rows after
the plants are too large to permit run
ming it crosswise by removing some
row.

GIRLS ACCUSE FATHER
Worcester Man Held on Grave Charge of Four Daughters,
 Youngest Being 13

Worcester, Aug. 3.-Henry c. Pow ell. aged 55. Rutland farmer, was arraigned before Judge Esty on com plaint of four of his six daughters and placed under s2,0OO bonds for a hearing next Monday on serious charge. Powell lived on his Rutland farm with his wife and six children, while two of his daughters have been living in other parts of the county
 The arrest comes as the result of an investigation begun last week by Deputy Sheriff Edward M. Mer- rick of Holden and Constable Wal ter H. Pike of Paxton, and the na- ture of their evidence is appalling ac- cording to the officers. The specific complaints against Powell are made by four of his daughters: Mrs. Etta Powell Whitney Of Paxton: Miss Sa- die Powell, aged 19. who has been living recently in Auburn; Miss Ruth I. Powell aged IT, and Miss Lilla Powell aged 13, who have been living at home.
 Sadie became a mother some time ago and Ruth became a mother on July IS, and the stories they have told the officers were the principal facts which led to the arrest of their father. As the result of the story told by Ruth, Charles Robbins of Charlton, aged 20, is also under ar rest and he will be in court with Powell next Monday.
 Powell and his wife came to live in Rutland from New York seventeen years ago. They have been the parents of eleven children.
