knowledge of the parents of an ear OF
corn is as necessary as the pedigree of
a herd bull. The only way toknow the
pedigree of seed corn is to take a sack
into the field now. and select ears of
proper shape, not much over medium
size, on which kernels are almost too
hard to peel with the finger nail. The
/ ears should promise 3 large percentage
Of shelled corn, should be growing on
strong leafy stalks at good reaching

from any barren stalks, whose pollen

One man can pick five bushels of
seed corn in a day, ordinarily, and this
done at the right time may mean an in
crease of a bushel per acre in future
crops. A bushel per acre on the thirty
acres that would be planted with seed
from one days picking, would make
the dag work worth at least SIS.
Late selection year after year means
that tie corn will run out, or mature

which God gave him to walk upon,

THE DIETz GASES DISMISSED
Four of Family Freed of Charges
of Assault.

In Eau Claire county circuit court
Judge Wickham dismissed the charges
against four members of the Dietz
family and the defendants were dis
charged. There were four cases. charg-
ing assault with intent to kill. The
district attorney, in making out the
discharge of the defendants, said: at

this action viii take a large and gen.
erous view that the chief of the rebel
liop, being brought to full punishment
under the law, this should satisfy the
state for all the offenders and that

TO be free.
That is about the correct disposition
of the matter. The chief otfenoer is
paying the penalty for Deitz' disregard
of law and order. Whatever his family
did was under his direction. But it
should have been ore of the conditions
of the court in dismissing these cases

VALUE OF FLOWING IN FALL
Should Be Done In Order to Permit
Winter Precipitation to Enter Soils
Easily and Effectively.

It Is generally conceded that in Or
der to permit the winter precipitation
to enter the soils easily and effectively.
the soil should be plowed in the fall
and left in a rough state throughout
the winter. To prevent loss OF this
storage moisture. when the warm sun.
shine Of spring and summer appears.
the fall plowed soil should be harrow.
ed In early spring. and by means OF re-
peated harrowings a dry earth mulch
should bu kept on the surface. On
the overwhelming majority Of western
soils the only right time for plowing
Is In the fall. On an equally large
proportion Of western soils the best
method Of preventing evaporation from
soils is deep and thorough cultivation.
The soil Of the farm on which the
experiments reported In this bulletin
were conducted was titled ip the best
possible manner. The top soil was
loose and permitted the ready en-
trance Of water. The field was usual.
ly plowed in the fall. During two sea-
sons only It was possible to secure
comparative data dealing with fall
versus spring plowing. While the diff
ference in both seasons was small. In
both cases 1t was in favor Of the fall
plowed soil.
Some workers In this field have
noted the small increase in the per-
centage Of soil moisture to certain
depths resulting from fall plowing,
and have hastily concluded that fall
plowing has little value In conserving
the natural precipitation. In view Of
the law Of the approximate constancy
Of the soil moisture tn the spring such
views may be revised. Fall plowing
undoubtedly conserves the winter
precipitation.-Utah Bulletin No. 104.

NEED OF CONSERVING WATER
Necessity Of Storing Moisture In Soil
During Periods Of Wet Weather
to Use During Drouth.

The Nebraska experiment station
Bulletin No. ia. on storing moisture
In the soil. Is a report OF work done
at the experimental station located at
North Platte. 1t takes up the neces.
sity OF storing water In the soil dur.
Ing periods OF wet weather. to be used
during periods Of drouth.
The charts show that water is con-
served In the soil through cultivation
and that 1t is necessary to keep the
surface Of the soil loose and in a re-
ceptive condition to get the water into
the soil. Almost as much water Is got
into the soil during the early part of
the season where a cultivated crop 10
being grown as Is conserved by sum-
mer tillage. This Is due to the fact
that the surface soil is kept loose
enough to hold the water that falls
until 1t can get down into the soil.
and the loose soil on the surface
prevents evaporation. 1t is also due
to the, fact that comparatively few
plants are being grown in a cultivated
field. and these do not draw very
heavily on the water supply during
the early part of their growth.
In a small grain field more plants
are grown. with the result that the
water Is used more rapidly and less
water is got into the soil. In fields
growing alfalfa or bronze grass. where
the number Of growing plants are
large and the surface Of the soil 10
smooth and hard. 1t is seldom that
enough water gets into the soil to
moisten 1t below two or three feet.
BY the method Of summer tilling prac-
tfced from 40 to so per cent. OF the
seasons rainfall has been stored for
the use Of the subsequent crop. On
this type Of soil the water In the up
per six feet is available for the crop.
