JUDGE SMITH FACORS NUM-
CIPALITY.

Another suit in the litigation in
progress between the city OF Mitchell
and the Dakota Central Telephone
Company finished the circuit court
stage today when Judge Frank b.
Smith handed down a decision up
|hoIding tho municipality in its claim
tor $1,000. 80 and costs against tins
corporation. q
The judgement awarded the city
lis for 10 per Gems CT the gross EARN
|ings over $1,000 for the year ending
May 31,1911. Another suit is in the
courts for the city's share of the
gross earnings for the period ending
May IL, 1919, when the franchise
given to +. b. Elce in 1898 expired.
1T was under the provisions of this
franchise that three suits have been
brought, the first two being won by
the city.
One new issue, was injected into
the case just decided by the act OF
tho legislature of 1911, which pass
led a law providing that telephone
companies should be assessed on the
same basis as other classes of prop
.erty and that the tax should be in
lieu Of all other taxes on gross earn
|ings. BY the terms of his decision.
Judge Smith upheld the contention of
the city that the 1911 statute was
unconstitutional, that 1t violated tho
terms of the contract with the tele-
phone corporation and deprived the
city OF tho power to impose conditions
on It's consent to the S of the

IMPORTANCE Of
LAND CULTIVATION
Conservation Of Moisture One Of
The Principal Results.
KILLING Of WEEDS ANOTHER

As one purpose of cultivation is to
destroy the weeds, the %cultiyating
should b~etundeftaken when the weeds
are small, before they have thrown
out more than two or three leaves.
Another value to be gained by cult
walton is the increase of fertility in
the soil. This increase of fertility is
brought about largely by the forma-
tion OF nitrates by bacteria. Cultiva-
ton for this purpose should be un,
dertaken during the early period of
the plants growth, and such cult.
walton should be relatively deep, say
two and one.half to four inches.
The third and main necessity for
the cultivation of crops is the con
s~ervation of soil moisture. Soil mois-
ture should be conserved as soon as
possible after heavy rains. The main
cultivation of the crop should be in
June, during the early growing por-
ton of the season, at the time of the
heaviest rains.
We will suppose that from he rains
of May a. quantity of water has been
stored in the soil. This water will
approach near the surface of the
ground, but it will be held in the soil
provided a soil mulch is formed. Il
now requires but a slight rain to form
capillary water between the stored
water and the surface of the ground.
After the ground is wetted, from the
surface to where the water is stored,
1t takes but a very few drying days
for a. comparatively large quantity OF
water to escape. so that the soil may
be drier within, say thirty-six hours
after a light rain, than it was pre-
! vious to the rain, or than it would
have been had no rain. occurred.
Later in the season, when the pc.
Rod between rains is longer, a deeper
layer of dry soil is naturally formed
near the surface of the ground. with
a consequent more efficient mulch. In
such cases light showers may not act
injuriously in a~bstracting the stored
water Of the deeper layers. 1t is
well known in the semi-arM regions
that If the crop has a relative abund.
ance OF stored moisture upon which
90 draw, 1t can pass through compare.
lively long periods OF drouth without
much injury. 1t should not be for.
gotten that the cultivation rof the
crop in June provides for the storing
Of moisture which Will carry it over
the droughty periods.
All cultivation for the purpose ot
storing moisture. and increasing fer.
tilityf should be asalevel as other con
ditions" permit. Soil which is left
rough dries out more rapidly.
