OF the opinion there Is some doubt
about the possibility of getting action
in the Treasurer Schamber case. bur
feels certain that the Collins and Cas-

others. The statute of limitations
against a sealed instrument Is 20 years,
and for an instrument without a seal 1t
Is Elk years. The bonds Of Collins n
Cassill both had seals, which places
them clearly inside the legal limit,
while those Of Phillips and Schamber
did not have seals, causing an expira-
ton Of rights in these cases.

Discing Land Before Flowing.

NNSSAN ASOAoAS = tO"Ah6e
The discing of stalk or stubble
land before blowing is one of the
most important practices in the
handling of soils. The recent
droughts have emphasized its
Importance. Each year larger
numbers of farmers are following
this practice which has been re-
commended and used by the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment
Station. The discing of land be-
fore blowing is one of the things
which all farmers, but particularly
those located on high priced corn
belt land, should practice. Some
men have found it profitable to
disc bluegrass sod, but the practice
has its greatest advantage when
applied to stalk and stubble land
The soil will obsorb more water
when it is disced before blowing.
This has been a very important
point in recent years when the
soil has been rarely soaked with
water. The more water stored in
the soil, when the crops are put in,
the larger will be the return if the
season is dry. The thorough mixing
of the stalks, stubble and other
surface organic matter with the
soil, which results from the disc
ing, is very advantageous. On
stalk land particularly the weighted
disc takes the place of, the stalk
cutter and this at the same time
thoroughly mixes the organic mat
ter with the soil. A disc may also
be used to cut up green manure
crops before turning them under
and brings about more thorough
ly mixing of this organic matter
with the soil. One of the founda-
mental principles in blowing any
land is to thoroughly mix the or
ganic matter with the surface soil
and this is greatly favored BY
discing in advance of the pillow.
Land with a pulverized surface
! can be turned with pillow in suct
a way as to give a much bette
! seed bed than where the discing i
not done. The land plows NOR
: easily and the pulverization is a
the same time more thorough. TIL
disc harrow is one of the most val
. liable of farm implements and it
use in advance of the pillow is jus
: as important as its use followin
the plow.-M. F. Miller, Columbi
G University.

Again the angel of death has

loved ones of our friends and our
hearts are full of sympathy this
morning as we think of the bereav-

her last resting place in the state

tears came fast last week, when

Ella, the child so fair, the maid
en- so beautiful, the wife and moth

memory live in our hearts! And
friends, dear friends, whose hearts
have recently thus been caused to
mourn, listen to the little stanza
of the old Sunday School hymn
which holds for us all the thought
most triumphal and sublime and
at this Easter time may we all re-
spond "Alleluia."
