Lincoln June 30 The Douglas county treasurer W G Ure and his attorney appeared before the state supreme court seeking instructions as to how to divide about 170 000 alleged to belong to the state.

Extension news notes U S experiments show corn yields approach those from soil cultivation when the surface is kept weed free by frequent hoeing or by using cultivators. Keeping the top inch of soil loose and level aids early growth and may substitute for deeper cultivation in some practices.
The 13 experiment stations averaged five years each report 65 bushels per acre for deep cultivation and 75 bushels for shallow cultivation. Larger corn should be cultivated more shallowly, but some conditions demand deeper work, including heavy weed growth, cold wet clayey or gumbo soil, and soil packing after heavy rain.
A bulletin from the Agricultural Experiment Station of Nebraska reports plowing stores moisture better than disking, especially after heavy rains, as plowing stirs soil and aids rain capture while also killing weeds. Listing soil was nearly as effective as plowing, though tests are few.

William Bond of Wilmington, Delaware, sealed in an airtight box submerged in water for seven hours.
