Particularly As to the Needs of
Moisture.
TIis. Nebraska JEsacrlinent Station
has Just Issued Bulletin No. 128, on
"Studies In Water Requirements of
Corn.'' A brief renort Is mnrtn on ro-
sults secured in past years, which
havo heretofore been published,
Results Indicato that tho best
growth is secured whn the soil con
tains about 60 per cent of tho water It
could hold if saturated. Soil that Is
too wet gives docroased yields. It
was also found that tho amount of
water required from day to day by
growing corn varies with weather con
ditions, and in vory much tho same
way as .evaporation from tho surfaco
of a tank; nl9o tho greater tho leaf
area tho greater tho water require
ment In 1911, corn was grown in two
greenhouses, in one of which tho air
was dry, just bb tho natural outside
air. In the other tho air wnB artific
ially kept humid. The plant required
twice as much water to make a pound
of dry weight in tho dry greenhouse
as it did in tho humid greenhouse, in
dicating that in a dry climate like Ne
braska tho water requirement for
growing crops is very lilnh as enm-
pared with a humid cllniato. It was
round that In the year 1911 It took 345
pounds of water to mnko one pound
of dry weight in corn, while In 1010 it
took only 250 pounds. This was duo
to tho fact that tho air was much
drier in 1911. So even with equal
rainfall, in certain years the water re
quirement Is very much higher than
in othors.
Soils of three degrees of fertility
wero used, and these same soils were
each fertilized with sheep manure in
a second series. It was found that tho
mora fertile a soil tho loss water re
quired to produce a pound of dry
weight, and that the adding of manure
decreases the water requirement ex
cept In tho most fertllo soils. ThiB
would Indicate that manuring soils
low In fertility will givo a greater
yield for a given quantity of water,
but if the soils are sufficiently fertllo
tho addition of manure will probably
have llttlo or no effoct This bulletin

there have been good rains in this
section and conditions on the farm

SEAT ON EVIDENCE.
0. K. RES ADJUD1CATA PLEA
Minority Members Declare That Ten
Votes Wero Secured Illegally and
Mortey Was Corruptly and Fraudu
lently Used In Election.
Washington. May 21. Soriator Lor
Imor's vindication by tho majority
members of tho senatorial comniittoo
Which Investigated his election was
written into the official records of tho
united States uuuute.
Senator Dillingham, chairman of tho
committee, presented tho report,
signed by flvo members of thq commit
tee Dillingham, Gamble, Jono3, John
ston and Fletcher. It Is a document of S
91 printed pages, detailing at length
tho evidence upon which the commit
tee found that there had been no cor
ruption in tho election of the Illinois
senator.
Threo membors of the committee
Senators Lea. Konyon and Kern later
presented a minority report, opposing
the views of the majority and insist
ing that corruptiou nnd been proved.
They presented a resolution declaring
Senator Lorimcr'a election invalid and J
his seat vacant
The minority report holds that Mr.
Lorlmer's election was obtained by
fraud and improper use of monoy. It
la declared that ten of tho votes cast
for Mr. Lorlraor wore obtained by cor
rupt methods and that Edward HInos,
tfi
milllonalro Chicago lumber man.
was influential In "putting Lorimer
over."
Tho statement of the minority mem
bers Ib particularly sharp In its denun
ciation of tho methods used in Mr.
Lorlmer's election. According to these
senators tho testimony taken by tho
committee establishes Mr. Hlncs as
"ono who looked upon everything and
everybody as bolng purchasable, the
only question of doubt in his mind be
ing tho amount of money nocossary to
purchase this or that person."
The majority report sustains the
plea of res adjudicata, which is in ef
foct that tho capo, having once been
decided by tho senato, cannot again
bo brought into issue upon tho same
evidence. In this connection it is
strongly pointed out that tho claim of
newlysjllscovored evidonce wns not
substantiated.
