§58-963.
   
   On the date fixed in the notice in the last preceding section, if a
   proposed lease, or leases, shall have been presented to the
   administrator, administrator with will annexed, executor, or guardian
   which shall meet with the approval of said administrator,
   administrator with will annexed, executor or guardian he shall present
   the same to the district court administering the estate of said
   decedent or minor or incompetent person, and on said date the district
   court shall review the said proposed lease or leases which shall have
   been approved by said administrator, administrator with will annexed,
   executor or guardian, and any objections interposed thereto, and shall
   ascertain whether it shall be to the best interest of the estate of
   said deceased person, minor or incompetent to enter into said proposed
   lease, or any of said proposed leases, and, if it shall be to the best
   interest of the estate of said deceased person, minor or incompetent
   person shall approve that one which shall in the opinion of said
   district court be most advantageous to the estate of said deceased
   person, or minor or incompetent person. The court shall direct the
   administrator, administrator with will annexed, executor or guardian
   to execute the lease upon there being furnished to him a bond,
   conditioned for faithful performance of said lease by the lessee, in a
   sum equal to one-fifth (1/5) of the total rental to be paid under said
   lease, or the rental for two (2) years, or the value of the
   improvements agreed to be placed upon said leased property by the
   lessee, whichever is the greater. In case said lease shall not have a
   definite sum upon which to base such percentage the district court
   shall estimate the amount of the prospective rental for the lease
   period and fix the bond accordingly.
