| Show from the dally of november 21 LANDS the reclamation of alkali lands is becoming a question ol 01 deeper importance as the superiority cf each land becomes hotter appreciated and more practicable processes are invented for the work tsefat aliat the mineral ingredient of tte eo called all f alts BO prevalent in utah and other portions of the west is one of the three essential minerals of plant food clearly why our mineral plains when acce arder cultivation should yield BO and po long without wit lout fertilizing it is hie residual potash that gives lands their value it Is the of the other minerals chauy common salt that mates reclamation in boine cases particularly difficult borne interesting experiments in that line are bei g carru d on by pro K W hillgard oi the agricultural experiment station of california A recent bulletin issued by him is thus summarized in the san francisco examiner the salts of potash and eoda which make up the alkali of california are the products of the weathering away of the soil they are produced in all rich foils but in moart boils balts are beached leached out by the rains and are carried by the rivers to the aea in the SAU joaquin and other parta of the elate the rainfall is email and the drainage bad the salts are not carried off as fast as they are pro ducca never beached leached out and the salts accumulate from year to year the evaporation of the moisture from the ground leaves the pata held in sol atlon as a deposit on the surface causing the rise cf the alkali on the lands during the dry mason the remedy as the university bulletin points out follows from the cause it is to be found in washing out the boils by irrigation and draining the water away from beneath into the rivers and the sea itow this is to be don is in most cases a question for local discussion accomplished by merely petting water on the soil such an expedient has naturally failed junices at the fame time it was drained beneath otherwise the alkali his remained in the boil and lias reappeared as a eustare de posit villi the evaporation of the water that held it in solution if the water ia taken off by however it is possible ta leach out the soils EO that the alkali will not reappear for ages in many of the alkali districts of this state and in most of the alkali districts of nevada an system of onder drainage is beyond the means of individuals to reclaim the lands operation cooperation co ft ill be epeary the manner in which california is ellving the irrigation problem suggests the method to be pursued in reclaiming alkali lands drainage districts may prove as as irrigation districts when once the true value of the alkali lands is geen the excellent fl of these boils EO long thought worthless and agven over to
