The cells toward the center of the root contain the largest amount of coloring matter. Frequently it is most abundant in three to five con centric layers extending from the center toward the outside, these lay CTS alternating with lighter ones. Sometimes it seems to be evenly dis tributed throughout the entire root. The amount of coloring matter in creases with the age of the root, as may be readily observed by comparing roots of different age.
 In addition to these varied colored materials, many parenchyma cells contain large compounn crystals, probably of '.calclc oxalate.r These crystals were all observed in the tis- sue outside the cambium. Smaller crystals. likely of the same material, were found in large numbers.

 From several analyses it would seem that the young roots at their incep- ti0n have about 3.9 per cent. jamie acid green, or l5 per cent. 10 lG per cent. dry At this time the roots are white with a yellow ring, and do not turn red even on exposure to the air. After blOssoming, the roots seem to have attained their full size, are somewhat deeper in color and contain but little more tannic acid than when younger. Through the long, hot sum- mer they gradually increase in tannic acid. As soon as they sprout and grow, there is a marked tendency to increase in tannic acid. Analyses of roots of same age, sprouted and not sprouted, show the sprouted roots to have been uniformly higher in tannic acid.
 Experiments in cultivation have not been carried sufficiently far to de- termine it's effect on contentof jamie acid. These, however, will be contin- ued until definite results are reached as to best time to harvest roots. 1t may be found that two qualities of roots will be obtained; the first. one year roots with about 23 to ? per cent. of tannic acid and d-only small amount of coloring matter; the sec ond, two year roots, with higher per cent. of tannic acid and large amount of coloring matter.

SOIL TNFLU ENCH ON THE PLANT,
 The plant has been found growing wild only in the sandy and loose soils the roots becoming smaller as the patches ran into closer soils and not appearing at all on heavy soils.
 From this 1t might be inferred that light sandy soil is one Of the require ments of the plant
 The fact that the plant develops roots of good size and high per cent. of tannic acid on quite heavy soil under cultivation. shown in our ex- periments, as referred to under "Cul- tiyation, would indicate that sandy soil is not essential to it's successful growth.
 Canaigre grows naturally and is found in greatest perfection in q loose and sandy soil, but this may be on account of it's mechanical condi- tlon which allows the roots better chance to grow, and because the mois- ture is retained longer by the layer of loose sand preventing evaporation.
 The following partial analysis will give some idea of soil in which it has been found growing in greatest abun- dance;

rANNIN.

The large amount of tannin that the root contains is apparently in so- lution in tEe cell sap Not only is the tannin found in the root, but it is found 10 some extent in the stems and leaves. The cell sap gives pro nounced tannin reaction with either ferric sulphate or bichromate potash. < thin section of the root treated with either of these reagents will throw down a precipitation whenever it comes in contact with the cell sap. As with the colorug matter, the tan min also increases with age of the root, at least for the first few years.

dried sample contains about per cent. of moisture. Grating on d coarse vegetable grater is preferable to sIicing, because the sample dries much more quickly. and the soluble material is more easily extracted. In some cases determinations of the green root were made, definite weight being taken for moisture de- termination at same time sample for tanning was taken.
 Of the several methods for estimat- ing tannic acid only two after the pre- liminary tests seemed to promise good results. These two are the so-called hide method and the permanganate method.
 By the hide method weighed amount of the canaigre was extracted with water and made up to such a bulk that soc. C., would be equal to one-half gram of substance taken. Fifty cubic centimeters evaporated to dryness gave total attractive matter. One hundred cubic centimeters ex- hausted with best quality hide pow der filtered and fifty cubic centiine7 ters eyaporated to dryness gave total non-tannin attractive matter, and difference was called tannic acid. This is supposed to be based on the actual process involved in tanning, is exceedingly simple and seemingly ac curate. But on trial it was found that duplicate results could not be obtained for three reasons:
 1st. On account of the varying amount of attractive matter obtain ed from the same sample under simi- lar conditions.
 2nd. The uncertainty as to the amount of soluble matter left from the hide.
 3rd. The varying amount of sub stance not tannic acid carried down by the hide powder.
 After careful experiment. this meth- cd was abandoned, and reliance placed entirely on the permanganate method, expressing the result in terms of OK alic acid. While this method has some serious defects, it possesses the advantage of being fairly comparable for the same material, The method used in all analyses is as follows:
 Two and one-half grams of sub stance were weighed into an Erlen- meyer flask: one hundred and fifty cubic centimeters of boiling water added and the whole allowed to boil twenty minutes, cooled and made up to 250 cubic centimeters and allowed to stand twelve hours. Five cubic centimeters of the filtrate, in presence of indigo carmen and suiphuric acid, was titrated against q permanganate solution until blue color had complete | ly disappeared. The filtration was carried on in porcelain dish with a capacity of one thousand cubic centi- meters, the tanning material and in- digo carmen being diluted with about seven hundred cubic centimeters of water A quantity of the tannin so- lution was exhausted with hide pow der and five cubic centimeters titrat- ed as above The difference was cal culated as oxalic acid. No attempt has been made to work out the factor by which the oxalic acid may be re- duced to tannic acid, as at best the results are comparative only with canaigre. The method is essentially that used by the German tanners, and is found in Aliens Commercial Organ ic Analysis, p. 109. It was found pre- ferable to exhaust with hide powder rather than with gelatin.

In July, 1891, plots on the uniyersi- ty grounds were planted with canai- gre obtained from the Rillito creek bottoms. The soil is rather com pact grayelly loam quite different from that on which canaigre is usual ly found. No plants appeared above ground until October, but from that time the growth continued slowly and steadily all winter.
 lIair-like roots had formed. and in a month these were three to six inch es long and as large as lead pencil. During the winter they were irrigated about once a month. Toward the last of March the tops began to grow rap idly, pushed up seed stalks, formed seed, anG dried back May 1. At this time the new roots averaged about five ounces. The content of jamie acid in dry sample was about the same as end of first month. From June, 1892, until January, 1893. sam pies have been taken from undis- turbed new roots for analysis.

 By which it will be seen that 6 tons of green roots or tons of dried roots, will make ton of extracted matter, containg 66 per cent. jamie acid, if all loss is avoided.
 From the above table it will be seen that six tons of green root will make two tons cut and dried root, and that these six tons of green root can be made into one ton of extract: or, with one handling. the six l6l tons of green root can be concentrated to one CD ton of extract containing the same amount of tannic acid. The saving of labor in handling will be enormous, besides leaving more money in the district growing canaigre and bag asse which could be returned to the land, burned as fuel or made passa- ble cattle food. As cattle food it would have about the same value as wheat straw.
 In making extract, it may be found desirable to use the green roots, cut ting or shedding them, and then fol- low the so-called diffusion process by which sugar is obtained from beets and cane. It would probably be nec- essary to use pans and pipes of cop per, as the tannic acid acts strongly on iron. Extraction and eyap- oration in the open air tends toa re- version of the tannic acid to gallic acid. It would. therefore, be neces- sary to use vacuum pans as in sugar house. By evaporation under dimin- ished pressure there need be no loss of tannic acid, and extract will be obtained high in tannic acid and of good color, which will be readily solu- ble in water. The amount of starch in the attractive matter will vary with the method of handling. Being allowed to settle, it can nearly all be removed, or, if thought desirable, it can all be retained.
