SAVING MONEY.
Councilmanic Blunders Net the City
Thousands of Dollars.

The contract for paving awarded to
Blair e. Kennedy Wednesday nisht en-
braces about 5000 yards. Their former
bid was thirty-one cents yard higher
than the one on which they secured
the work. This reduction saves the
property owners and city about $1,000
The difference between the contract
price and Coon & Linds9y's first bid is
seventeen cents a yard or more than
a thousand dollars on the job, hence
the councilmanio blunder of failing to
give the work TO the lowest bidder on
the former occasion has saved con-
siderable sum.

THE SOILS OF SALT RIVER VAL
LEY.

River valley have just been pub.
hshed in Bulletin No. 28 of the
Agricultural Experiment Station,
at Tucson. The object of the ex.
aminatlons was to determine the
general character Of the soils of
this region with a view TO finding
out their merits and defects from
an agricultural point of view and
advancing practical suggestions on
the basis of this knowledge, thus
satisfyingsthe demand for informa-
ton on this topic,
After explaining the utility of
soil analyses in general the Bulle-
tin proceeds to state in full the
analyses of about twenty repre-
sentative soils from various parts
of the cultivated portions of Salt
River valley adjacent to Glandale,
Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. The
Bulletin contains map with loca'
tions Of soil samples marked so
that those familiar with the valley
will he able to connect their own
experience with the discussion of
the laboratory results contained in
the Bulletin.
The points especially considered
ia the Bulletin are:
1.-The amounts of the various
essential elements of fertility, in
cluding lime, potash phosphoric
acid and nitrogen, together with
other constituents of more or less
direct value in sustaining plant
life.
because of the Importance
Of the behavior Of soils with water
in an irrigated country much at
tention has been paid in these ex-
aminations to the power of these
soils to hold water, to supply it to
crops, and the co imperative rapid
ity with which it is taken up dur
ing irrigation and lost by drain
age. In this connection the vari-
Gus types of soils adapted to
different crops, such as grains,
trees and alfalfa are indicated and
the Bulletin may be of practical
value in the selection of land for
these various purposes.
3.-In all the samples the
amount and nature of the alkali is
determined and it's probable effect,
injurious or otherwise, discussed
in each case.
In summing up the results of the
Bulletin it is stated that the soils
of Salt River valley are rich IN the
elements of fertility commonly
supplied in fertilizers, with the
possible exception of nitrogenous
compounds, such as are supplied
by means of nitrates and to some
extent in barnyard manure and
other common fertilizers. The
presence in the soil of large
amounts of zeolites, containing
large stores of plant food, which
are slowly given up as required
points to excellent wearing power
in the soils Of this region.
With few exceptions alkali il
not present in injurious amounts
for most crops. In few locali
ties it is sufficiently abundant t.
prevent cultivation of the sol
until special means for its remova
have been taken, but on the Who'll
the alkali is much less of prob
lem in Salt River valley than il
many other agricultural regions o
the Southwest. The alkali, a
should be noted, also is yer,

consisting chiefly of common and
Glauber's salts and much less in
furious than "black" alkali, which
is simply another name for sal
soda.
The opinion is advanced that
the chief trouble with the soils of
this region lies less in any defic-
iency of the elements of fertility
than in the dense compacted con-
dition of these arid soils. This is
due to various causes, such as
burning up of vegetable mould, or
humus, by the heat and drouth Of
oul long, hot summers, presence of
alkali, the packing action of heavy
rains, etc.
The cheapest and most prctical
method ofrelieving the dense con.
dltion of the virgin soils Of the
valley in connection, of course,
with thorough tillage, is the ad-
ditlon of humus to these soils.
Since humus contains large
amounts of nitrogen its addition
to the soil would result in making
good the deficiency of this element
of fertility in most of the soils of
the valley. The principal means
by which this addition of humus
and nitrogen is made is the growth
of alfalfa and other leguminous
crops upon the land. The strong
roots of alfalfa in particular loosen
the soil to great depths, making it
impervious to air and water, while
the decay of old roots and stubhle
contributes humus to the soil.
More than this, alfalfa has the re.
markable power Of taking nitrogen
from the air and transferring it to
the soil in forms which make it
available to subsequent crops
Alfalfa is simply one of a great
class Of plants known as legumes
which have this particular power
and one of the most important
questions for investigation at the
present time is that of finding out
the most useful leguminous plants
for the purpose of green-manuring
in this region.
In a few words the chief con-
cluSions arrived at in the Bulletin
are:
THAT the chief deficiencies
Of the soils of the valley, in gener-
al, are the lack ofvegetable mould,
or humus, and of nitrogen, which
is usually associated with hunus.
2.-That these deficiencies, in
any reasonable scheme of agrlcul.
ture in this region, must be made
good by some process of green
manuring, which simply means
that various leguminous crops
such as alfalfa, clover, vetches OF
others must be grown upon the
land for at least part of the time.
