s'Rss nv 4 AlkaIl Soils.
In different parts OF the West there
has been much complaint Of ''alka1i
soils. " In all cases complained Of
these soils have been under cultiva-
ton, the alkali at first not seeming to
affect the crops. The rendering bar.
rem Of the soil has occurred after the
application OF irrigation water, and
usually after number Of years OPP
erations. Year by year these barren
tracts have increased till 1t has be-
come a question Of some moment as to
what should be done to reclaim tho
lest areas and to prevent other areas
from becoming also infertile. On care
full investigation it has been found
that the alkali in these soils was so
distributed through the soils at first
that It was not harmful to planta.
Thus. in layer Of earth three feet
deep there would be a certain amount
of alkali, enough to be decidedly
harmful II it were moved from its po-
sition in the subsoil and accumulated
in the first foot of soil. The irriga-
ting Of the fields and orchards has
brought about this very thing, as the
amount Of water applied was not SUI
fcient to more than supply the needs
of the crop and of evaporation. Had
the water been sufficiently abundant
to have supplied a good quantity for
drainage the alkali would have re-
NAMED largely distributed through the
soil. AS it was, the water In three
feet of soil was gradually drawn up
ward by capillary attraction and took
the alkali with it. Thus the alkali
was brought to the surface and de-
posted in thin layer. A continuance
OF this process increased the alkali tc
point where it destroyed all vege.
tation. The Arizona station has ap.
parently solved the question for al
localities that are subject to food
waters. These should be used to food
these lands, covering them to depth
OF eight inches or more. The result
would be the carrying away Of much
OF the alkali and the washing Of othel
portions into the subsoil.

Orchard Work In Southern Illinois.
The department of horticulture Of
the Agricultural Experiment station
at the University of Illinois is pre-
pairing for extensive field work in
southern Illinois during the present
season. Although there are many
problems requiring investigation, the
most important one now confronting
the fruit growers is the control of the
bitter rot Of the apple, and this has
been selected for thorough study this
year. This disease has been most dis
astrous in its attack upon the apple
crops of southern Illinois. and unless
some effective means can be discov-
cred to keep the fungus in check, it
Will render the production Of apples
q rather precarious business in many
sections of the apple growing dis
tricts. The experiments this season
will be conducted upon a practical
scale In three large orchards, p3r-
lions Of which have been placed un-
der the immediate control OF the de-
rartment by the owners. Orchards at
Tonti, Flora and Tamaroa have thus
been secured. In addition, the de-
partment will have the hearty sup
port and cooperation of a number Of
growers In southern Illinois; thus u
thorough investigation Of the subject
is assured. The main line Of work
will consist Of experimental spraying
with two points in view; early spray
ing as preventive measure will be
tested, and the efficacy Of later ap-
plications for the control of the dis
ease after 1t makes its appearance will
be determined. In order to facili-
tate the work headquarters will be
established at Salem, where horti-
cultural and botanical laboratory will
be fitted up.

The c.mpb.ll Method Approved.


Several years ago, when Mr.. Camp
bell was publishing through the coun.
try the wonderful things that his sys.
tenn of soil culture would do, he re-
ceived small attention. We thought
then, and think now, that his system
is of no particular use in Illinois
Wisconsin and adjoining states or II
other states where the supply of sol
moisture is ample in most years. The
system seems to be particularly adap.
ted to the lands in the more arid re.
gions, especially where those lands
have the. soil water long distances
from the surface. For some years now
the system has been tried in Western
Kansas, and favorable reports are re.
ceived from it. Professor H. M. Cot.
trell, Of the Kansas Experiment Sta.
ton. is particularly enthusiastic In
support of it for Kansas. He relates
many circumstances where it has Civ.
en- good sized crops where all others
have failed, and says that every farm.
er in Western Kansas should give it q
trial. Mr.. Campbell has purchased e
farm at Hill City, Graham County
Kansas, on which he is showing what
his method can do. The farm was one
of the most unproductive ones in ths
county, the crops generally failing or
account of drouth. Mr.. Campbell has
changed all that. The crops grown
on his lands last year were good ones
while crops grown by other methods
failed. 1t may be that the Campbell
soil culture will yet push the line Of
profitable farming further west.

llisssuri Er1it Report

= g.
y a Goodman, secretary 4 Of the
Missouri State Horticultural Society,
g sends lls out the following report: @
. Apple prospects are fairly promising
In all parts Of the state where orch
ards have been we'll cultivated. and
are not too old, or did not have an
overload Of apples last year. The
orchards showing best are the young
trees. Reports now Justify about 60
per cent OF q crop of apples.
Pears have withstood the drouth
better than the apple. and where the
blight has not injured the trees full
crop can be expected.
Peach prospects are good in south
west part and extreme south central
portion. The cold Of last December
killed virtually. all the peach buds
north Of the Missouri river, and there
will be only few scattering peaches
and seedlings in all that district.
South Of the river and In southwest
part of the state, we find the injury
getting less and less. We can report
from this district so to Is per cent Of q
crop and at the same time some spe-
cial localities report full crop.
Plums being much more hardy in
bud. give promise Of very fair crop
indeed.
Cherry trees are loaded with bios
SONS and the prospects now are for
at least q good average crop.
Grape prospects are still good.
The strawberry plantations suffered
more last year than for many years.
From reports received, the acreage
will be less than one-half Of last
year, and many Of these even will
show light crop. We can only re-
port about one-third Of the usual sup
ply Of berries from Missouri.
The raspberry and blackberry also
were SO badly injured by the drouth
that we can count on only .one-third
to one-half the usual supply Of these
berries. While the blackberry vines
did not die, yet they grew so little. be-
Ing loaded with berries last year, that
we cannot expect full crop Of them.

Charleston, April 9.-This is "Presi-

events of the day began with grand
procession through the principal
streets of Charleston and afterwards
there were speeches in the exposition
auditorium, the presentation OF a
sword by the president to Major Micah
Jenkins, a luncheon at the Woman's
building and an inspection of the
grounds and buildings. The parade was
the most imposing Charleston has ever
seen. With the conclusion of the ex-
ercises at the auditorium the presi-
dental party made tour of the great
buildings of the exposition. At 2 o'clock
the president and party were taken
to the Woman's building, where lunch
con was served by the woman's board.
President Roosevelt delivered an ad-
dress at the exposition this afternoon.
The president began by alluding to
Georgia as the birthplace of his moth
er's people. The union of sentiment of
north and south. brought about by the
war with Spain, was the most impor-
tant result of that war. He spoke of
the gallantry of the southern soldiers.
Both Northerner and Southernor will
always strive to serve the country In
peace as we'll as in war. In the exhi-
bition a particular effort was made to
get into touch with the West Indies.
He considered this wise as it would
bring prosperity to the south. He
spoke of the general prosperity OF the
country and said that in general way
combinations were good but they must
keep within the law. On the other
hand the laws must be wise. Above
ALL the administration of the govern
ment must be fair and honest and the
laws not administered in the interest
of either Door or rich.
