MEASURING INTEREST

The Press and Farmer is not much given to blowing its own horn, and it is only because its success is indicative of the wide interest in Imperial valley that it alludes to certain facts. It is drawing things mildly to say that it has larger circulation than any paper published within fifty miles of Imper- ial, and this statement is emphasized by the fact that there is no other paper published within that distance. It might probably be added that the Press and Farmer has the widest cir culation of any paper in the county, for it goes as far east as Asia Minor, as for west as the Hawaiian islands, as far north as Canada, and as far south as Argentine Republic, having bona tidc subscribers at each of those extreme points. It prints enough pa pers to satisfy the pressman and the postal mail clerks, and though less than year old and printed in region uniuhabited d few months since, it finds thousand copies barely enough to meet legitimate demands.

The officers chosen by the directors are: President, w. F. Holt; president, A. H. Heber: cashier, Leroy Holt w. F. Holt has acquired large additional interests in the bank during the last few days, and he and Leroy Holt own a large majority of the stock. At the close of the third week of the banks business deposits ran to over $l2,OOO, with steady in- crease in the amount. This is much in excess of expectations at so early a date in the banks history.

Four Graders at Work

The three new graders have been set to work during the last few days, the older one remaining in active com- mission. As each of these machines is propelled by twenty mules a vast amount of earth is being poured out of the laterals being dug. The scrapers also remain in commission, and thus not only is the amount of work form erly done in progress, but great addi- tions have been made to the amount of work done in a day.

Alkali Alkali spot before alfalfa was planted 236,6sO Alfalfa field; alka1i washed down lS,64O

"In the natural alkali soil the salts are distributed downward, somewhat evenly, except that there are in the surface foot nearly 10000 pounds of common salt, while in the alfalfa field the alkali salts are chiefly below the second foot. A closer examination would doubtless have shown the main body of alkali to have been washed down to six feet from the surface, or even deeper.
 "Too much emphasis cannot, there fore, be placed upon the importance of thus controlling alkali and keeping it below a depth of four or five feet"

It is partic- ularly noticeable now that a large per centage of the new corners are from other portions of Southern California where grain is dying for want of rain, the farmers wishing to get where they will have bountiful water for irrigation.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY
 ON SCIENCE OF SOIL s

alfa fields where the plant was grow ing and where it had died. The max imum amount of total alkali found to a depth of four feet where the plant was growing we'll was II, ,So0 pounds, in which there was very little common salt and 1900 pounds of carbonate of soda; while a short distance from this, where the plant had died, there was but containing HOO pounds of common salt and 1000 pounds of carbonate. In the first case the carbonate was chiefly in the lower third and fourth feet, while where the crop was dead the'car- bouate was chiefly in the upper two feet.
 "In the neighborhood of Yuma, alf- alfa fields were seen by Mir. J. F. Snow (student assistant in the laboratory to be strongly charged with alkali and yet to be in fine condition. He was told that four years were required in getting a good stand, but after that the plant grew luXuriantly, yielding seven cuttings per year. The amounts and character of the salts are given in the table [79,76O pounds in four feet and 11O, 1920 pounds in six feet per acre.. From another field where the alfalfa was also growing luxuriantly Mir. Snow found similar amounts of alkali of quite nearly the composition given above, except that the total in the first foot was nearly 17,OO0 pounds (.424 per cent),instead of 15,00O pounds.
 ''While alfalfa is easily killed by alkali when young, it will tolerate as much as 6,O0O pounds of common salt, 5000 pounds of carbonate, and 102, ,000 pounds of sulfate in six feet per acre if it succeeds in getting good start and in sending it's roots below the surface of the soil; and especially if the greater part of the alkali be sulfates. It is therefore very essential that prior to sowing alfalfa the alkali salts should be leached downward from the surface by thorough irrigation, until the plant is old enough to resist their attack by the hardening of it's root-crown.
 "The importance of thoroughly washing the alkali deeply into the soil before the seed is planted, and keeping it there by proper means until the foliage of the plant shades the soil sufficiently to prevent the rise of mois- ture ana alkali, is well illustrated in the region of Bakersfield, where all falfa is now growing in soils once heavily charged with alkali. From one of these fields samples of soil were taken by us where the alkali was sup posed to be strongest beneath the all falfa, and also from an adjoining un- treated alkali spot which was said to represent conditions before alfalfa was planted. The results are given in pounds per acre in four feet depth.

the soil. Mir. Thomas Means of the United States bureau of soils, while in Imperial short time since, said that no soil chemist can tell from an anal ysis of soil whether it will produce a crop or not, on account of other un- known factors. Among the most in- portant factors is that of drainage and height of underground water level. The study of drainage in it's influence on soils is new, and yet it is an inter- esting one.
 For instance, bulletin No. 133, on Tolerance of .Alkali by Various Gull tures," recently issued by the Califor- mia Agricultural experiment station, of which Prof. E. w. Hilgard is di- rector, shows that near Bakersfield soil carrying 236,6 pounds of alkali in six feet of the soil, per acre, has had the alkali forced down by the simple process of irrigation, until there was but IS, ,640 pounds of alkali to the acre, on which alfalfa is now growing.
 Whether teaching down alkali be possible or not in any given area de- bends on the character of the country. In most countries where alkali gives trouble the underground water level is within a few feet of the surface of the ground, and lack of natural drain age makes it impossible to force down the alkali. In localities where there is deep, dry soil through which water can percolate and find vent at lower level there is the best opportunity to leach the land.
 There is not a large valley i'll the West but has its alkali spots, and there are such in the Imperial valley, where there are considerable deposits of com mon salt in places. Such lands have been very generally summed by set tiers, under the advice of representa- lives of the Imperial Land Company. Yet it is not improbable that the salty lands will prove very valuable. The drilling of well at Imperial disclosed several hundred feet of dry soil, with out the bottom of the soil being found. If anywhere irrigation water carries down salts, one would expect it to wipe out the salt spots in the Imperial val ley. Moreover, within four miles of Imperial is Mesquite Lake, seventy feet below the surrounding country. Several excavations in Imperial and at scattered points through the valley have disclosed strata of light sand at depths of from two to six feet, these sand beds being ideal conduits for nat ural drainage.
 Taking these facts into considera- tion, it seems altogether proba ble that even the salt spots in the valley will become highly productive.
 To show what has been done else where the following extract is made from Prof. Hilgard's bulletin, No. 133:
 ''As this (alfalfa) is the most impor- tant of the fodder plants of the State, we have made special efforts to ascer tain the limits of tolerance of the var ious salts of alkali, but have been largely disappointed, because of the fact that the amount varies according to the stage of growth of the plant. When young its roots are very tender and sensitive to the corrosive action of carbonate of soda, and being con- E,,ad to +l,a unpar foot ar two Of the
