the de cline In stocks was not large.
The Lima oil stocks made heav-
Ter decrease, bat the decline was
not nearly SO great as during the
previous month. The net decrease
was at the rate OF about seven thou.
sand barrels day. The new dis
coveties In the southwest that have
been interesting features of the
field developments are responsible
for a gain of nearly S 600 barrels a
day In the output of Pennsylvania
oil.
There was heavy decrease In
the pipe line stocks during August
consequent upon large increase In
the demand for both Pennsylvania
and Trenton Rock oils. At the
same time there was good sized
drop In the production of ::Pennsyl-
vania and a small decline In the
output of Lima oil. AS foreshad
owed by the field report of new op.
erations the wells completed dur
Ing August were insufficient to
check the declining yield of the
older sections of the new oil fields.
The yield of Pennsylvania oil de-
.clined over 5000 barrels day In
August, while the shipments In
creased at the rate of 5000 barrels
a day.

It is said in the report that there is too much alkal for any ordinary crop That the alkali will rise to the sur face after a season or two of irrigat- Ing.

The Imperial Soils.

l. W. Gleason, of Riverside. who has had enough confidence in the Imperial Lands to invest several thousand dol lars of the settlement thus writes to the Redlands Enterprise.
 What has the appearance of an au- thentic report upon the soil about Inn perial, by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture is going the rounds of the newspapers.
 IL would seem to the uninitiated that such statements from such high au- thority would strike terror to the hearts of those who had invested their money in this country.
 This would undoubtedly be the case if We had not seen crops of many kinds growing with wonderful luxuriance on the lands and SO are more inclined to put confidence in Mother Nature than in any chemist of no matter how high standing.
 It has long been known that there were parts that would not produce or dinary crops proftably without being first washed out by the abundance of cheap water but these lands have not been filed upon.
 If carefully read 1t will be seen that the question of usefulness of these lands for farming purposes. according to this report, depends upon whether or not the subsoil fills with water that cannot leach away. and thus brings back to the surface the salts that have been washed down.

Opinions of a Chemist.

The San Diego Union. in comment ing upon the report of the Washing. ton experts. says.
 The recently published report of the chief of the bureau of soils of the az. ricultural department contains the re- suit of a survey of the soil in the eastern part of the county in and about Imperial. as made by Thomas IT. Means and J. Garnett Holmes. The survey extended from Calexico northward twenty-two miles. and the condition reached ls that alkali exists in such quantities that agriculture is questionable proportion. and one re- quirlng much caution on the part of investors" The report of the sur voyors is exhaustive. and reviews the conditions on the desert. and con tinues with some advice as to what crops to plant and how to plant them. also what not to plant and where not to plant anything.
 The publication of some of the re- port Is causing great deal of com ment on the part of the people who are interested In the lands in ques- tion or who happen to know the con ditions there and in other sections of the country where like conditions existed and still exist
 C. Collier Robbins. the well known chemist. whose years of experience in such matters compel attention to his opinions. writes as follows:
 Commencing on the conclusions reached by the government chemist. 1 wish to say that the same condi. tions as to alkali soils prevailed in Salt Lake Valley from lS46 to 1850. The Mormons who settled in the val ley for the first year plowed up the land and it was covered as white as snow from the effects of the alkali. The second year the hot sun evapo- rated IL somewhat. The third year exposed the larvae from the crickets and grasshoppers. Then thousands of sea gulls came and feasted on the young crickets and grasshoppers: af- ter that there was no trouble in rais- ing potatoes and all kinds of vege. tables. and Salt Lake Valley to-day Is the garden spot of Utah.
 The settlers of the New River country have nothing to fear from the effects of alkali All the land needs Is deep blowing and exposure to the hot rays of the sun '
