In the canvass that MIR. Rayner Is max
ing for nomination to the United States
Senate from the n.ato of Maryland ne
pleads for an open session OF the Demo-
cratic caucus, so that everybody may
know how each Democratic member votes
In tho senatorial contest.
We had supposed that that was the
method in nominating caucuses every
where. Here in Virginia there never is
any difficulty in the public's finding out
how a member voted upon any particular
question. The reporters Of the Democrat
ic press always are admitted into the
Democratic caucus, and liberty is given
Thorn to publish the various roll calls.
The fact Is that Information Of this de-
scription would get into tho papers
whether the CAUCUS permitted 1t or not;
but it is the wise and prudent part for
the caucus to allow the reporters to have
access to the official roll calls, rather
than force them to go around and gather
this information by questioning many
persons
Mr.. Rayners wish ought to be granted.

IN THE annual report which
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has submitted to the President
he says: During the past year
the bureau of soils has been
engaged in making alkali re
clamation demonstrations in the
arid West. Referring to an
extensive experiment located
near Salt Lake City, where an
area of $4,000 acres is unproduc-
tive because of an excess of
alkali, a tract Of forty acres was
secured and the work of reclama-
ton, in cooperation with the
Utah experiment station, was
undertaken.
AT the beginning this tract
was found to contain more than
p per cent of salt, or total of
$3.50 tons in four feet of soil.
thirds of this quantity has
now been removed by the simple
method Of under drainage and
flooding.
1t is believed that the entire
area will be sufficiently sweetened
by the end of the present season
to permit growing shallow
crop. The value of alkali lands
at Salt Lake City is but So per
acre, as against 500 to $3.50 an
acre for lands not affected. The
cost of installing the drama ge
system was about SIC an acre.
An experiment was also under
taken near Fresno, Cal, where
an excess of alkali caused a
depreciation in lands aggregat
ing not less than 81, 900, 900. The
work here has been as successful
