No Boomers In Classroom.

Cambridge Dispatch N. Y. Times)
Prof Samuel Arthur King is hav-
ing a hard time of it at Wellesley
College to teach the fair members of
his freshman class not to wear bloom
ers in the classroom.
Professor King, who has for some
time been identified with Bryn Mawr
College, one day last week forbade
his pupils to come to the classroom in
their gymnasium suits. OF course,
they wore skirts over their boomers
SO he couldn't see them, but the loose
blue flannel blouse still remained to
jar his sense of the aesthetic.
There were not many freshmen in
the lecture-room that day. Many lived
far off in the village, and absolutely
refused to go home and change
clothes. The others joined with them
In a sympathetic strike.
At the lecture tomorrow, however,
there will be full attendance. Even
ing dresses and party gowns will be
worn, and curious combinations of
colors, such as are designed to calm
the most violent aesthetic turmoils,
will be displayed. Much speculation
is being INDUCED in as to whether
Professor King will like that better
than just plain blue.

undcrlaid with hardpan, is of deep. sandy character. There is quite All area of adobe lands in Salt River Valley. These lands are chiefly devoted to grain farming and are generally free from alkali.
 The land in the Imperial Valley are different from any others with which I have ever had experience. It was made by the sediment from tile Colo rado river, and with very few exceptions is of an adobe character, and water will not sink and flow under ground as at Hanford, and in the Salt River Valley. My observation and experience in three years of irrigating in this Val ley proves to me that, while the water in our adobe soils will not sink to a water level and form All under drain age that will carry it off and take the alkali with it, it will go down few feet in our soil and will take the alkali with it. When the water is turned off from our lands after an irrigation, the first thing the soil does when it begins to dry out, is to crack open, and while it is dry on the surface these cracks form new evaporation level below the surface of the ground ald the land re- mains wet below this level, the water evaporating and passing off through these cracks and leaving the alkali be- low. In this way the alkali is carried below the surface and cannot rise. As the lands continue in irrigation the land may become wet deeper down, if so, 80 much the better, as it will take the alkali that much further away. The depth to which it will sink depends on the kind of land and length of time i, is in cultivation.
 The farmer is not going to buy water and put it on his crops unless they need it, for if he uses too much it in
The Imperial press., 1905-03-25

jures his crops The whole secret Of the control of alkali in this Valley IS that the water drives the alkali down to a point below where the roots Ol our crops penetrate and the adobe nature of the lands causes them to crack and that lets the water evaporate without bringing the alkali up to where 1t does any harm. Land that has been cropped will remain damp a foot or two feet down froM the surface, that is perfectly dry OH the surface. This shows that all the farmer irrigates for after he gets his crops started, is lol the purpose Of wetting the land as deep as the crop re- quires; alfalfa on sandy land would be wet deeper. There is no danger from aIkali rising in this Valley from irriga- tion. The soil does not permit of it.. Water will not flow under the ground in this country as in the Yuma valley and Salt River valley in Arizona, and at Hanford, Fresno and Bakersfield in this State.
 Down at SaltOn the water flows on the surface, and the salt is a deposit made by the sea when it evaporated.
 The longer this Valley IS irrigated, |, and the deeper the water sinks, the less alkali we will have, for the water will drive the alkali down and it cannot come to the surface unless the water level rises to bring it. The entire absence of underground drainage makes this impossible as no farmer will need use more water than is needed to raise his crops as there is no under drain.
