A FARMERS OBSERVATIONS

IeIUIIB Jue WHCeI run Ol Jn6 dlldIldj and into the low places and endeavored to raise grain by sub-rrigation. We found that while on the irrigated lands the alkali was decreasing and harmless, the sub-irrigation method applied to l the higher lands in our fields brought the alkali to the surface in injurious amounts. So we learned from that experience to flood all our lands for best results, both with alfalfa and grain. One of my neighbors at Hanlord. at that time, had an expe "ience fully Illustrating this point. His land was naturally moist, and for several years he raised wheat crops from the natural moisture and rains. But the alkali raised on his land till he was compelled to irrigate it and reduce the alkali to an extent that would permit profitable farming. When 1 first began irrigating my farm near Hanford it was eighteen feet to water; during the wet winters sometimes the water level would rise to within three feet of the surface, and at times when we had two or three years of small rainfall the water level would recede to fifteen feet below the surface.
 The operation of irrigating in any country can be briefly .tated as follows: The water put on the higher lands, will, if they are sandy, deep soil, gradually sink to the water level of the whole country, and this added water will raise this water level for the whole district. AS this water goes down it takes the alkai with it and as the undertow of the water is toward the low lands, it goes that way and takes the alkali with it. The rise in the water level brings the water clcse enough to the surface on the low lands as to make them naturally moist and not in need of irrigation; and par ties owning high land will continue to irrigate it and the water percolate or flow to the low lands and carry the alkali with it.
 In the Salt River Valley, Arizona, where 1 farmed for number of years before coming to Imperial Valley, the soil is deep sandy loam. Before irri- gating, it was thirteen feet to water on my land, but after full irrigating sea- son. if we had rainy spell, the water would raise to within two or three feet of the surface, and during long dry spell when irrigatlng water would be scarce, the water level would sink back to thirteen feet below the surface. 1 had an open well on my farm there and could watch the rise and fall of the water level very effectively. When my neighbor would irrigate for three or four days the water in my well would rise two feet. The operations in the Salt River Valley all went to show that where there is an underground drainage alkali can be driven down to the water below and carried away with the under ground flow of the water. A farm corneIing with mine ill Arizona was not irrigated for three years and the alkali raised to the surface in injurious quan- tities Subsequent irrigation drove the alkali down and restored the land. 1 also recall piece of land that had hard pan a short distance from the surface. This hardpan held the water and kept the land wet AS it was not irripated

. ItCOuIIN puDISntu bulleull Ol JIle hSTl- cultural Department, l desire space in the PRESS to give some of my experience with alkali lands, and to treat the mat ter from the standpoint of the practical farmer l have had about thirty years eX XperiencG in irrigating lands of more or less alkaline character. was al Fresno, llanford and Bakersfield in this State, when that country was nothing but sheep ranges, and 1 have seen all that country put under irrigation and a great deal of it is more or less aliali. Before buying land in the Imperial Valley in 1902, 1 read Mr. Holmes first report, so had the benefit of his state ments and views at the time of making my purchase.
 In buying land the practical farmer looks out for several points, and one is the natural fertility of the land. bought 320 acres of land that showed more alkali than any other in that part of the Valley. From my experience and observation 1 was not afraid of the alkali that showed so plainly on this land. bought it for it's fertility, and sometimes alkali denotes fertile land. As soon as 1 put water on this land and gave it the proper irrigation, the alkali disappeared. Regarding my land 1 would say MT. Holmes said there was too much alkai for crops, and that irrigation would bring the alkali to the surface and absolutely ruin our crops. Mir. Holmes statement could be correct under certain conditions, but 1 do not find those conditions tC be pl esent in Imperial Valley.
 From Mir. Holiness statement one could infer that irrigation would bring aIkali to the surface under any condi- | tions. With all due difference to Mir. Holmes and his scientific ability, we will state that this is not the case. AlkaIi is soluble salts, and dissOlves in the rrigating water and is carried with it. The water must go down in some soils, carrying the alkali with it, perco- late through the land and rise in anoth- CT place to bring the alkali to the surface in greater quantity than was at first present. In no other way can an in- crease ill the quantity of alkali in par ticular lands take pla"e. When we first got water on our lands at Hanford, thirty years ago, there was more alkAll showing up on forty acres of my land at the end of the first years irrigation, than there is within two miles of my place here in Imperial Valley after three years of irrigation, and the longer we irrigate the less alkali shows.
 Around Hanf1rd the land is deep, sandy loam and not so level as in this Valley. There, as we got the land under cultivation the water we put on the lower land would sink, and perco- late through the soil to the higher lands and percolate up to the surface bring ing the alkali with it, then evaporate and leave the alkali. In all watered countries there is an under flow of water, which forces itself through the soil toward the lower lands. lrrigatlng water sinks, carrying the alkali with 1t, till it joins this under drainage current, and is carried away by it.
