TEMPE
ALKALI LANDS.
Their Reclamation By Government Ex'
 perts-the Work Here.

Mir. c. W. Dorsey of Washington. D. C.. in charge of the aIkan reclamation of lands in the bureau Of soils. Is now in Tempe looking after the interests of his department hero. Asked yesterday what he could give out for publication, MT. Dorsey very kindly explained to the writer the details of the observa- tions and experiments that are now being carried on by the government relative to retaining alkaH lands Space will not permit the explanation of the work as MT. Dorsey gave it.. but that which most particularly in terests Tempe readers is naturally the work that has been carried on near here for several years past.
 MT Dorsey has been n Tempe sew eraI times before but this will proba- bIv be his last visit here for some time to come as the work here is prac- t!cally completed. The government has been carrying on observations under l his care in a number of different parts | of the United States similar to the
 work that has been done here. Exper-
 iments are being made in different
 parts of California, Salt Lake City, al | North Yakima, Washington where Y Carl Holmes of tn s place is now To-

cated and in various other states. The plots that have been under observation for the past few years, however, are now about completed; that is. the land that was prepared and cultivated un- der the care of government employees, has been pronounced reclaimed and turned over to it's owners, the lan1 in each case having been leased for pe- riod of years. MT. Dorsey is now look ing up further locations for future ob servation for in his field there is still room for much to be done and learned although a great deal has already been accomplished.
 He expects to complete his work here and leave for California tomorrow night and will then visit other pro- jects under his charge in the north west.
 Speaking of the land that has been cared for here by the government on the w. T. Cummings ranch with which Tempe people are all more or less ia miliar. Mr. Dorsey said that the result was very satisfactory. Jay F. Warner has been in charge here during the progress of the work and much of the success of the project has been due to his close and experienced atten- ton to the matter in hand. The ground, it will be remembered. was tiled for drainage about two years
 ago. A good stand of alfalfa has since been grown on the piece and with the 1 exception of a very small part of it, | the property is now in first class con ] dition. A small piece of the tract is not yet in alfalfa, but this year it pro-

Marshall has been dark for some

Work is being carried on along
scientific lines by professors from
the State Experimental station over
in Lyon county for the extermina-
ton of that pest to the farmer, wild
mustard. The entire field is sprayed
with a solution of sulphate of iron,
a very cheap material, and it is said
the mustard, the ragWeed, and
other weeds turn black and are
killed by the treatment, while the
grain is not injured in the least. If
the method proves successful another
epoch in farming may have said to
be passed. No greater nuisance
than mustard is known to the wheat
grower.
