I may be had of the department of agri-
culture for the asking. Mr.. Dorsey
says: ''The term 'alkali, as com
monty used in arid and semi-arid re-
| gions, refers to accumulations OF
water soluble mineral salts. The prin-
cipal substance composing alkali con-
sists of chlorides. sulphates and car
| Donates of sodium, magnesium and
calcium, or a mixture of two or more
of these salts. other substances may
be found, but they are relatively un-
important Generally speaking, alkali
consists of three principal ingredients
sodium chloride or common salt.
sodium sulphate, or Glauber's salt, and
sodium carbonate. or sal soda. Alkali
! is commonly spoken of as white al
kali and black alkali. depending upon
! the appearance of the incrustatons
caused by excessive accumulation on
the surface. Usually when large guam
titles of sodium sulphate or sodium
| chloride accumulate on the surface its
presence is marked by a white incrus-
| tation, hence the term in common use
white alkali. Since sodium carbonate,
titles, corrodes the vegetable matter
Of the soil. forming n brown or dark
stain, it Is called black alkali. .
The soils of arid regions, as compared
with those found in humid regions, are
by far the richer in water soluble min
eral salts. -. The appearance of
alkali is due to the fact that the irri-
cation waters have penetrated to the
deep sub soil. dissolving the stores of
soluble salt held there. Subsequent
evaporation of much of the water at
the surface deposits the salts dissolved
from the entire column of soil. If suf-
ficient water We're added not only to
start a downward movement of the
salts. but also to leach them away into
the country drainage, the soil would
then be entirely free from such ac-
cumulations."
The demonstration experiment at
North Yakima was estab- shed in the
summer of 1903, the third of its kind
in the United States. Twenty two
acres of what is known as the Gervais
place, situated on the Ahtanum road,
directly south of the city. were chosen
for this demonstration. Wide Hollow
creek cuts through the southern end
