per cent of the salt is leached out
through the subsoil. The water flows
through the checks continuously to
avoid unnecessary leveling to keep
the entire area flooded and to keep
the dikes and boxes soaked SO that
they will not dry and check. Where
water stands in check until it sinks,
the floor of the check must be perfect
ly level or some of the surface is soon
out of the water. bikes which are
allowed to dry and crack give trouble
by washing when the checks are refill
ed.
Mr.. Williams has been very success
full in retaining alkali land by this
method. His success doubtless de-
ponds upon his method of laying out
the checks, the way he applies the
water, and his persistency in staying
with it until the land is conquered.
With an impervious hardpan of a
watertable near the surface Of the
ground this method would probably
not be so successful.
4. Flooding with Artificial Drain
age When the water table is near the
surface and the growth of plants pre-
vented by the presence of alkall, the
land must be UNDETERMINED before any
real progress can be made. The chief
drawback is the first expense. With
ready drainage outlet provided
whereby the seepage water may be
carried away, the excess of harmful
salts may be leached out of the soil
by the flooding method practiced by
Mr.. Williams.
Those contemplating the. recIama-
ton of alkali land should make a
thorough study of the subject So
many factors may enter into the
treatment of alkali soils that it is not
safe to conclude that certain method
will be successful in one district be-
cause il has reclaimed land in another.
The cause of the accumulation of the
alkali, the nature and amount of the
alkali, the character of the soil
whether sandy and porous or clayey
and impervious), the nature of the
hardpan, the depth to standing water,
the cost of reclamation and the value
of the land after redeemed should all

checks may be laid off with an in
strument or by using the water to
locate the position of the contour
dikes. In the latter case water is run
into each check until it has reached
the desired depth of the lower side.
The position of the next dixie is then
staked off by the margin of the water
on the upper side of the flooded
check. The water is then drained off
and the dixie constructed. Each check
has a box to carry the water into the
waste ditch or into the check below.
The size of the box is at least one
third larger than the size of the
stream flowing into the check. The
extra size of the box is to carry away
excess water that may come by the
breaking of the ditch, dixie or other
cause. The height of the water in
the checks is controlled by levels
placed in the boxes. While the land
is prepared for reclamation at any
time during the year, flooding does
not begin until after the irrigation
season is over. We're there plenty OF
water available it could begin at any
time.
Where the land is comparatively
level and the checks therefore large,
the water passes out into the waste
water ditch from each check. Where
the checks are small the same water
passes through three checks before
entering the waste water ditch, the
water entering at one end OF check
and passing out at the other. By his
arrangement it is seldom that more
than three checks are washed out by
the breaking of dixie.
The water is allowed to run through
the checks until the soil becomes so
puddled or hardened that the water
does not sink readily into the subsoil.
This usually requires from three to
four months. This condition of sur
face soil of the check may be de-
termined by wading into the water.
Ii the soil is so soft that the feet sink
into it the water is still passing down.
ward. When the soil becomes hard
the water is turned off and the soil
allowed to dry. AS soon as the soil
is dry enough the entire check is plow-
ed, the deeper the blowing the better.
The dikes are plowed down by throw
ing the soil outwards from the center
of the ridge. New dikes are construct
ed just above or below the position
of the old ones. This is to allow the
area occupid by the dixie chance to
be reclaimed The water is then
turned into the checks and the opera
ton repeated again and again until
the land is reclaimed.
Most alkali land contain spots from
five to 40 feet across that require
much longer to be reclaimed than the
bulk of the land. AS soon as all of
the land, excepting these spots, is
reclaimed it is seeded to alfalfa.
Elbow or half moon dikes are thrown
around these spots and water allowed
to run into and out of them all winter.
This is repeated year after year until
they are conquered. The spots are
then plowed and seeded to alfalfa.
During the first month of flooding
the waste water is discolored as 1t

land has been drained.
l. Scraping the Surface-At the
close of the dry season when the &C
emulation of salt is greatest in the
upper few inches of soil, the quantity
of alkali may be greatly reduced by
means of a horse scraper set to remove
a shallow depth from the surface of
the soil. On small areas scraping the
surface may be practicable but with
large areas the expense involved, the
distance to move the material and
the want of places to put it makes the
method very questionable. After
scraping the surface the alkali must
be washed out of the soil before the
land is reclaimed 1t would require
less time, however, if the surface is
scraped.
2. Surface Flushing-Where the
alkali land is comparatively level and
smooth and the soil and subsoil are
porous enough to permit the water
to sink, it may be partially reclaimed
by allowing a considerable volume OF
water to spread out and flow over the
surface of the ground. The area
covered by the water is irregular and
this method is chiefly of value in i'm
proving native pastures where 1T is
not desirable to go to the expense of
leveling and diking. After the water
a.. hn
to leach the alkali out of the soil or
to depth of several feet, clover and
other grasses may be started on the
reclaimed areas. Coil Bros, near
Walla Walla, WASH, have improved
alkali pasture land in this way.
3. Flooding without Artificial
Drainage The most essential condi-
tions necessary for the successful
operation of this method are that the
soil be naturally we'll drained and
the water table several feet below the
surface. During the last six years
Mr.. M. M. Williams has successfully
reclaimed 40 acres for himself and
partially reclaimed 800 acres for other
parties in the Walla Walla Valley near
Lowden, Wash. The salt with which
his land is quite strongly impregnat-
ed is mostly white alkali. This has
accumulated by natural processes.
The water table is to Is feet below
the surface. The land is underlain
with porous or faulty hardpan. In
retaining this land Mr.. Williams
proceeds as follows:
A waste water ditch is constructed
on the lower side of the tract to be
reclaimed and an intake ditch on one
or more of the upper sides as neces-
sity may demand. To avoid excessive
grading the land is laid in irreg-
ular instead of square or rectangular
checks, beginning at the lower side
of the tract. The banks of the intake
and waste water bitches from the
outer dikes of each check. The dikes
separating the checks are built on
contour lines, each being at the same
level through it's entire length. In
building the dikes four burrows at
least inches deep are thrown to-
gether as back furrow with 16
inch pillow. The burrows are then
ridged up with an "A''or "V" scraper
or ditch cleaner. (For an illustration
and description of this scraper see
