Wild Licorice Weed.

A friend brought MS a specimen OF
weed the other day which was a
total stranger to us. The stalk was
about eighteen inches high, the leaves
were compound and somewhat more
finely divided than the common wild
vctch, and the fruit il bore was a small
light brown bur, having solid core
about the size and shape of bean.
The botanist at the State experiment

weed was sent, states that II is the

weed is a troublesome one in the Utah

OXYGEN NEEDED IN SOIL.
Irrigation Farmers Warned of Ne
glect of Drainage.

The germs in the soil which develop
a nitric acid in the soil find oxygen
indispensable to their life, and it IS
important that a large supply OF 1t
penetrate the soil. Oxygen is also
needed TO prevent the destruction OF
the nitrates after they are once form
ed, and with these facts staring us
in the face, it is plain that we are in
danger of having the soil depleted OF
its needful nitrates through the de
struction of the organic matter, II the
with insufficient ventilation, as a re-
suit of poor drainage. The fact is en-
phasized in the works OF all our soil
experts. Prof. Golf, in his book, The
Principles OF Plant Culture" sums the
whole matter up in this terse state
ment.
Drainage promotes soil aeration
by forming an outlet for the surplus
water that would otherwise fill the
cavities. Although moisture is essen
tial to root growth, land plants do not
prosper with thteir roots immersed in
water True, most plants may be
grown in water culture i. e. with
their roots from termination grown
II water that is freely exposed to the
lir; but the roots OF land plants soon
smother for want of free oxygen
when the soil cavities are filled with
water. because the soil tends to pre-
vent the water within its cavities
from absorbing air"
The farmers on irrigation land are
especially warned against further
neglect of drainage. Delay is suicidal.
Procrastination is not only the thief
If time, but a robber filching the pos
,ibilities of success from the farmer
whose hands are saturated with alkali
water.
