Potato Growing Improves SOIL.

American potato growers Will be
interested in the fact that German
farmers nave found that many indi-
rect benefits result from potato cult
ure, through modern methods OF crop
rotation, green manuring, aud fertil-
iZing. In recently issued bulletin,
entitled lessons for American PU-
tato Growers from German Expert
ences,r the departments specialist
describes, among 9th things, how
eastern Germany benefits from the
cultivation OF the potato.
The potato has play d the great
est role in the agricultural develop
ent of light and fertile soils Of this
region, as the sugar be tx have done
in heavier soil. Acc riding to Ger
man specials s, these lloed root crops
are be eficial to any soil through
the deep and thorough culture that
is given them, with It's resultant i'm
provement In the physical condition
and aera ion.
the liberal use Of commercial fertiliz-
ers, from which there ate important
residual effects on other crops in the
rotation. The clean culture practic-
ed also brings all weeds into thor
ough subsection. The yields per acre
of all farm crops have been greatly
increased since the extension OF po-
tato growing.
Potato tops are now dried and used
for stock food on many estates. The
by-product, mash resulting from the
distillation of potatoes iuto alcohol is
also an important economical factor
While we have, in fact, better soils
than Europe ia almost unlimited
area adapted for potatoes, our hol
summers injure the potato plant
where they aid in the development o.
our great grain crop, corn. In thu
corn uelt there can never be profit II

needed locally for table use. Corr

the elevated western districts wher
corn cannot BE- raised, potato grow
ing has a greater future.
However, vast deposits OF petro'
leum will also offer competition In
directly to the potato, as at presen
there is not the need in this countr.

DRAINAGE RECLAMATION.

One Cf the problems which sooner
or later confront the people OF irri-
gated lands is the one OF reclaiming
land which has becomO useless frou
too much water, or seepage land. In
the Grand valley In Colorado there is
quite a good deal of this kind or
land, which for years has been i'm
possible to grow anything upon. The
government has taken an interest in
the work OF reclaiming this land aud
mas employed experts To conduct the
experiments.
The tract Of land described in the
following clipping taken from the
Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, was,
when the writer lived there eight
years ago, similar to the lands ad-
jacent to Salmon, which have been
o rganizsd into drainage district for
the purpose of being drained for use.
A large tract of land lying along the
banks OF tue Grand river, which has
received the waste water of the ranch
es above for years, is worthless. 1t
is this land which is being expert
mented with to try and free 1t from
alkah. We give the results OF the
work CT the expert with the hope
that 1t will prove of interest to Lem
hi people. The clipping follows
Over one thousand tons OF alkali
have been removed from the ten-acrt
tract belonging to John G. Mckinney
a quarter OF mile south OF the ln-
dian school buildings and the land
has been transformed from a useles:
