Agricultural Club to
Discuss Alfalfa

Alfalfa week" for the schools
of the state has been arranged
for next week and in keeping
with this general program the
local agricultural club will have
an alfalfa program at its regular
meeting next Tuesday evening
in the public school assembly
room.
This farage plant is one. of the
most important crops Of this sec
ton and one that is engaging the
attention of the farmers through
out Eastern and Central Oregon.
The more it is discussed the
better understood it will be and
the better results will follow.
With the introduction of the
dairy herd and the greater num-
ber of hogs raised this crop
grows in Importance. The short
course instructors last week en-
phasized the great possibilities
of this forage in this county and
experiments have shown it can
be successfully grown on dry as
we'll as irrigated lands. The
greater returns per acre is
another important matter that
appeals to the farmer. The seed
crop is most profitable at present
and when that method Of grow
ing has reached a point where it
is no longer profitable it still is a
paying crop for forage. or the
land has been put in condition
for the raising of cereals with
certain profitable yields.
The meeting of the agricultural
club next Tuesday evening is the
last one of this school year we
understand and with other bust
ness the selection of officers will
be made. The program arranged
for that evening is:
Piano solo Bessie Smith.

The Origin of a
Bofax Mineral

IL IS generally recoRnlzeu ttal
boric acid in considerable quanti-
ties is an original constituent in
the waters and gases given of
with volcanic emanations. in
fact, the Tuscan fumaroles. in
Italy, have been an important
commercial source of boric acid
for long time. and in the past.
possibly even TO the present time.
almost all the boric acid brought
into the European market has
been derived from this source.
There is abundant evidence of
the presence Of boric acid in
volcanic emanations in many
parts of the world. On the other
hand, boron is 50 rare q constit-
uent of rock forming minerals
that it forms an almost inap-
preciable small percentage OF the
earth's rock mass as a whole.
A short study of the borate de-
posits in Ventura County, Cal,
supplemented by more cursory
examinations of similar deposits
in the vicinity of Death Valley,
has been made by Hoyt S. Gale,
Of the United States Geological
Survey. and a new theory of the
origin of the deposits Of cole
mantle. or borate of lime. In these
regions has been advanced by
Mr.. Gale in Professional Paper
85. Part A, recently published by
the Survey. While this theory
has not yet been entirely proved,
there is much in its favor and II
affords suggestions and a work.
ing basis for further observation.
Tho supposition Of a desiccated
saline lake to explain the origin
of the colemanite has little to
support it beyond rather general
assumptions. The character of
the deposits themselves indicates
rather a vein type of formation.
Other salines which would natur-
ally be expected in desiccation
deposits resulting from natural
saline solutions are not found in
association with the colemanjte.
Those who have supported the
desiccation theory have offered
no explanation of the cause which
might produce colemanite in such
massive deposits as a product OF
water evaporation. while. on the
contrary, its formation from lime
stone in veins by replacement of
carbonic reid with boric acid is a
natural hypothesis that deserves
further investigation. The re-
lations of the deposits to basalt
lava flows indicate the probable
origin of the boric acid at the
time of the extrusion of these |
lavas, although it may be assum-
ed that this acis continued to
find its way into solution of the
circulating ground waters long
after the period of the ex-
trnsions.
