Sour Soil And Alkali
Enemies of Alfalfa

Alfalfa will not grow where the
soil Is sour" says j. G.. Hutton,
associate aeronomist of the South
Dakota experiment station. he
reports that the agronomy depart
ment has examined Il large number
of soils from various parts ofSonth
Dakota and has found a few which
are sour. The sour soils have
been sandy soils in most instances.
This is due to the fact that the
water easily teaches through the
sandy soils and dissolves the lime
stone which it carries away vDs
underground drainage. The water
from the shallow wells of Soath
Dakota contain much lime which
has been dissolved out of the soil
as the water soaks down through
it. 1T is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour soil.
Alfalfa will not grow where
there is too much alkali in the
soil. Alkali consists of various
kinds Of salts which are by-prod
ucts in the weathering of soil from
rocks. Where the soil is we'll
drained, either naturally or artifi-
cally, these salts have been carried
away. In dry regions or where
the soil is properly drained and
water stands in ponds, sloughs or
lakes, the salts accumulate and as
the water evaporates they appear
on the surface as white crust.
When there are enough OF these
salts present they poison the alfalfa
plants. If crust of this kind
forms on the soil or If the clods
turn white when they get dry there
is alkali in it.
IF you suspect that your soil is
sour or infected with alkali, send
a cigar box full by parcel post to
the Agronomy Department, South
Dakota Experiment Station,
Brookings, S. D. The soil will be
examined and report mailed to
you free of charge. Soils should
reach the Soils Laboratory before
May 20. Do it now"

Four Questions For
The Voters to Decide

Pierre, S. D.,-rne constitution
of the state of South Dakota con-
tains this clause: Nor shall the
state engage in any work of in
ternal Improvement" Several
years ago when it was desired to
organize drainage districts IN the
southeastern portion of the state,
the people ran bump into this pro-
vision and had to stop until a
special amendment was submitted
and approved. Later, the irriga-
tionists met the same obstacle and
attempted to amend but failed in
the election of 1914.
At the coming election four sep
arate amendments are to be voted
upon seeking to escape the inhibi-
ton quoted. These relate to irli-
CATION districts, rural credits, state
highways and the mining and sale
of coal upon state lands. There is
reason to expect that all of these
will prevail this year.
The irrigation amendment is
Identical with the one defeated at
the last election. 1t permits the
formation of irrigation district
and the bonding of such districts
for the irrigation of the lands
affected. Only the lands to be
benefited can be charged with the
Newell reclamation news. [volume] (Newell, Butte County, S.D.) 1910-19??, 1916-04-27
South Dakota Thursday April II, 1916

costs. This amendment is of vita
importance to large sections in the
western part of the state.
The rural credits amendment
permits the state, any county, or
several counties comparatively to
engage in making long time farm
loans. The agricultural people of
the state are tremendously inter-
ested in this provision. 1t is
expected that under its operation
abundant means can be supplied to
farmers ut very low rate to be
repaid in small annual payments.
The state highway amendment
is intended to permit the state to
take advantage of the provisions
OF any bill which congress may
pass for national aid to highways.
The coal amendment is intended
TO permit the state to supply the
people of the state from the lands
belonging to the state.'' South
Dakota owns vast quantities o.!
land in the northwestern counties,
much Of which is underlaid with
veins of good Ignite.

BOber-StOlar.

Cards have been received in town
announcing the marriage Of Miss
Rose Stolar to Mr.. Sam H. Bober
at the home of her parents in
Saint Louis, Missouri. This comes
as somewhat of a surprise to the
many friends of Mr.. Bober here,
but nevertheless the newlyweds
have the best wishes of large
circle of friends who join in wish
ing them all the joys of life. Mr..
Bober has fine farm here and a
position on the Experimental farm
and when they return we trust it
will be an event that even the small.
boys will not forget.

BUILDING ROCK ROAD
Preliminary Work in Rocking
East Road Begun Tuesday.

A big step in the move to rock
the east Butler and Rich Hill road
was taken Tuesday by the people
living and owning property Oh
the road when over three hundred
wagon loads of limestone rock
were put on the Marias des
Cygncs bottom. The rock was
placed alongside the grade from
the bridge, north and as soon as
stone in sufficient quantity to
surface the road is placed rock
crushcr will be put to work and
the crushed stone distributed
along The road.
In accordance with plans pre-
viously formulated, tue workers
assembled at the Ira Hart place
early Tuesday morning Is, men
and 30 teams reporting for duty.
Promptly at seven o'clock the
work of loading the wagons be-
gan. and the stone was hauled on
to the bottom road where it was
placed alongside the grade.
The rock was obtained at the
crest of the Ira Hart hill where
there is an immense amount OF
limestone. The work was thor
oughly Systcmatizcd and in spite
Of the rapidity of it's progress
there was no confusion at any
time. Squads of men were de-
tailed with picks and rrowbars to
diSlodgr the limestone from the
Hill sides and other squads fol-
lowed loading the wagons. From
six to seven loads were hauled
during the day by each of the
fifty wagons making between
three hundred and three hundred
and fifty loads placed on the
grade
At the noon hour, about fifty of
the ladies Of the ncighborhood,
who had gathered in prepared
and served IL dinner fit for Il
king to the hungry road blildcr>.~
1t is planned to put III one day
each week in hauling rock until
sufficient material is ON the grade
to complete n rock road across the
bottoms from the river north and
il is est inatrd that at the rate OF
progress made Tuesday, only five
working days will be necessary to
complete the job. Tuesday of
each week has been set as the
day ON which the work will be
done, the next meeting to be on
Tuesday. November 2Sth.
Enthusiasm is high along the
road and the boys are going
against the collar with the deter
mination to build II permanent
road and the boosters along the
road say they intend rocking the
entire road from Butler to Rich
Hill, and. after seeing the results
ct the first days work. one must
conclude. that such ultimate re-
suit is not only possible, but
highly probable.
