ALKALI SOILS CAN
GROW GOOD, CROPS
Clinton Trow Demonstrates What
Can Bc Done By Proper Methods
Results Of Great Value.

Several crop trials are being mad,
this year to de determine the bes
crops To grow upon the alkali soili
near Ontario. The results have
been better than was anticipated, fol
II has been the general belief, back
ed by a few failures to grow crops
upon this type of soil. that the land
was greasewood soil in the MalheuI
valley.
Clinton Trow, working on one OF
the Oregon Western Colonization
tracts. has been trying white sweet
clover, and alfalfa upon some OF the
greasewood soil. and by using differ.
ent oultiyal methods has learned
some interesting facts. He was told
by many. who thought they knew
that he should use the flood system
on this soil. MIR. Trow made up his
mind TO try deep and shallow irri-
cation also, and to tdst different
methods of applying the water, The
results were as follows:
The land that was flooded crusted
as soon as the water was taken off
with the results that the seedlings
were simply choked out. The alkali
also was carried to the surface by
the eyaporating water, and got in its
deadly work, This proved that the
flooding method was a failure on this
type of soil, The land is bare where
this method was used
lie also applied the water thru
the corrigations intermintently as is
the methods on other types OF soil,
the results were also poor by that
method, Under this system much
alkali was deposited in places and
crusting OF the soil also took place
to harmful extent.
His big success was made where
the deep corrigations were made
and, after seeding, the water kept
running in the corrigations steadily
for three weeks. A small stream
was used, just enough to keep the sur
face damp. This system worked
like charm, for Mr., Trow has al
ready cut good crop of hay from
this springs seeding, Two objects
were accomplished by this system
that made success possible. First
the water kept the soil damp until
the plants were large enough to
shade the ground, thus preventing
baking OF the soil. and the alkali
did not accumulate. at the surface
so as TO injure the plants. The
second object accomplished by the
deep corrigations was that the water
did not cover the ground, and so did
not drown any of the seedlings.
Sweet clover proved a better crop
than alfalfa, generally speaking, tho
alfalfa made a good stand in some
places.
The successful outcome of these |
experiments is of much value to the
country in general. This type Of
