ALKALI SOILS.

In many OF the irrigated dist
riots of Nevada, large areas of
land are impregnated with injur-
ious quantities of alkali salts.
The harmful effect of alkali in
the production of wheat will de-
pend upon the kind of alkali,
whether black or white; the a
mount and distribution of alkali
in the soil; and the syste moi
drainage
Kinds of Alkali.
Black alkali is a strong corros-
i've which destroys plant tissue
and affects the texture of heavy
soils, making them more compact
and in some cases impervious to
water. This salt is composed
chiefly OF carbonate of soda, one
twentieth OF one per cent OF which
will affect the growth of most
crops. BY continuous application
Of gypsum to the soil, the black
alkali may be converted into
less injurious salt which causes
the soil to be less compact, thus
permitting better drainage. This
is practicable only where land is
sufficiently valuable and gypsum
is Inexpensive.
White alkali is more abundant
in most localities than the black
alkali and is less injurious. The
white alkali salts are not corros-
i've, but when fully taken up by
the plant they seriously affect its
nutrition.
How Alkali Affects the Wheat.
An accumulation of salts at the
surface during the period OF seed
termination, which might serious
ly injure the stand OF many crops,
may not prove injurious to those
same crops after their plant roots
have attained considerable size
and have become we'll established
in the soil below the concentrated
solution OF salts. For this reason
seed should be planted SO that the
termination may occur immediate
" after an irrigation or a heavy
rainfall, which will dilute the soil
solution near the surface and al
low the roots to go down into the
soil before this solution becomes
concentrated by evaporation.
Reclaiming Alkali Land.
Drainage is one OF the most I'M
portant factors to be considered |
in the reclamation of alkali land. |
The most practical method OF re-
moving the alkali salts from the
and is by continuous flooding and
lrainage This is often impossi- |

LANCER OF impairing the texture

likely to cause the soil to puddle. !
The growth of certain crops dur
ing this process may prevent to
a large extent this pudding, pro-
yided the land is favored with a
good drainage system or immed-
ate outlet for this excess of water,
II proper drainage is not present,
this condition is usually associat-
ed with high water table, which
is especially unfavorable to deep |
rooted crops like alfalfa and sugar
heets. and by continuous irriga-
ton the accumulation OF alkali
salts at the surface prevents the
growth of shallow rooted crops
like wheat and the grasses.

DESCRIBES AIR RAID.

came from the northeast. a series of

firing died down and started again
from the north in the same gentle
way. Then 1t became quicker, and
then died away in soft fiannelly
noises.
Suddenly the firing burst again to
the northwest and also to the south
and some nearer guns began to bay.
Then there was activity in the west,
and we heard four or five harsh
noises that we took TO be bombs. ac-
companied, by faster firing. The last
movement was to the south and
southeast, and the noise of the guns
was near and loud. till the whole
earth seemed full Of barking and the
skies OF explosions. ,c.,t
