EXPERT TELLS ABOUT
LYNDEN SOIL PROBLEM
Prof. +. j. Sievers Describes Condi-
tions Here; Discusses Methods of
Raising Bigger Crops

Information regarding Lynden
in a bulletin issued by Prof. F. j.
Sievers. of the soils department of
the Washington State College.
Says Professor Sievers:
The extreme diversity or soil con-
ditions in Western Washington makes
it necessary to give specific fertilizer
treatments to many of these soil types
before satisfactory crops can be pro-
udced. For instance. in Whatcom
county, near Lynden. the "lowlands"
soils are well supplied with organic
one would Judge these soils in their
virgin state to be very productive. AS
matter of fact, experimentation
proves these soils to be so deficient
in potash that they cannot grow any
of the common crops we'll. unless
supplied by this element Of plant
food.
Potash fertilizers are now recon-
mended for the lowland Lynden soils.
as the result of Investigations by the
State College Experiment Station.
Three hundred per cent increases In
clover production have thus been Sc
cured. In fact. some of the lOwland
soil which wouldn't produce clover at
all, when given the potash fertilizer,
yielded three tons per acre.
In Thurston county we have found
upland soils so deficient in phosphor-
US that clover will not grow there at
all, and other crops do poorly. These
upland soils need to be cropped to a
legume in order to be put in good
fertility. By the proper application
of acid phosphate Ca phosphorous
fertilizer) they have been able to
produce more than two tons of clover
per acre. The clover not only was
in itself a profitable crop, but is a
legume, such as the upland Thurston
soils need. and paves the way to sue
cessful crops of other kinds.
In other words, PHOSPHORUS was
here proved to be the keynote to per-
manent farming on soil which i'll
| is virgin condition showed slight pos
sibilities.
On Quilliute prairie in Clallam
county, we have found soils that are
acid and also deficient in phOsphor-
Gus. We find that after these soils
are properly fertilized they produce
more than three tons of hay where
only a ton and a half grew before
fertilizer was applied. This differ
ence in crop yield not only aided crop
production, but is bringing about the
reclamation of lands heretofore part
ly abandoned.
Instances of this kind multiply as
study of Western Washington soils
proceeds. The soils in the western
half of the state are we'll adapted to
intensive agriculture. but before the
best of results can be obtained from
this kind of farming. we shall need
much detailed information on plant
food requirements of different types
of soil.

is the following: "If you need assist
ance go to a deputy collector or to
collectors office, but first read in
structions and fill out this sheet
(face and back) in pencil as we'll as
you can" Much time can be saved
both the government officers and the
taxpayers if. before seeking aid. the
taxpayer will follow this injunction.
For example, blank spaces are pro-
vided for answers to the following
questions. care you a citizen of the
United States?" "If not. are you a
resident of the United States?" Did
you file a return for 1912" eff so,
what address was given on that re-
turn?" "Were you married and liv-
ing with wife or husband on the last
day of your taxable period?" "How
many dependent persons under Is
Cor if over IS, incapable of self sup
port because mentally or physically
defective) were receiving their chief
support from you on the last day of
your taxable period?"
Qt6stions such as these should not
await inquiry from revenue officers
assisting in making out the forms.
Returns are required of every mar
ried couple whose net income and
that of dependent children for the
year was $4,000 or more and from
every single person, or married per-
son not living with wife OF husband,
whose net income was $1,000 or more,
The exemptions are $4,000 for
married persons and heads of fam
lilies and $1,000 for single persons,
or married persons not living with
wife or husband, and are determined
by the taxpayers status on the last
day of the taxable year, December
81, 1920. Husband and wife may
make a combined return of their
joint net income if less than $4,000.
If the income of either exceeded
$4,000, separate returns should be
filed for the purpose of computing
correctly the surtax which applies on
ly to income in excess of that amount.
The tax may be paid in full at the
time of filing the return, or in four
equal installments due on or before
March Is, June IS, September Is
and December Is. Taxpayers are
advised not to send cash through. the
mail. Checks and money orders
should be drawn to the order of Col
lector of Internal Revenue, Tacoma
