HARDENING OF SOIL
MAY Be OVERCOME

An important result of the investi-
gational work in irrigation agricul-
ture CARED on by the United States
department of agriculture during tho
last year has been the discovery of
the cause of the hardening of irrigat-
ed lands. Satisfactory measures for
remedying this trouble have been
worked out In many sections of the
irrigated west, where the problem has
been serious.
This hardening of the soil Is pri-
marily due To the action of salts of
sodium carried in the irrigation wa
ter. The difficulties occur in eases
where the proportion of soda salts ia
the irrigation water is relatively high
a. compared with the salts of calci-
UNI. Corrective applications of salts
of calcium. iron and aluminus are
used. or these the best known and
most generally available Is calcium
sulphate. commonly known as gyp-
sum or land plaster. Where the diff
ficulties of hardening and impermea-
bility are not s%eriou. application OF
land plaster may prove decidedly ben
efCial. but where the land Is hard
and ~impenetrable 1t may be necessary
TO use aluminium snlphate. The eff
feet of land plaster is limited by the
low solubility. since il requires 600
parts of water to dissolve one part OF
land plaster.
Aluminium sulphate. on the other
hand, Is more soluble. requiring only
about three parts OF water TO one OF
aluminium s~ulphate. The beneficial
effect of the sulphates of calcium and
aluminium appears to be due to the
fact that the calcium and aluminium
unite With the dissolved s~ilicates In
the soil to form inert and insoluble
compounds. These s~ilieates when
united with the sodium have collodial
properties, which appear to be the
chief cause of the difficulty in hard
ening and impermeability.

New Method Of Ripening Grapefruit

New Method Of Ripening Grapefruit
The succulent grapefruit appearing
on the American breakfast table may
in the future be n coaxed to ripe
ness while reposing in a frigid tenn
perature of some refrigerating plant.
Department OF agriculture experts
have announced, after completion of
a series Of experiments begun In
1917. that, contrary to the prevalent
opinion, citrus fruit will ripen off the
tree and, like pears and apples, will
develop a superior eating quality aft
or a period of one to three months I'm
cold storage. The fruit, however,
must be suitably cured" before be-
ing placed in cold storage, IT was
determined. The curing process in
wolves keeping the fruit in a tenn
perature of about 20 degrees for a
period OF two to three weeks. 1t Is
then transferred to a temperature OF
32 degrees for a longer storage.
The government experts found, Il
was said, that, while the sugar con-
tent of the fruit remained about the
same, the acid content decreased mar
kedly during the storage, and appar-
emily the bitterness was broken down.
thus enhancing the palatableness of
the fruit. The process was also said
TO eliminate the tendency of the fruit
to pit or form the sunken spcts
which sometimes appear on the skin
and impair the fruits market value.
