sentative Of the U. S. d. A. division of
agricultural engineering. The Uni

1t has been found through investi-
cation that certain types of soils i'm
pregnated with black alkali are very
diicult to bring back into probable
production after drainage. There is
not much of this soil in Idaho but
quantities are found in the Payette
and Boise valleys and in the Gem ir-
