The Fuchs brothers took their

SOIL MANAGEMENT
LECTURE COURSE
is SUCCESSFUL

Valley ranchers have been highly
enthusiastic over the two days soil
management school which has been
held in the Brawley Legion hall and
which ended yesterday afternoon.
Speakers included two members
of the local agricultural extension
service. two extension specialists
from the college OF agriculture OF
the University of California and a
research worker from the u. s. de-
partment of agriculture. The school
itself was under the auspices OF the
extension service.
Possibly one of the most inter-
esting talks was that by c. S. Scho-
field Of the U. S. department OF ag-
riculture who spoke on the salt sit
uation in Imperial Valley. He
pointed out that at certain times
during the year irrigation water
contains one ton of salt per acre
foot. some OF which is carried of
in drainage water. while certain
constituents are left as residue.
Schofield pointed out the prob
lens that exist and recommended
more and better drainage. favoring
a complete survey TO determine
which systems Of drainage were
most effective and why. He gave
various practical suggestions for the
improvement of alkali lands
The talks on soil and fertilization
stressed the need for organic fer
tilizers in local soils, while those on
irrigation had as their central theme
the necessity of studying soil mois-
ture condition as guide to the
amount and kind OF irrigation.
