In drawing conclusions from
analyses, Mr.. Vandecaveye says:

In drawing conclusions from the
analyses, Mr.. Vandecaveye says:
"It seems to me that too much wa
ter is being used for irrigation. 1t may
be considered that alfalfa under arid
conditions requires approximately 75O
pounds of water to produce one pound
of alfalfa in the hay form. Assuming
that the maximum yield that you are
likely to obtain is IN tons of alfalfa
per acre in three cuttings, this would
require approximately SO acre inches
of water.
eff 10 acre feet of water are added,
the amount is about twice as much
as is necessary. OF course, 1t is as
sumed that there Is a considerable loss
of irrigation water in this gravelly
soil. This means that the method OF
applying the water must be carefully
selected to eliminate loss as much as
possible. It is not Likely that the addi-
ton of these rather large quantities
of water will seriously leach the phos-
phorus content Of the soil, but 1t will
take away the nitrate nitrogen that
happens to be in the soil, and 1T may
also remove some of the soluble po-
tassium if considerable amount OF
it happened to be present at the time
the irrigation water is applied.
No Danger of Alkali
"The presence of chloride, sulfate
and carbonate salts indicates the pres
ence of alkali salts. Inasmuch as the
results of our analyses show an alb
sence of these salts there Is no danger
of the accumulation Of alkali salts In
these soils.
"The reaction of the soil is either
neutral or slightly alkaline. They are
indicated by the PHI values, value
of 7 meaning that the reaction is neu-
trail Anything over means alkalinity
which becomes stronger In proportion
as the figure increases, and anything
below is acid the acidity increasing
in proportion to the decrease in mum
Der below T."
An analysis Of the irrigation waite

centration of 618 parts per million
which is higher than that of averag
irrigation water. However, says MI
Vandecaveye, 1t Is not likely that thl
concentration would be harmful t.
plants unless there happens to be som
toxic substances present, which lnso
far as is known, do not generally oc
cur in irrigation water in this state.
In later communication, concern
, ing his recommendation of the use O
, phosphate fertilizer, Mr.. Vandecavey
says:
"The phosphate fertilizer does nc
carry any potassium, but the reaso
we suggested the use OF phosphate FER
tilizer alone Is that our experiments
results with potash fertilizer have nc
] been nearly as uniform as those Wit
phosphate fertilizer.

like to use some Of 1t in connectio
with phosphate fertilizer, the be-
place to try 1t would be on the f1el

HOBBY? MY FAMILY"
 SAYS GREAT TENOR

Operatic fame and family life are usually in conflict. but not so the case of Richard Crooks. The noted singers delight is his home. For ever since he was a 5-year- old towhead and she was a neigh bor tot of three. in Trenton, N. J, Mir. and Mrs. Crooks have known no other sweethearts. She often accompanies him on concert tours. With their children, Patsy and Dicky. they live in the small sea- shore town of Sea Girt. tucked away on the Jersey coast. They en- joy all outdoor sports together. Each summer they go to their camp in the Canadian woods. The slx-foot-two Crooks is an excellent aviator, horseman. golfer. woods man, skier and fisherman. He is also 6 good shot but tho enly birds he shoots are clay ones, for he doesn't iike to take fife--and his love of life gives luster to his sing. ing.
