President FL Centre
Chamber Of Commerce

The chamber directorate compris-

are giving of their time and often
from their private purses for the
good of FL Centre and Imperial
Valley. They should be given every
encouragement
My own experiences with the
chamber have been somewhat
unique. have served three Imper-
ial Valley chambers as their preSi-
dent. Perhaps my past background
gives me exceptional opportunity
to realize and appreciate what the
directors and staff of the Chamber
are endeavoring to do.
Rated Big Business
The chamber of commerce in El
Centre is a big business. Yester-
day I dropped into the chamber.

ALFALFA AND CORN DIFFER In
EFFECTS ON SOIL

Corn and alfalfa are alike in their
capacity to produce high acre yields
of digestive nutrients, excelling all
other Ohio crops, but differ widely
III their effects on the soil, according
to r. M. Salter, agronomist of the
Ohio experimet station. Results OBJ
tanned in a 20 acre crop rotation
experiment at Wooster show marked
contrast between alfalfa and corn in
their effects on soil productivity
In five year rotation Of corn,
oats, alfalfa, alfalfa and alfalfa, the
average yield of corn during the last
five years of the 20 year period has
been 62 bushels per acre. On land
originally the same, the average
yield of the first corn crop in a corn,
corn, corn, wheat, and clover rota-
ton has been only AZ bushels for
the same five years In both rota-
tions the first crop has regularly re-
ceived 10 tons of manure, and to-
tai of 1000 pounds of superphos-
phate has been applied during the
rotation in both cases. The differ
ence of 15 bushels in the yields of
corn is believed to measure the diff
ference between the soil depicting
effects of a cropping system with
three-fifths of the land in corn and
one with three-ffths of the land in
alfalfa.
Another measure of this difference
is found in the chemical composition
of the soil itself. At the end of the
20 years, chemical analysis of the
soil growing the heavy corn rotation
showed the presence of $4,000
pounds of humus per acre in the
soil to plow depth, as compared with
$4,000 pounds found in the soil
growing the heavy alfalfa rotation.
In explaining the difference be-
tween these two crops, Mr.. Salter
points out that the tillage required
in corn production tends to hasten
the destruction of soil humus and
the loss of soil nitrogen. This eff
feet is absent in the case of alfalfa.
Moreover, corn contributes little in
the way of root and stubble resi-
dues; whereas alfalfa may leave as
much as one and half to two tons
of residues rich in nitrogen.

their subsequent floods, Ohio will

underground water table will be

by State Geologist WILDER Stout. AS
a direct result of new drainage sys-

changes in the soil and huge in
crease in the commercial consump-
tion of water, particularly for air
conditioning plants, the subterran-
can water table in most parts OF
Ohio has dropped alarmingly. The
normal water table ranged from a
few inches underground in swamp
areas to from twenty to thirty feet
in other places. But in recent years,
