BeyschIag Points to
Theory Deficiency

Adding organic matter or other
fertilizers to the soil will not
greatly increase teir ability to store
water, according to information re-
cieved Saturday by Frank Beysch-
lag. farm advisor.
Organic matter. due 10 Its great
capacity to hold water. is generally
assumed to increase the storage
ability of soils with which it is
mixed. However, that theory has
heen exploded, Beyschlag said.
The farm advisor explained that
the addition of organic material
ised the storage capacity of soils
slightly but at the same time raised
tie permanent whiting percentage.
The effect of the organic matter

Landerman Declares Drain Of Phosphate
From Valley Soil Offers One Of
Most Serious Problems

The future OF Imperial Valley as
an agricultural center is a bright
one, Lee Landerman assistant
county agent declared Saturday, II
valley farmers will recognize GER
tain problems and act to over
come those problems.
There's the drainage problem,
the alkali problem and host OF
others, Landerman said, but one
problem which is generally over
locked is that of phosphorus de-
pletion in valley soils.
Grain crops, livestock farming
and even alfalfa crops drain a great
amount of phosphate from the SOIL
Landerman said, and as a result a
good portion of valley land Is al
ready beginning to show signs OF
phosphate deletion.
Phosphates, which can be re-
placed in the valley soil by gener-
Gus applications of fertilizers con-
tanning that element. stimulate
growth of the root system OF plants,
Landerman explained.
Farm experts in other sections
of the United States have long OBJ
served that the problem OF conser-
yation of phosphates in the soil IS
the most crucial, most far reach
i'm ,,,itb rafereoce tn the future OF
the nation of any problem of con-
servation.
An explanation of this statement
lies in the fact that Cd phosphorus

Imperial Valley increased its ship

Valley shipments tots led 3577 tons

Apparently California hay sup
plies for the l939-40 crop year will
be around 100000 tons under a

ally heavy but slightly more than

600 tons and a volunteer hay out
turn of $4,000 tons which together
with the carry-over OF old crop

tai stocks of 4,679,00O tons. This
compared with 1892 900 tons last
wear when the carry-over of old hay
at the beginning of the season
was placed at 387 900 tons and the
tame hay crop estimated at 4,352'Ooo
tons and the volunteer hay crop 243,-
600 tons. During the previous 10
wears California hay supplies aver
