which are soluble in water. They also carry
sodium which has been tied up chemically.
Water won't dissolve that sodium; instead,
the two combine slowly as the soil is
leached. Swelling and tightening of the clay
particles follows, making conditions ideal
for that tell-tale alkai to appear on the sur
face-besides making it harder and harder
for water to percolate through the soil.
According to estimates, as much as to
. acre-feet OF water may evaporate from
flooded meadow in summer. Here, too, is
posed problem in teaching and loss of soil
fertility. When meadow is flooded during
most of the growing season, the excess wa
ter teaches out much of the natural soluble
plant food. Analysis Of the waste water in
dicates that nitrogen and organic matter,
rather than phosphorus and potassium, are
the chief losses through teaching.
Experiment Station Study
In 1941 the University of Wyoming ex-
pertinent station undertook a thorough
study of the problem. On the Ethete farm
in the Shoshone Indian reservation lying
along the Little Wind river in central Wy
oning-where land had been irrigated since
1900 3-acre area was selected for a leach
ing experiment.
Six plots, each 100 by 300 feet, were
staked out under Professor Dunnewald's di-
rection and each plot was surrounded with
a ridge of soil IS inches high A water
supply ditch and box weir for measuring
the water were installed. A 2-inch pipe was
driven 6 feet deep into the center of each
plot for taking samples of water and for
measuring the movement of water under
ground Four of the plots received chem
ical treatments.
The aim was threefold:
1. Determine how much water would be
necessary to reduce the salt content to the
point where useful plants could again be
grown
2. See if the soil tends to seal up when its
salts are removed with pure water.

Reclaim Salty Soils
By Teaching, Acidifying, Fertilising
By GERALD JENNY, Editor
Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station

YES, DRAINAGE and salt are twin prob
lens, and in spite of continued improve
ment of wet lands, more acres need rec
1amation each year. Wyoming had spent
to 6 million dollars for drains, yet by 1910,
$4,000 acres of irrigated land still needed
improvement by drainage.
The problem is never completely solved.
New acreage goes into alkali condition
about as fast as old irrigated land is re-
covered. Soilsmen estimate that in state
like Wyoming, Is to 20 percent of irrigated
land suffers from salt and poor drainage all
the time.
Data assembled by T. J. Dunnewald, as
sociate professor of soils at the University
of Wyoming show that in the census year
1910, the state had little over one million
acres under irrigation, and yielding crops.
Some $4,000 of these acres were in drain
age projects. Of this number, 1924 acres
were too wet for crop production. Another
SIS, 629 acres had gone idle-alkah had
choked off the normal cover
Drainage Needs Up
BY 1910, SAB open drains had been COM
pleted and 262 miles of tile had been laid in
an attempt to restore the productive power
of the land. Average cost of this drainage
was $21-$22 per acre. Comparison of census
figures for 1880 and 1910 indicates that,
while the acreage of drained land has been
increasing, the acreage of land needing
drainage has also gone up.
Just what happens to the soil to bring
about the allxali is no great mystery to soils
men. Sodium is really the troublemaker
Irrigation waters tend to dissolve soluble
matter when they pass through salty rocks
or soils. When a flooded meadow evaporates
this water leaves its dissolved salts behinC
and it seems to favor the higher spots
Two things now take place: C) Those salts
hinder the growth of good grass, and q
they prevent termination of seed. Before
long, only plants that tolerate poor soil car
grow.
