Tlioro wore twoiity-ulno per sons tu tho liunch, most of whom woro fnrmors from various section of tlio county who woro particularly interested because of contemplated drulnago construction affecting their proporty. having Vnlo nl cloven o'clock, tho innchlnoi wero driven to tho ton-ucro oxporiuiontnl tract on tho aionn Ilurrello ranch whoro tho first drulnago canal to ho construct ed by sluicing was examined. Mr Johnston who hail had mipcrvlslon over tho work tliero for tho Oregon Experiment Station, totd nhout how tho ronnl cama to hn constructed, tho various mothods tried out dur ing Its construction, and tho cost of it. Tho cost on thin first pleco of work was only 22 cents por llnonl foot of canal, whlla It was estimated that this could havo boon cut In hnlf hud tho builders known how to go about It In tho beginning its woll ns at tho finish. Following oxnmlnntlon of tho con nl, tho experimental plats woro given attention. Tho ton ncro tract Is subdivided Into a largo number of plats, each of which Is diked to hold wntor and arranged so that tho water can ba measured Into tho pint and uono allowed to oscapo except throiiRli tho soil. Tho plats are hnudlcd dlffurontly, except tho Irri gation Is all alike. Home of thorn hnvo been treated with manure, othors with Rypsum, and still othors with tho various chemical com pounds and combinations, all with thn Idea of trying to find something that will olther hasten tho removal of tho alkali or change Its composi tion In a wny to muko It loss de structive to crop growth. Somo of tho plats nro not given any treat ment oxcept the regular Irrigation In explaining tho objects nnd re sults of tho experimental work, Mr. JoluiHton made uso of somo chem ical analysis which had been secur ed In ndvanro of tho regular anal ysis which will bo made of every plat In tho field from time to tlnio to keep account of tho chnnge In composition of tho plato under their vnr)lng treatments. Thoso prollm Inary tests, whllo not taken as fin al In any sense, showed that tho virgin soil contained 78,800 pounds of alknll per aero In tho surfaco threo foot; that after having been drained, cultivated nnd given bov enteen Irrigations totaling nbqut four aero feet, 14,000 pounds or this nlknll rcmnlned. Ovor 80 of tho alkali, If thoso figures nro later substantiated by tho moro extensive nnalysls, hns therefore been remov ed nnd tho soil hns been brought about to tho point whoro crop growth mny bo oxpectod. To begin with, no crop out of a largo number tried out, grew Very fow seeds sprouted on tho land, although all conditions woro quite .fnvornblo ox- copt tho alkalinity of tho soil. Tho tract has now boon scoded to ryo nnd swoot clover with tho object in vlow of getting humus Into tho soil to Jmprovo tho physlcnlstructuro. Tho next step was on tho Percy Purvlus farm whoro lunch was tak en. Tho party thon proceeded In Inspoct tho drainage construction work which Mr. Purvlus Is doing by moans of tho sluicing motbnd. Tho first object of Intorcst was ft sort of drag, cylindrical In shnpo and fitted with teeth, which Purvlus has Invented for loosoulng tho soil In thn bottom of tho canal so tho water may carry It nwny. Aftor explain ing tho construction of this drag, Purvlus placed It In tho canal and started tho team, giving tho visi tors n demonstration In Its opera tion. Tho Imploment proved ontlro- ly equal to the occasion, loosening lareo nuantltlcs of tho soil which turned tho water Into a stream of mud moving townrd the river. The men then proceeded to mnkc themselves comfortnblo In tho shado of n largo popular treo and n short program of speaking was pulled bff. Dlroctor Jardlno of tho Oregon Ex periment Station explained how al kali salts accumulate In tho Roll, how they concentrate In tho sur face when tho water tahlo Is allow ed to rnlso to far and about, tho methods of reclaiming alkollod lands and tho principles Involved. Ho stressed tho need for action whllo tho good lands nro still pro ducing, rather than to allow them to dccllno for two or three years until thoy nro totnlly unproductive and thon bo forced to spend money nnd wait several years heforo they can bo brought back to tholr ori ginal productivity. Ho pointed out that tho delay Is far moro ex ponslvo In crop losses than thejm provement nnd that tho Improve ment can bo paid for "best whon tho lands nro producing n rovenue. Mr. Ilnllard of tho Oregon Extonnlon Service spoko briefly of tho pro gress being mado by county ngonts nnd othors of thnt sorvlco In bring ing tho agricultural knowledge worked out by experiment station men, prnctlcal formers and others whorovor now things nro doveloped, rapidly to the attention of tho farm ers all ovor the state Mr. Purvlus then announced that ho had thought somo of having his devlcn pntonted, but had Inter de cided not to do so but to mnko It public property. Ho thcroforo de sired and did mnko tho public stain ment before thoso In attendance, that his dovlso and tho Ideas con nected with It, nro public property for tho uso of nny who may wish to mnko uso of It contrary to ally oiio who might seek to obtain n pntont. Aftor a roundtoblo discus sion and furlhor questioning Mr. Johnston about dralnoRO and alkali romovnlmntters, tho mooting nil Jourod with ovorybody voting tho day woll worth whllo.

II TO 8EIT. 10 ONTAIRO'S GREATEST NEED TODAY IS SIDEWALKS The appearance of Ontario as a city is injured by the lack of sidewalks, good durable Concrete sidewalks. The value of many good pieces of property is lessened because there are no walks in front of thein. Is This Not Truo? The only manner in which this condition can bo remedied is to have the needed walks built. There is no need for delay on account of high prices. Concrete walks last for many, many years, they havo not increased m cost as havo other materials. They last longer and are cheaper and better than hoard walks. . , WE CAN BUILD YOUES NOW If you want a walk, if you need a walk, if you would havo Ontario a better looking homelike city, let us FURNISH YOU AN ESTIMATE ON A CONCRETE WALK BLASER CONCRETE CO.
