is a stong tendency for the yield to

The rate of increase, however, grew
smaller as the quantity of water was
ind eased, and on clay loam soils it
probably will not be advisable to apply
more than 2 or 2 1-2 feet per acre to
the crop. ......
The report also deals with the ques
tion of the proper quantity of water
to supply nt eac'h irrigation. An unavoidable-loss
tiom evaporation in
variably occurs during and immed
iately after irrigation and it is, there
fore, desirable to have no more ap
plications during the season than ans
required to maintain the needed moist
ure content in the soil. Investigators
found that from 3 to 6 acre-inches at
one application is the correct quan
tity. (Impervious soils should 'be so
manipulated that they will absorb the
smaller amount at lease, -wniie on tne
porous soils large irrigation heads
should be used. On these porous soils
very little can be accomplished with
small heads of water because the wa
ter is 'absorbed so rapidly that is can
not be forced over the field. The av
erage size of the irrigation head over
the greater part of Idalhb seldom ex
cseds 1 to 2 second-feet. On the por
ous soils, the use of heads three or
four times this size, it is said, will
give a much hitrher efficiency.
In conclusion, the report points out
that the determination of the proper
huiidIv of water for an irrigation pro-
iect is a verv serious problem. If too

waves witiiiout effort on your part.
W'hile visiting m Salt . Uike City
e:rly this month I took a trip to the
Lake, a'liout 18 miles west or tne "Jity,
It being too early in t!.le season for
bathing I decided to visit thn. Salt
refinery (Inland Crystal Salt Com
pany) located on the shores of the
Like and learn more about tho pro
cess whereby the waterof tir.e Lake
is made to contribute to Che salt Bup
ply of the W'Bst.
While the factory or refinery is
located comparatively close to the
lake shore the salt ponds are two and
a half miles inland. A flume about
15 feet above the water extends out
into the lake, several hundred yards.
Water from the lake is raised to this
flume bv an ele.-tric pump and from
there it runs by gravity inland to the
shnllnw salt Donds. Thn reason tor
having the ponds so far inland is to
overcome the loss by seepage that was
met with when the doiuIs were on
ginally near the water. There ara
seven hundred acres of ponds here.
The water from t.-s lake first enters
the "settles pond" where any small
particles of dirt or vegetable matter
"settles," then it enteres ' the 300
ac:e "stock pond' where it is allowed
to stay until the sun's rays have eva
porated off the water until it will
just move, when it is directed through
"laterals" into the "gardens". When
the water Teaches a density of 20 per
cent it begins to deposit salt which
forms a hard bottom in the pond, when
another filling is run "in and this is
continued throughout the Summer
season until the sun's 'rays cease to
assist the work of evaporation. In
u good season from 2 1-2 to 3 inches of
salt will ibe deposited in this manner.
During the winter months the salt is
hnwested and Dut into uniform piles
I ready for transportation to ths refin
ery by rail, sixty two tsnousana tons
were harvested in this manner last
year. IWhon the suit reaches the re
finery being damp and wet it is con
veyed by elevator to the top of the
mill by gravity and allowed to enter
the drying cylinders to remove the
moisture. Thesa cylinders are 10 ft.
in diameter by thirty feet long. By
the use of hot nir and fans the suit
continually being lifted and dropped
the moisture is quickly extracted,
when the further process followed is
very similar to that of a flour mill.
As ths salt passing through vhe dif
ferent rolls, reaches the desired fine
ness it is carried by conveyor to bins
ready for sacking. WhiV the mill

different grades, the mining (for
smelter use in fluxing) and stock
salt is not refined hut shipped as it
comes from the pond. About 20 thou
sand tons of tb?sc grades were ship
ped last year. There is very fine salt
secured in milling that resemibles flour
in its fineness that some years ago
was considered as useless but now by
the addition of form 1 1-2 to 2 per
csn-t of sulphur this fine salt is placed
in a hydraulic press end under pres
made into laTire Bauare cakes
used by ranchers and cattlemen for
"salt-licks" for their cattle. Fifteen
thousand of these brick - were made
last year weighing 50 pounds each.
Adjacent to the salt ponds a new
industrty was started last September
by the Southern Cotton Seed Oil com
pany that bids fair to become a big
industry. On account of the shortage
of potash caused Jy the unpleasant
ness abroad the above company de
cided to experiment with the waters
of tho Great Salt Lake as a source for
potash, they began iwith the "mother"

On the other hand, if too much is al

may deteriorate irapidly through water
