THE TEST OF A SOIL
The test of a soil is in its produc
tion. But sometimes a soil is con
demned as unfertile without a fair
and reasonable teeL Under Ute ca
nals of the Grants Pass irrigation
project there is a proportion of soil
that classes as "granite," having
been formed through the decomposi
tion of a granite bed rock. With
out water the granite soil did not
give profitable returns when farmed,
and there were many ready to con-'
damn Some crops, even with irri
gation. gave a puny and unhealthy
growth, and then the pessimist sang
Mia “I told you eo” song and said
the district was headed for the dem-
nitlen bow wows. But tests are
proving how little these pessimists
knew about the subject.
There is a tract of the granite soil
lying just out of ths city on the Pa
cific highway that is typical. It was
as devoid at humus as the natural
granite could be, and a pear ago was
still in brush. Sunday afternoon the
state engineer and th« state super
intendent of banks in their official
capacity as the members of the Ore
gon irrigation securities commission,
stood upon this tract and each voiced
the statement that never bad he seen
a better stand of clover on any land
any where in the world. The clover
was waist high, Just coming into
bloom, and there was not room for
another stalk of the legume, And
this on granite soil less than a year
from the brush.
The only thing wrong with the
granite »oil seems to be the lack ot
humus. Clover will supply this
need, and once supplied, the granite
'becomes remarkably
productive
when irrigation is supplied. The pes
simist and the doubler should see
this clover crop now growing upon
the tract being developed by Messrs.
Walker and Proctor. The crop will.
be made into hay before the end ot
the present week, so go over and
take a look at it tomorrow. It will
give you a taste of what the Grants
Pass Irrigation district can look like
a few months hence if the people
make proper use of the water that
will be there for them.
Forest fires are becoming common.
Every fire means a loss to the people
at the United States.
If a person
knows of another leaving a fire or
in any way endangering the forests,
