Hut it is obiously clear thnt this advanced type of fanning mnv not much longer be deferred. The mnr kets are eager for our products. Far- sighted fanners believe they discern the approach of the day when we shall have iiupioved transportation facilities. And nil are nrccd that we must have the irrigation just as early as brains and brawn can get it to us. There need be no doubt about the money if tlio unit system shall be adopted. Cultivation of farms un der the Rogue River canal svsteni has decisively demonstrated the great value of irrigation in Hie matter of added yield and the rpinlily of the product, while siiecessjve drouths have forever settled the (inchtion as to the iiM'Icssness of cultivating the soil in this vallev without water from n modern system of irrigation. A Word About Kcillll7crs A prime requisite to success in di versified fanning, granting that we have irrigation ami trniisimrtntioii facilities, both for our raw and our nianiifaetured ni tieles, is a well-balanced content of plant food in the soil. In many places in this valley some attention will he required to the use of commercial fertilizers. Since an eminent American chemist has .said that "lime enrbountes may be said to be the basis of civilization, "let us see how lime may be used to maintain this reputation. The aliie of this material has been proved by thousands of years of use. in our eivili.ntion. Soil fer tility iii Kiirbjia nnd 'Qhliu?"hnfc hern maintained for long periods without the ordinary commercial fertilizers by the use of the light forms of lime in the right minuter. American agricul ture is far behind in this respect, with depleted fertility alter a brief period of cultivation. YVhcic an abundance of humus e.xists in non-acid soil con ditions, ordinary fertilizers gave ex cellent results for a time; but the soil, even under tho-e conditions, eventually becomes impoverished. Hlenicnts of fertility may be there, but they need stimulation. They do not combine and are, therefore, not available as plant food. I, lino Cnrboiiato XeeOed Carbonate of limo is absolutely needed, as shown by the fact Hint, if it is not supplied, the growth of the plant censes as hoon as it has used the limo contained in the seed. Prod nets raised in soil deficient in lime nre poor in quality, and, on account of the lesser miautity of limo in the plants, they me less nourishing as a food. On soils rich in lime, the plants are compact, short-jointed, stouter in stem and far more luxur iant. Pens, beans, vetch, clovers of all kinds and alfalfa rcquiiu an abund ance of lime. Jt produces a chem ical change 111 the soil which renders plant food more available; and it pro duces 11 mechanical change which brings the soil into more favorable re'ation with water and the air. Soil jpoir 111 lime and rich in clv - very unpen mtis to water, ami alter u 'hi m laiufall or irrigation it 10 Jmnnis wet too long. The uir cannot pcncti.ttc a snil of thin kind; hence, dure is no soil aeriation. j I.iitw render the potinh of the soil more available. A huge part of the potn-li ot our soils is pienent in com paratively insoluble silicates. J.imo decomposes the silicates, setting the potash tree and thus grout ly increas ing its availability. 1 The prccnco of lime in the soil I prevents the soluble phosphoric acid, applied in fettilier, from satisfying its hunger for a Iihsu by combining with iron and nliiiniuii.
