OREC.ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 10.V2 , ,i mui sr r Recommendations Picture Reclaiming Alkali Soil Lands In Tulelake Area For the put three years Farm Advisor Ken Baghott of Tulelnkc has been conducting testa in coop eration with Tulelake farmers to determine the best means of re claiming the alkali soils In the northeast portion of the Tulelake Basin, He nas tried several cor rectives such as gypsum, sulfur, a sulfuric acid and Icels that enough data has been obtained to make Round recommendations for the re claiming of these soils. The Farm Advisor says that high concentrations of soluble and in soluble sodium salts are the cause of all of the trouble and that only very little of the sodium can be leached from the soils by the ap plication of water. It is possible to leach considerable calcium from the soil but most sodium Is In an Insoluble form which must be re moved by a chemical reaction with in the soil itself. This requires what he rails a soil corrective or soil ammendment such as gypsum sulfuric acid or sulfur. It also re quires the application of an abun dance of irrigation water fre quently and a satisfactory system of soil drainage. To reclaim alkali soils the Farm Advisor suggests that the soil De leveled, ditched and checked and Uiat a good seeooed oe prepared. After this has been accomplished, the farmer should Uien apply his soil corrective such as gypsum or sulfuric acid. After the amend ment has been applied the field should be trriirated: the water should not be drained off the Held but should be allowed to percolate through the soil and thereby allow the corrective to react chemically with the sodium and form sodium sulfate which will leach out of tho soli In the irrigation water. Tie Farm Advisor specifies that thti chemical action doesn't seem to help the soil drainage unless the water is allowed to stay on the field. Then the water should drain through the soil rapidly on the third or fourth Irrigation. The soil cannot be completely reclaimed in one or two years but will require applications of the correctives to "slick spots" yearly, until they are completely reclaimed. The Farm Advisor slates thai frequently farmers apply too small amounts of the corrective and as a result can see no appreciable benefit from the application. He recommends the application, to se vere alkali soil, of not less than two tons of gypsum per acre: and it may be advisable lo apply 3 or 4 tons per acre to the "slick spots" in the field. He docs not recom mend using less than 1 ton of sul furic acid per acre and some iieios MALCOLM Eri.F.Y, Jr. Farm Editor Rat Control Booklet Out Clover Diet May Wipe Out Bees Dr. H. A.

Dale - Barnes demonstrated the proper method for reviving a drowning person. Interesting and enlightening talks were given by Henry Semon. who spoke on Legislature and Charlie Henderson, who spoke on Agricul ture.

He should apply a sulflclent amount of the corrective. olher- wise the results' will be unsatisfac tory. 3. This soil corrective should not be worked into the soli but should stay on the surface. 4. After sufficient amounts of the correctives have been applied he should irrigate several times the first year. 5. Good results will be obtained only if the water is allowed to move through the soil rather than being drained off of the top ot the soil. 6. If the cropland is to be worked the second year. ' It should be worked -shallow, otherwise, alkaJi soil will be turned back dn top and the reclamation process must be repeated. 7. It Is advisable, wherever pos sible, to seed the alkali soils to alfalfa or permanent pasture the first year. This allows the crop to remain in for a period of years and does away with soil cultivation and encourages frequent irriga tions. 8. Only the top six inches of soil should be tried to be reclaimed. To reclaim deeper would be too ex: pensve. If the first six inches is fairly well reclaimed a crop can be raised which will tend to com plete the reclamation process. 500 thoroughbred horses for use by the Turkish army, the newspaper Lewa Al Istiklal reported.
