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

mind in alkali reclamation
1. Farmer should have field lev
eled and a good seedbed prepared
before applying any sod correc
tive. 2. 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.
