Their Existence Usually Traceable to Climatic Conditions Effects of Irrigation
Recently this office has received a number of requests for publication of information concerning alkali soils. A communication was forwarded Prof. Hilgard at Berkeley for such information upon the subject as he might be prepared to lay before our readers, and a fortnight since there appeared in those columns an interesting communication from him upon the subject. This eminent scientist has kindly furnished this office with a copy of his work upon Alkali Lands, from which we are permitted to make the following extracts:
Alkali lands must be pointedly distinguished from the salty lands of sea margins or margins, from which they differ in both their origin and essential nature. Marsh lands derive their salts from sea water that occasionally overflows them, and the salts which impregnate them are essentially "sea salts"; that is, common salt, together with bittern, epsom salt, etc. Very little of what would be useful to vegetation or desirable as a fertilizer is contained in the salts impregnating such soils; and they are by no means always intrinsically rich in plant food, but very greatly in this respect.
plantations of trees or vines, will become incapable of supporting useful growth. This annoying phenomenon is popularly known as "the rise of the alkali" in the western United States, but is equally well known in India and other irrigation regions.
The process by which the salts rise to the surface is the same as that by which oil rises in a wick. The soil being impregnated with a solution of the alkali salts, and acting like the wick, the salts naturally remain behind on the surface as the water evaporates, the process only stopping when the moisture in the soil is exhausted. We thus not infrequently find that after an unusually heavy rainfall there follows a heavier accumulation of alkali salts at the surface, while a light shower produces no perceptible permanent effect. We are thus taught that, within certain limits, the more water evaporates during the season the heavier will be the rise of the alkali.
Worst of all, however, is the effect of irrigation ditches laid in sandy lands (such as are naturally predominant in arid regions), without proper provision against seepage. The ditch water then gradually fills up the entire substratta so far as they are permeable, and the water rises from below until it reaches nearly to the ditch level; shallowing the subsoll, drowning out the deep roots of all vegetation and bringing close to the surface the entire mass of alkali salts previously diffused through many feet of substrata. If this condition is allowed to continue for some time, alkali salts originally white will by a chemical change become black, greatly aggravating the injury to vegetation. More than this, if such swamping is allowed to continue for a number of years the past week show that an average cars of this vegetable went edible. There was also a ship in Florida the orders for celery been coming very fast and it is that there will be no trouble ing the estimated 1800 cars before of the season. At one time it was though the sales would not be and there was a call for a commensal 500 acres to plow under industry is under control of thezer Celery Growers' Association posed of 165 members, when it necessary to plow under or drive number of acres the owners pro-rata for the receipts of the celery sold. Last year about 3 were destroyed in this way. However, with the Florida crop the way, it is believed every car sold.
The largest celery fields in thare are at Smeltzer, where 3000 acre under cultivation this year and rations are being made for the pof 4000 next year.
Last year there was disband among the growers of that $300,000 above all expenses. Claimed that in no place in the celery growing down to such areas as it is at Smeltzer. Prices year have ranged around 20 cdozen in crate lots for carbo-ments, and the jobbing prices has been from 35 to 40 cents. Very this year has run a little late there never was such a demand Golden Heart variety, which only kind shipped from Smeltzer.
In addition to the marketing cars of celery there will be
Alkali lands must be pointedly distinguished from the salty lands of sea margins or margins, from which they differ in both their origin and essential nature. Marsh lands derive their salts from sea water that occasionally overflows them, and the salts which impregnate them are essentially "sea salts"; that is, common salt, together with bittern, epsom salt, etc. Very little of what would be useful to vegetation or desirable as a fertilizer is contained in the salts impregnating such soils; and they are by no means always intrinsically rich in plant food, but vary greatly in this respect.
Alkali lands bear no delineation relation to the sea; they are mostly remote from it or from any former sea bed, so that they have sometimes been designated as "terrestrial lands." Their existence is usually definitely traceable to climatic conditions alone. They are the natural result of a light rainfall, insufficient to leach out of the land the salts that always form in it by the progressive weathering of the rock powder of which all soils largely consist. Where the rainfall is abundant, that portion of the salts corresponding to "sea salts" is leached out into the bottom water, and with this passes through springs and rivulets into the country drainage, to be finally carried to the ocean. Another portion of the salts formed by weathering, however, is partially or wholly retained by the soil; it is that portion chiefly useful as plant-food.
It follows that when, in consequence of insufficient rainfall, all or most of the salts are retained in the soil, they will contain not only the ingredients of sea water, but also those useful to plants. In rainy climates a large portion even of the latter is leached out and carried away. In extremely arid climates their entire mass remains in the soils; and, being largely soluble in water, evaporation during the dry season brings them to the surface, where they may accumulate to such an extent as to render the growth of ordinary useful vegetation impossible; as is seen in "alkali spots" and sometimes in extensive tracts of "alkali desert."
In looking over a rainfall map of the globe we see that a very considerable portion of the earth's surface has deficient rainfall, the latter term being commonly meant to imply any annual average less than 20 inches. The arid region thus defined includes in North America most of the country lying west of the one hundredth meridian up to the Cascade mountains, and northward beyond the line of the United States; southward it reaches far into Mexico. In South America it includes nearly all the Pacific Slope, and eastward of the Andes. In Europe the entire African coast belt is included. It appears in Asia and also a large portion of the Australian continent is included.
Over these vast areas alkali lands occur to a greater or less extent, the exceptions being the mountain regions and adjacent lands on the side exposed to prevailing oceanic winds. It will substrainta so far as they are permeable, and the water rises from below until it reaches nearly to the ditch level; shallowing the subsoll, drowning out the deep roots of all vegetation and bringing close to the surface the entire mass of alkali salts previously diffused through many feet of substrata. If this condition is allowed to continue for some time, alkali salts originally white will by a chemical change become black, greatly aggravating the injury to vegetation. More than this, if such swamping is allowed to continue for a number of years the land may be permanently injured; so that even after the alkali is removed, the soil remains inert and unthrifty for years.
In order to gain a basis for the possible means of reclaiming alkali lands, it is evidently necessary to determine by direct observation the manner in which the salts are distributed in the soils under different conditions. This can be done by sampling the soil at short intervals of depth, and leaching out and analyzing each sample separately. While this involves a great deal of work, it is manifestly the only conclusive method. A series of such investigations have been carried out by the California Experiment Station.
Water Congress March 13
The "Water Congress" proposed by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce will be held in that city on March 13. Prof. Cook of Claremont, Secretary Frank Wiggins, Prof. Mendenhall, T. P. Lukens, J. S. Slauson and C. B. Boothe comprise the committee in charge of the meeting. Secretary Wiggins has sent out invitations to various cities and organisations in Southern California, requesting that delegates be appointed to attend the meeting. It is expected that there will be a large attendance.
The object of the congress is to arouse greater interest in the irrigation question, to consider measures for the protection of the watersheds of this portion of the State, and to direct attention to the increased demand for water for all purposes, with the consequent necessity of developing and conserving the supply.
Prof. Cook, who is at the head of the farmers' clubs of Southern California, is arranging the programme. Among the speakers who are expected to address the meeting are George H. Maxwell, executive officer of the National irrigation association; Prof. Fortier of the University of California; William Mead of the United States geological survey, and F. E. Trask, local engineer of the Reclamation Service.
Women of Woodcraft
Anaheim Circle, Women of Woodcraft, was organized some evening ago with thirty members. The following officers were elected: Mrs. C. F. Grim past guardian, B. V. Beebe guardian, Mrs. Brandenburg advisor, W. B. Hutchinson banker, J. M. Backs Jr. clerk, Mrs. W. B. Hutchinson magician.
Among the growers of that $300,000 above all expenses claimed that in no place in the celery growing down to such a size as it is at Smeltzer. Prices year have ranged around 20 cents dozen in crate lots for carlo mentals, and the jobbing prices has been from 35 to 40 cents. This year he has run a little lace there never was such a demand Golden Heart variety, which only kind shipped from Smeltzer.
In addition to the marketing cars of celery there will be east about 500 carloads each o flower and cabbage. Cabbage be ready for extensive shipment March 1, but the cauliflower is rapidly and so far has come in tition only with that grown on Island. It has proved much better seller in the eastern ets, reaching almost every carl carload lot 35 cents per doze ruling price.
To Quiet Title
Suit to quiet title has begun superior court to determine own valueable beach lands at Eastport claimed by George Hagar co flores and Joseph Ferguson of N Beach. The latter first filed u property as overflow and swamp and subsequently Hagar made on the same ground, claiming tide land. Hagar then sued his claim made good. The known as "the spit," being thermost end of the arm upon Newport Beach and Bayside and ted. Since the building of these towns it has become valuable suit will determine conclusively er the property is to be regal title or swamp lands. Testime submitted, much of it being o pert nature in reference to tidie overflow.
Mining at Silverado
Recently a company backed Angeles and Bakersfield capital old Dunlop mine in Silversoy and it now has a small force at work cleaning out the old which is 250 feet into the sid mountain. About 200 tons of ore on the dump as the result of weral years ago, and this is said perts to assay from $11 to $15 and silver. At present the one to get the ore to where it can be ed on wagons is to haul it fished and dump it into a chute 600 feet A considerable quantity of ore ever, will be sent out at once view to finding out if it can be advantage. This is the first on a business basis that has been to ascertain the value of the gold-bearing ore in this secthori excitement of twenty-two ago, when the mountains in that city swarmed with prospectors ad dreds of claims were staked out
WEST OF THE CASCADES MOUNTAINS, AND NORTHWARD BEYOND THE LINE OF THE UNITED STATES; SOUTHWARD IT REACHES FAR INTO MEXICO. IN SOUTH AMERICA IT INCLUDES NEARLY ALL THE PACIFIC Slope, AND EASTWARD OF THE ANDES. IN EUROPE THE ENTIRE AFRICAN COAST BELT IS INCLUDED. IT APPEARS IN ASIA AND ALSO A LARGE PORTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CONTINENT IS INCLUDED.
OVER THESE VAST AREAS ALKALI LANDS OCCUR TO A GREATER OR LESS EXTENT, THE EXCEPTIONS BEING THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS AND ADJacent LANDS ON THE SIDE EXPOSED TO PREVAILING OCEANIC Winds. IT WILL THEREFORE BE SEEN THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE UTILIZATION OF ALKALI LANDS FOR AGRICULTURE IS NOT OF LOCAL INTEREST ONLY, BUT IS OF WORLD-WIDE IMPORTANCE. IT WILL ALSO BE NOTED THAT MANY OF THE COUNTRIES REFERRED TO ARE THOSE IN WHICH THE MOST ANCIENT civilizations HAVE EXISTED IN THE PAST, BUT WHICH AT PRESENT, WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, ARE Occupied BY SEMICIVILIZED PEOPLE ONLY. IT IS Doubtless FROM THIS CAUSE THAT THE NATURE OF ALKALI LANDS HAS UNTIL NOW BEEN SO LITTLE UNDERSTUDDED THAT EVEN THEIR ESSENTIAL DISTINCTNESS FROM THE SEA-BORDER LANDS HAS BEEN BUT LATELY RECognized IN FULL. MOREover, THE GREAT INTRinsic FERTILITY OF THESE LANDS HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE APPreciated, THEIR REPELLENT ASPECT CAUSING THEM TO BE GENERALLY CONSIDERED AS WASTE LANDS.
THIS ASPECT IS ESSENTIALLY DUE TO THEIR NATURAL Vegetation Being In Most Cases Confined To Plants Useless To Man, COMMONLY DESIGNATED AS "SALINE VEGETATION," OF WHICH BUT LITTLE IS USUALLY RELISHED BY Cattle. NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE OCCUR IN AUSTRALIA AND AFRICA, WHERE THE "SALTBUSES" OF THE FORMER AND THE "KARROO" VEGETATION OF THE LATTER FORM VALUABLE PASTURE.
ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING AND DISCOURAGING FEATURES OF THE CULTIVATION OF LANDS IN ALKALI REGIONS IS THAT, although in their natural condition they may show but little alkali on their surface, and that mostly in limited spots, usually somewhat depressed below the general surface, these spots are found to enlarge rapidly as irrigation is practiced; and since alkali salts are the symptoms and result of insufficient rainfall, irrigation is a necessary condition of agriculture wherever they prevail. UNDER Irrigation, neighboring spots will oftentimes merge together into one large one, and at times the entire area, once highly productive and perhaps covered with valuable

Get a Grip
If you fancy your hold on your fortune is lost,
Get a grip;
If you just missed the buoy some passenger tossed,
Get a grip;
For you'll find as you creep through the Valley of Care,
Where the pathway is rough and the fields are too bare
That the man who hangs on is the man who gets there.
Get a grip.
There is nothing that's lost that is hopelessly lost.
Get a grip.
The prize we may win it we work for the cost.
Get a grip.
The man who courts failure can win it. I know;
He has but to give up and let the thing go.
But the fellow who wins must stand to the blow.
Get a grip.
I am preaching this sermon not only for you—
Get a grip—
For I need it myself; I most certainly do—
Get a grip.
But I've watched the great game till I know how it's played,
And the man who wins out is the man undismayed
By the blow that another would lay in the shade.
Get a grip.

AGRICULTURE STUDY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Bills Introduced by the San Joaquin Legislators Attracting Much Attention. Points in Proposed New Law.
The agricultural education bills introduced in the Senate by Senator Muenter and in the Assembly by Assemblymen Beardslee and Moore are being backed vigorously by the State Grange and by many agricultural and commercial organizations of California. The three bills provide for teaching "nature study, including the elements of agriculture" in the common schools of the state. Under the present law "nature study" is a required subject. The amended law seeks to emphasize the study of the elements of agriculture in the rural schools of agricultural counties rather than the broader and more scattering subject of "nature study." The bills do not make a study of agriculture mandatory. They simply authorize the introduction of the study in the schools of any county.
Senate bill No. 21 and Assembly bill No. 59 amend sections 1521, 1665, 1771 and 1775 of the Political Code of the State of California (all relating to public schools and education) by making provisions for the teaching, in the public schools, in connection with nature study, the elements of agriculture.
Besides authorizing the teaching of nature study, including the elements of agriculture, renewable at the option of the board: Nature study certificates, authorizing the holders to supervise nature study, including the elements of agriculture, in the primary, grammar and high schools of the county.
Senate bill No. 52 and Assembly bill No. 153 are as follows:
"An act establishing a bureau of information for the purpose of disseminating knowledge of nature study, agriculture and related subjects (applicable to conditions in California), to the public schools of the State, to be known as the 'Central Bureau of Information,' indicating the method of disseminating such knowledge; fixing the location of said bureau; designating and naming the members of the board to control said bureau; indicating the powers of such board and the time for its first meeting; and appropriating the sum of $10,000 to pay the expenses of said bureau for the fiscal years 1905 and 1906."
The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. In order to improve rural life and to build up the business of farming in the State of California, a bureau of information for the purpose of disseminating knowledge of nature study, agriculture, and related subjects (especially applicable to conditions in California), to the primary, grammar and high schools of the State, is hereby established.
Sec. 2. The bureau shall be known and designated as "The Central Bureau of Information."
Sec. 3. The bureau shall disseminate knowledge and information concerning the subjects under its control through a network of agencies.
The growers of that section 100,000 above all expenses. It is claimed that in no place in the world is every growing down to such a science it is at Smeltzer. Prices for the car have ranged around 20 cents per ten in crate lots for carload shipments, and the jobbing price locally has been from 35 to 40 cents. The celery this year has run a little large, but there never was such a demand for the Golden Heart variety, which is the only kind shipped from Smeltzer.
In addition to the marketing of 1800 tons of celery there will be shipped about 500 carloads each of cauliflower and cabbage. Cabbage will not already for extensive shipment until March 1, but the cauliflower is moving slowly and so far has come in competition only with that grown on Long Island. It has proved much fresher than a better seller in the eastern markets, reaching almost every city. In load lots 35 cents per dozen is the rising price.
To Quiet Title
Ault to quiet title has begun in the superior court to determine ownership valuable beach lands at East Newtown claimed by George Hagar of Miracles and Joseph Ferguson of Newport Beach. The latter first filed upon the property as overflow and swamp land, subsequently Hagar made filings in the same ground, claiming it as land. Hagar then sued to have claim made good. The land is known as "the spit," being the furthest end of the arm upon which Newport Beach and Bayside are situated. Since the building of the beach runs it has become valuable. The suit will determine conclusively whether the property is to be regarded as sea or swamp lands. Testimony was submitted, much of it being of an extent nature in reference to tides and overflow.
Mining at Silverado
Recently a company backed by Los Angeles and Bakersfield capital leased Old Dunlop mine in Silverado canada and it now has a small force of men working cleaning out the old tunnel, which is 250 feet into the side of the mountain. About 200 tons of ore are dumped as the result of work several years ago, and this is said by experts to assay from $11 to $15 in gold silver. At present the only way to get the ore to where it can be loaded on wagons is to haul it half a mile and dump it into a chute 600 feet long. Considerable quantity of ore, however, will be sent out at once with a law finding out if it can be worked advantage. This is the first effort in business basis that has been made ascertain the value of the alleged bed-bearing ore in this section since its excitement of twenty-two years when the mountains in that local area swarmed with prospectors and hundreds of claims were staked out.
All Run Down
THIS is a common expression we hear on every side. Unless there is some organic trouble, the con-
life and to build up the business of farming in the State of California, a bureau of information for the purpose of disseminating knowledge of nature study, agriculture, and related subjects (especially applicable to conditions in California), to the primary, grammar and high schools of the State, is hereby established.
Sec. 2. The bureau shall be known and designated as "The Central Bureau of Information."
Sec. 3. The bureau shall disseminate knowledge and information concerning the subjects under its control through agricultural extension work, correspondence, lectures, free distribution of bulletins and circulars.
Sec. 4. The bureau shall be located at the University of California and shall be under the control of a board of controllers of five members.
Senate bill No. 49 and Assembly bill No. 60 provide for the appointment, by the county superintendent of schools in counties so desiring, of a supervisor of nature study, agriculture and related subjects.
Taylor Released
Samuel T. Taylor, arrested for an alleged abortion, secured his release from the county jail through bail money furnished by his father-in-law, Rudolph Theissen, and Mr. Cook, both of Fullerton. Bonds had been set at $1500. The complaint in the hands of the officers here alleges that the felony with which Taylor is charged was committed December 17, 1904, upon the person of Lena Gibson in Warrens-town Mo. The complaining witness is J. B. Garber, prosecuting attorney of Warren county. Officers are on their way here from Missouri with extradition papers to take Taylor back.
Water Bonds Sold
The city trustees of Orange sold the $50,000 issue of municipal water bonds to the Adams-Phillips company of Los Angeles, for par and accrued interest. The bonds bear interest at 4% per cent and run for forty years. The purchasers are owners of the present city water supply and immediately following the sale of the bonds the trustees voted to buy the waterworks from them for $29,000 cash. The remaining $21,000 of the issue will be devoted to improving the present system and extending and enlarging mains to give ample fire protection.

Up to this time he has secured indorsements from all California Republicans in the House, but he has not yet got either Senator Perkins or Senator-elect Flint to recommend him and it will be necessary, probably, for him to get both of these indorsements, inasmuch as Senator Bard is understood to be taking no hand in the matter. Mr. Daniels has asked both Perkins and Flint to recommend him. They will confer about the matter when Flint arrives in Washington next month.
Lost His Money
Miguel Montoya, a Mexican living near Placentia, has good reason for remembering his visit to Los Angeles. He was attacked in a lodging house by a man who spoke his language, seized by the throat, and while the robber flourished a huge knife over him, robbed of $250, the savings of more than a year.
B. A. Stafford of Ashland, Oregon, is visiting in town, the guest of Mr. Wyatt, and is thinking of locating.
Howard Spencer of Orangethorpe fell from a ring while practicing in the high school gymnasium at Fullerton and broke his left arm near the wrist joint.
N. B. Pierce, who is in charge of the government experimental gardens in Orangethorpe, has purchased another ten-acre tract and will enlarge his field of work. He is at present trying to produce a walnut tree and grapevine that will be free from diseases.
Albert Landreth, a well-known young man of Fullerton, and Miss Maude Ripple Stull of Victor, Colo., were married Wednesday evening last at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Landreth, in the presence of relatives and friends. Rev. Mr. Markel of the Christian church of this city officiated. Wedding dinner was served, at the conclusion of which the bridal couple repaired to their newly erected home amid the well wishes of those present.
