Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Distribution of the Salts in Alkali Soils
The culture experiment station near the town of Tulare, originally intended to represent the upper San Joaquin Valley at large, has thus, instead, become the station for the study of the alkali problem in all its phases, from the mildest to the worst. Until this problem is solved, no cert'ain conclusions for the region at large can be drawn from the cultural results observed there; since we now know that all the vegeta tion on the Station grounds is under more or less stress from the alkali in the soil. If, however, we shall be successful in overcoming this in?uence, as we hope to be, the Station will have rendered, not only to the San Joaquin Valley and the State at large, but to the entire region west of the Rocky Mountains, a most important service.
