Reclaiming Alkali Land Near Yakima Shows Progress
The Gervais tract southeast of Yakima City hosts government supported alkali reclamation tests led by J H Means from the agricultural department. Trenches and tiling drain three to four feet deep, flooding squares to dissolve alkali and carry it away. Cost varies by soil, with estimates from 12 to 380 dollars per acre. Other farmers visit the site as a field exemplar, with Means set to return in September.
