Abstract
In the arid west large areas of soil contain soluble salts in sufficient concentrations to inhabit crop growth. Of the 1,416,957 acres of soil surveyed in Utah from 1899 to 1920, Jennings et al (29) reported that 43.58 per cent contained 0.2 per cent or more of salts. The management and reclamation of these soils present serious problems. The difficulties are further accentuated by the fact that many streams used for irrigation contain appreciable quantities of salt. Generally under these conditions removal of the salt from the soil becomes impracticable, and the problem is one of learning how to get along in spite of the salt.
