Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Survey Around Imperial, Cal Farming in the desert to ordinary crops, fruit or alfalfa will be impossible on much of the land, and risky on all unless Special pre cautions are taken to prevent the rise of the alkali. Of the level lands only 17 per cent have less than per cent alkali, while 32 per cent have from to per cent. This 49 per cent of the area can be farmed to nearlv all crops as long as the accumulation of the alkali at the surface is prevented. The remainder of the land, or 51 per cent, will have to be farmed to alkali-resistant crops. Date palms, sorghum, sugar beets, and barley will likely be most successful. Even where farmed to these resistant crops the greatest precaution should be taken to prevent an accumulation of alkali at or near the surface.
