Valuable Fodder Plant for Alkali Soils and Arid Regions. 
The matter of green forage for stock under arid conditions, and also to utilize the arid soils for 
which California is noted, much experimental culture has been tried with varying success, until the 
introduction of the salt bushes of Australia. These have given excellent satisfaction, adapting them¬ 
selves to our arid conditions and thriving on alkali soils as no other plant has. In a late bulletin 
detailing the results of 18 years of experimental cultures under all sorts of conditions and soils, the 
State University Experiment Stations give the following summary of the specific results: 
"Atriplex Semibaccatum is the most generally useful species of all that have been planted, although 
others are worthy of cultivation. It shows that semibaccatum grows on strong alkali soil, furnishing a 
very large amount of satisfactory pasturage or fodder; that it also thrives on arid non-alkaline uplands, 
even where wells have to be sunk 200 feet to water, and where the annual rainfall has been less than 
five inches. * * * The salt bushes are of easy, rapid growth, and are hardy under California con¬ 
ditions. Reported from Australia as enduring 14° Fahr., without injury, some of the American tests 
would indicate that semibaccatum will stand considerably more cold than this.”
