Other soils contain only a medium amount of soluble salts, and the vegetation is composed chiefly of alkali-resisting plants. Still other soils contain much smaller quantities of soluble salts, and they become injurious only when the soil is improperly handled. The reclaiming of the heavily charged soils and the maintaining of the others in a productive condition can be carried on...
