(4) Correlations between the moisture equivalent and the maximum 

 amounts of water found after irrigation show a gratifying agreement 

 and suggest that the moisture equivalent might be made a basis of 

 judging maximum capillary capacities. 



(5) A new method of determining volume weight of soil in place 

 which is simple of manipulation and inexpensive is described. The 

 results of the new method of determining the volume weight of clay- 

 loam soil, as checked by a paraffin-immersion method first used by Prof. 

 Charles F. Shaw and by the use of an iron tube, were subject to an 

 error of less than i per cent.
