The soil is sandy with some gravel and carries but little clay 

 in surface or subsoil. This soil contains relatively small 

 amounts of organic matter and the conditions are very different 

 from the clay soil already referred to. 



Table XX shows the water-soluble inorganic constituents in 

 the checks and the fertilized plots. The data show a higher 

 amount of water-soluble inorganic matter where the fertilizers 

 have been applied. The types of soil lying between this and 

 the heavy clay soil will show a higher water-soluble inorganic 

 content when fertilized. This will be greater as the soil 

 becomes lighter in character.
