Here we notice that in almost every instance all the 

 mineral ingi-edients of the plant were extracted from 

 these soils by water. Only magnesia and chlorine are in 

 any case missing. We are not informed, unfortunately, 

 what amount of soluble matters was obtained in these 

 experiments. 



We next adduce a number of statements of the jo>-o- 

 portio7i of matters which water is capable of extracting 

 from earth, statements derived from the analyses of soils 

 of widely differing character and origin. 



I. Very rich soil (excellent for clover) from St. Martin's, 

 Upper Austria, treated with six times its quantity of cold 

 water (Jarriges). 



II. Excellent beet soil (but clover sick) from Schlan- 

 staedt, Silesia, treated with 5 times its quantity of cold 

 water (Jarriges). 



III. Fair wheat soil, Seltendorf, Silesia, treated with 5 

 times its weight of cold water (Peters). 



IV. Inferior wheat soil from Lampersdorf, Silesia — 

 5-fold quantity of water (Peters). 



V. Good wheat soil, Warwickshire, Scotland — 10-fold 

 quantity of hot water (Anderson). 



VI. Garden soil, Cologne — 3-fold amount of cold water 

 (Grouven).
