RATIO MOISTURE EQUIVALENT TO MOISTURE CONTENT. 
On Plat A the maximum ratio of the moisture equiv- 
alent to the moisture content increased from 1.09 on June 
20th to 1.17.0on June 26, and the minimum increased 
from 0.86 to 0.92; considering only the upper 6 feet of 
soil. The average ratio ranged from 0.98 on June 20th 
to 1.05 on the 26th of June. The average maximum and 
minimum for the individual foot sections in Plats B and C 
are almost exactly the same as for Plat A. The average 
of the upper 6 feet for Plats B and C being 0.96 to 1.06, 
and 0.94 to 1.05, which is also very nearly the same as 
for Plat A. 
In the soil from 7 to 12 feet of Plat A, the ratio 
decreases after June 20th because water was moving 
into this soil from the upper 6 feet but it was not during 
this time moving out below the 12-foot plane. The 
decrease in Plat A was from 1.21 to 1.09, whereas Plat 
B increased from 0.86 to 0.92 and in Plat C it increased 
from 0.85 to 0.93.
