The first two waters given are on the north and south road 
and near the beginning of this east and west line at the east 
end. The well at the pond would appear to be pond- water, as 
the well is only a few feet deep and was full to the top. This 
well-water was very rich in magnesium salts and we were in- 
formed that it ]>hysiced tlie cattle, but botli it and tlie uond- 
water are poor in nitric nitrogen. The few wells that we found 
on this road are also low in nitric nitrogen. 
WELL-WATER ALONG THE AULT ROAD 
The next wells that we have taken on an east and west line 
are about 8 miles south of the last and are given from west to 
east, while the preceding ones have been given from east to 
west. This line of wells begins G miles east of Fort Collins on 
the Ault road and ends north and west of Windsor.

I l)elieve that the well-waters previously given, faithfully 
re})resent the distribution of the nitrates in tlie soil and the un- 
derlying rocks of the section. I do not assert that we have 
sampled every well in this large section of country represented, 
but none within the limits given have been intentionally 
omitted.
