Extract

In my previous paper on the electrical determination of moisture in soils (1) I reserved the question of possible effects of soil salt movement in vitiating the conclusions therein reached as to the usefulness of the electrical method in practice. The present communication contains an account of some experiments carried out with a view to settling this point.
