Abstract
In Bulletin 24 are given results of the first three years of experimentation as to the relation between the amount of water used and crop yield, soil fertility, and the exit, through drains, of the matters held in solution in the water applied. In this report are included the results of the first three years, plus those of the past season. The experiment is regarded of the very highest importance in that it deals with the right amount of water essential to the growth of wheat and grass crops, but more especially as it approximately determines whether the materials of plant growth held in solution by irrigating waters are taken up by the soil, or whether the water, in passing through the soil, actually has added to it soluble matters already in the soil before the application of the water.
