While the surface foot was well moist during April, May, and early in June, only a small available supply (0 to 5 per cent) occurred in the second and third foot, while at no time during the season was the soil moist below the hardpan layer (about feet deep). An available supply of only 1 to 6 per cent was found at all levels above the hardpan throughout.
