This is shown in Table VI. It is also quite evident that the fertilizers have produced a relativelygreater increased yield in the low than in the high soil moisture. Thisis shown in Table .VII and in Fig. 20. All fertilizers, both mineral and nitrogenous, have greatly decreasedin their relative efficiency following an increase in soil moisture. Thedecrease is quite consistent. In the percent moisture soil theaverage increase in dry matter over that of no
