At the bottom of Table V is given the area of each soil in square centimeters per gram as calculated from its mechanical analysis. This affords a rough com-parison of soil texture withabsorptive power, andshows that in a broad waythe absorptive power isgreater for soils of fine tex-ture, as would be clay absorbsthree times the mass ofwater vapor that Marshallsilt loam takes up, while the calculated area of the clay per gram is not three times greater, but less than a third greater, than for the silt Fig. .1 .2 .3 4 .5 PCR CENT Of MOISTURE —Curve showing variation of moisture in quartzflour with increase in atmospheric humidity.
