the oils.
Steels and motors held up well
and buying attention also was
focused on a number of individual
issues.
Budd CO. was active and up a

$500 shares up "a at 141a. Abbott
Lab. gained around a point at
times and enjoyed flurries of buy
ing. Texas Pacific Land Trust was
up around 2 at times but held to
the top rung with difficulty. j..
Trading was moderately active
at the opening with prices mixed
The sell off in the railroads began
in the second hour and the entire
market softened in concert. .-

Study Moisture
Loss In FalLOW

HEAVY MOISTURE loss that oc-
ours during the summerfallow period
is one of the big problems being at
tackled by agronomists of the Mon
tana State college.
DR.. J. c. Hide, station agronomist,
says that the moisture loss amounts
to 80 percent of the rainfall during
the fallow period in the great plains
area. 1t is this high even where
farmers surnmerfallow every other
year. Up to the present, he adds, lit
tie has been done toward finding
means of reducing this heavy loss.
DR.. Hide is now doing study to
learn more about the moisture loss
so it may be possible to develop
methods which will reduce the loss.
He is using family of soil tensio-
meters. This device has a series of
porous cups which are buried in the
soil. These cups are filled with wa
ter when they are buried. The rate
the soil takes the water from the
cups is then measured accurately.
This year DR.. Hide has placed
these cups from l to inches below
the surface of the soil at 1-inch in
tervals. As expected, the moisture
loss in the top inch is much higher
than at inches. In conjunction with
this experiment, DR.. Hide is testing
different materials which may slow
the rate of moisture loss.

Family of tensiometers. The porous
cups are buried near the upright in
the center of the picture. The cups
are connected 10 the columns of mer-
curry which can be seen on the up
right. The pipe connecting one of
these cups TO the mercury column is
shown at the right of the upright.
When the soil draws water from the
cup. the mercury rises. and the rate
can be read and measured accurately.
The units carrying the tags are pipes
through which the porous cups are
filled with wafer at the start of the
experiment. This family of tensio-
meters is used in wet soils. II does NOT
work in dry soils.
