In tho former, nnd, lomuo of the
Increased heat or summer, It will bo
much greater at that season thnn In

moisture on or near the surface. Tho
Influence, of wind In thu taking up

These luflueucra frequently net In
conjunction, nod when they do the
loss of moisture from the aoll will
be very rapid in the absence or meas
ure to prevent It.
The extent to which soil molsturo
I lost through evaporation will be
proportionate: (1) to tho extent to
"which the agencies of nlr and wind
are operative In removing It; (2) to
the extent to which other Influencca
re presunt that facilitate such loss,
mid (3) to the extent to which aoll

the former the unhlno I hotter,
nnd tho humidity of the nlr I Irs.
The winda Hi ay not bo nny stronger
but they nro warmer. Tho nnnunl
average evaporation of surface wnter
In dry area I usually several time
greater than the annual precipitation.
In the i'anhnndlo of Texas, tho an
nual evaporation has been placed at
about Ui Inches, wherean along thu

and Montana It la not moro thnn half

upward movement cvnsos. Should
rain fall and moisten tho soil down

tho upward inovomeut begins again,
Water' moves up to tho surfuce and
unchecked mingles with tho air. If
this movement Is not chucked by
stirring thes urfneo soil, much mois
ture will soon escapo. Such stirring
of the soil Is much more liable to
