The remarkable effect of a soil conditioner on the germination of wheat in pot experiments with a heavy soil of the Cruden Bay Association is described. A field experiment was also carried out resulting in no effect on the crop but in a significant increase in the amount of water‐stable aggregates in the soil. On a light soil, improvement in growth of carrots was observed.
