As soluble materials are leached from alkaline soils they may become compact and refractory. This phenomenon is hindered by the presence of calcium or magnesium. Data on calcium‐sodium ratios of river waters in different localities are given. It is believed that an unfavorable ratio from the agricultural standpoint would be a favorable ratio with respect to ceramics. The possibilities of use of waters of low calcium‐sodium ratio in tempering clays to produce greater density are to be investigated.
