C. H. SPURWAY The subject matter of this paper deals with the chemical aspects of the problem at hand. It is based on the electronic theory of valence and assumes that in the soil-salt reactions the processes taking place have for their basis the transference or sharing of electrons. Soils in contact with water solutions are the experimental conditions under consideration. The processes discussed are those which may be considered under the heading of major reactions. The principal factors to be considered in connection with the title of this paper are as follows: Kind of soil base; quantity of soil base; ratio of base to base and of base to acid; concentration of the liquid phase; and hydrolysis and ionization.
