Sypnosis More organic sulfur than inorganic sulfate was contained in the surface horizons of a Durham and Marlboro soil. In the lower horizons there was an accumulation of sulfate in both soils. On the Durham soil sulfur deficiencies were exhibited. by cotton and tobacco early in the growing season. Only cotton gave a response to additions of gypsum. Cotton and soybeans removed considerably more sulfur than tobacco or corn. Availability of soil sulfur was evaluated by use of yield of sulfur Curves.
