For the last few years it has been realized that soil erosion was a factor which should have been considered in determining the relation between soil deterioration and crop yields on the fertility experiment plots at Wooster. When this study was begun no method had been devised whereby the erosion factor could be evaluated and be given its specific place in a discussion of soil deterioration. Therefore, it has been the aim of this investigation to determine the amount of soil lost and to study the relationship of erosion to slope, fertility treatment, nitrogen content and the reflection of these in the crop yields, on the Wooster silt loam.
