SOILS can best be plowed when they are in an intermediate moisture condition. When they are too wet, they puddle; when they are too dry, they break up into big chunks and powder. This investigation was started to find the pF of the soil moisture at the wet limit of the plowing range for a number of soils to determine whether this limit occurs in a definite •narrow tension range or whether its pF varies with texture or organic matter content.
