Four soils, ranging in texture from loamy sand to clay, were fertilized differently and equilibrated moist for several days. Soil solutions were then separated by column‐displacement, by simple centrifugation, and by immiscible displacement with CCl 4 via centrifugation. The ionic compositions of soil solutions were unaffected by the method used to obtain the solutions.
