Sulfur Contained in Precipitation in Kentucky1

William A. Seay2

Sypnosis: Average annual precipitation at six locations ranged from 36 to 44 inches and yielded from 7 to 16 pounds of sulfur per acre. A highly significant correlation was found between inches of precipitation and pounds of sulfur contained. The state annual average of 12.6 pounds per acre of sulfur contained in the precipitation was much less than the 30 pounds found in a similar study in 1921–22.

1 Contribution from the Agronomy Department, published by permission of the Director, Kentucky Agr. Exp. Sta. This study, connected with the Southern Regional Sulfur Project, was made in cooperation with 11 other southern experiment stations, TVA and ARS. Appreciation is expressed to H. V. Jordan and C. E. Bardsley, Jr. of the Eastern Soil and Water Management Section, Soil and Water Conservation Research Branch, A.R.S., U.S.D.A., who coordinated this study by arranging for rain gauges, shipping of rainwater to a central point, and analyses. Acknowledgement is due Marvin Gieger, Chemist, Mississippi Agr. Exp. Sta., in whose laboratory most of the sulfur determinations were made.
