THIS soil is remarkable for containing even in 80
email an amount as 100 grains spprcciabe quantity
q each OF the IA elementary bodies used by Nature
\ forming perfect wheat plant Chemical analysis
lad tsueh the wheat grower Of Norfolk the nature and
,operes Of the precise things necessary TO make the
qghoe weight and substance of his desired crop So
ira his soil lacked these ingredients they ap
osed to the land In due proportions and in available
form The result OF studying Nature in the formation
Of this bread bearing plant and wisely adapting means
the object to be attained has already been stated
tust may be credited when say that Ike results may
Be realized In the production OF other crops if we will
oay furnish each living germ with such nutrtive ele
nen Nature requires to give the plant the most per-
ttt development What these elements are how they
.hsIl be combined and how used are questions in
chemical science and rural practice which we both
study and at this School Nor is the difficulty of
understanding this subject great many suppose
Allow me little space i'll your columns, and win lift
he veil.
To give uniformity to cach of those organized sub
stances which call wheat corn oats potatoes beans
&C. Nature always in making the plant the same
constituent clements and in about the proportions
mu were NOT tne case, ana Lvlng beings were organ
lied at haphazard without liked laws, could dis
ngush one plant from another, could there be the
east uniformity as TO nutrve poisonous properties
in the products OF the vegetable kingdom
It's the simple fact that the laws which govern the
g.nization OF all cultivated plants of all domestic
ssls and all their varied and valuable products
Tfyo,m anu H,"THg In thef operation, That renders
knowledge OF these laws OF such great practical i'm
porinnce to the husbandman
