DISPUTE OVER PLANT FOOD.
The B0tanIsts and the Chemists Have
Different Points OF View-Both
sides Insintent.

There Is no chemical problem moro
intimately connected with human well
fare than that of plant food, according
to a paper read before the American
Chemical society recently by DIR. II. W.
Wiley, chief chemist of the department
of agriculture. Animal life can only be
sustained through the mediation of
plants. Various views have been enter
tanned of the nature of plant food by
philosophers In different eras of his
tory. The first view of plant food may
be denominated the meteoric. 1t was the
one entertained by Pliny and Virgil in
their agricultural writings 1000 years
ago. This idea of plant food supposes
that plants derive their nourishment
from meteoric sources, usually OF SUI
pernatural origin. Even at the begin
ming of the present century men whose
attainments in science marked them as
leaders believed that the plants had
some mysterious relation with meteor
ic influences. At the close of the last
century, however, and at the beginning
of the present one, the progress of
chemistry had been sufficient to prove
the falsity of the views of the older phi
losophers.
According TO Count Gyllenborg, who
flourished in Sweden at the end of the
eighteenth century, vegetables are
nourished largely by watery. inflam-
mable and subtle, oily or sulphurous
particles which the air contains. Sir
Humphry David entertained more RED.
sonable views of plant food, but still
was of the opinion that the plant OBJ
tanned very little of its nourishment
from the mineral substances which the
soil contains. 1t was not, however, UNI
til the time of Liebig, about the middle
Of the present century, that the organic
theory OF vegetable nourishment was
finally overthrown. and the mineral
theory, which now practically pre-
walls. was established. According TO
the mineral theory OF plant nutrition,
the food of plants, especially of green
plants. consists almost exclusively of
mineral substances. Before organic
substances can be served as plant food
they must be reduced to the mineral
state by the process of decay or of hac-
terial action.
Within the last few years conflicting
statements in regard to the nature of
plant food have emanated from differ
ent scientific sources. The botanists
speak OF starch and sugar as plant
foods much in the same manner EN-
ployed by chemists of hundred years
ago. II Is evident that the point OF
view Of the botanists is entirely differ
ent from that of the chemists. The
chemical and correct theory OF plant
food Is that IL consists Of those sub
stances almost exclusively mineral In
their nature. which, entering the plant,
serve TO supply its vital activity and
build up it's tissues, This point of view
does not include foods Of white plants
or those which contain no chlorophyll.
From an economic point o~Siew. the in
crease and conservation OF plant food
have direct eonnsction with the pro-
duetion OF human food and the increase
