Scientific agriculture is young. 1t has

The famous Liebig next appeared and
founded the first agricultural experiment

of synthetic chemistry. with his sensa-
ttonal announcement. THE soil is alive"
Today the new farmer finds himself
touched by science on all sides. He knows
that there are more living things in one
pinch OF rich soil than there are people
on the whole globe. He knows that he
can take q half dozen handouts OF earth

crop that will give him the best harvest.
