Soil incubation

Soil incubation, said DR.. Jordan,
has it's place, but will not cover n
sins of cultivation, fertilization, etc.
In the absence of the required special
soil bacteria it will mend the soil en-
v1ronment so that certain plants will
have a chance to thrive. All station
work should be something more thar
Just skinned over the surface to
make some sort of show. Stations are
liable to pay toe much attention to
variety tests and to tests of methods
applicable more or less to local con
ditions. Hitching's orchard methods
may be profitable In one place and ut
terly worthless In another. Station
horticulture should deal with general
principles. In plant breeding we want
something more than simply new vari-
cites, a field that may be left for pri-
vate enterprise.
