EXPLAINS RARE
ELEMENTS IN SOIL
Or. Oswald Schreiner Ad-
dresses Agricultural Chem
iSts' Meeting.

Minute quantities of rare elements in
the soil may have vital significance,
at present vaguely understood, in the
growth Of plants and animals including
human beings, Dr. Oswald Schreiner Of
the Department of Agriculture told the
Association of Official Agricultural
Chemists meeting at the Raleigh today.
DR.. Schreiner included such elements
as manganese, zinc, boron, titanium, CO.
bait, aluminium, fluorine and chromium
as probably essential ingredients in food,
pointing out that the human body con-
tains nearly all of the 80 known ele-
ments. although some of them are in
such minute quantities that they can
not be detected by chemical analysis.
The possible Importance of rare ele-
ments, he said. was illustrated by the
known case of iodine, of which there Is
about one-third of grain in the human
body. A daily diet including such an
tra-microscopic quantity as .1400 of
a milligram, he pointed out, is sufi-
cient to keep up the dietary balance.
but If this is not obtained, serious
mental and physical deterioration re-
suits.
The necessity for these 1are elements,
the function of which nobody knows, in
the diet, he said, has long been vaguely
recognized in the insistence on sea-
foods, which from the earliest times
has been made matter of religious
practice. The sea contains "a of the
elements and Is so mobile that all the
plants and animals in the sea obtain
some of them, passing them along to
the human consumers. Sections of the
land, however, may lose some of these
elements with the result that something
is lacking in the crops which results
later in human deficiencies. # there is
deficiency of huorine in the soil, for
instance, 1t shows up in deficiency of
enamel on the Ieetn of growing chill
dren
This problem must be recognized, Dr.
Schreiner said, in the composition of
fertilizers which hitherto have been
composed largely of the three important
elements-phosphate potassium and
nitrogen. Experiments have shown that
the addition Of small amounts Of cop
per and manganese have stimulated
crop growth enormously. He described
experiments with orange trees grown
for several years in water cultures with
the common food elements supplied
abundantly. The trees thrived at first,
but later began to show serious def
ciencies, which we're remedied by the
addition of manganese.
The association was addressed this
morning by Or. Harvey Wiley on "The
Life and Work of Pasteur."
