The stove has two huge ovens in

Dr. Thorn of the speakers at inter-

The science of agriculture has concentrated too
much attention upon the chemical problems Of fer

problems, he said. Too much attention has gone to

quent neglect of the importance Of carbon compounds

and even weed crops left to die on the soil.
CIMILARLY, DR.. Thorn points out that thorough

farming, may be overdone with consequent destruc-
ton of soil humus.
Dr. Thorn says that beginning has been made
toward understanding the problems Of the micro
biology of the soil
In time" he says I'VE shall be able to answer
such questions as: What totals and kinds of micro
organisms do want in the soil? How can We con-

Recent measurements have been made to cor

may take his secret to the grave

He is solitary who keeps his

His children are too young to be
