down the nutritive quality of the food crops
may suffer before the quantity production
falls off. Research has pretty well demon
strated that vitamin content of food is
related to the amount of available mineral
in the soil upon which it is grown. There
seems to be an especially close connection
between vitamins and trace minerals such
as iodine, cobalt and manganese.
There is accommodating evidence that hui
man health is influenced greatly by soil con-
ditions. People who eat plants or animals
grown ON mineral-poor soils are ill-nour-
ished and become susceptible to disease, just
