โœฆ Synopsis

SECTIONS 451

A description was given of the gradual chemical decomposition of animal and vegetable matter in the soil with the formation of a great number of organic compounds, some toxic to plant life, others exerting a highly favorable influence on plant growth. The methods of isolation of these compounds from the soil, and of testing their action, singly, in combination with each other, and with inorganic fertilizers, upon plants in the laboratory and in field experiments, were discussed. The relation of the results obtained to scientific agriculture was shown.

The paper was discussed at great length, a vote of thanks was extended to Dr. Schreiner, and the meeting adjourned.
