Abstract
DR. DEMOLON is well known as one of the clearest thinkers and one of the most ingenious-minded among agricultural investigators. As chief scientific advisor to the French Ministry, of Agriculture, he is kept in close touch with the practical problems of the French farmer, and as head of the research laboratories at Versailles he is equally closely associated with modern movements in science. In his earlier publication, “La Dynamique du Sol”, he dealt with the formation and composition of soils and the changes occurring therein; in the present volume, which is by way of a continuation, he discusses the relations between the soil and the growing plant, the subject which as he truly points out is the foundation on which rests scientific agriculture.
