Abstract
WITH the death in Prague on April 4 of Prof. Julius Stoklasa, agricultural chemistry has been deprived of one of its most active and distinguished exponents. Born on September 9, 1857, at Leitomischl in Bohemia, Stoklasa early showed his interest in science, and when only eleven years old was appointed curator of the school natural history collection. At the early age of sixteen years he developed an interest in plant nutrition and carried out experiments on the water culture of plants; the results he obtained were communicated to the famous plant physiologist Prof. J. Sachs, who replied at some length and encouraged the young worker to continue his experiments with the view of publishing them.
