By Dr. E. C. Auchter
Summary: In this 1939 article from Science magazine, a USDA scientist discusses the budding awareness of the nutritional dependency of the plant on the soil and, in turn, of the animal and human being on the plant, making the health of the soil critical for human wellness. "These developments in the science of nutrition," Auchter writes, "suggest that we ought to give more attention to producing crops of the highest nutritional quality for man and animals." Too bad the USDA never took his advice. Reprint 79, 1939.
