Excerpt from A Study of the Soils of the United States

No industry is so vital to the well-being of a nation as agriculture and nothing SO vital to agriculture as the soil. From its treasury it has been estimated1 that we drew last year (1909) more than and its possibilities are as yet only partially realized. There are still in this country millions of acres which have never felt the plow, while those which are now under cultivation can, by the application of scientific principles, be made to produce many times the present value of their products. How to use and not abuse this great resource is the most important problem which faces the farmer of to-day - one worthy of the best efforts of our most pro found and learned scientists; for upon its solution depends the future prosperity of the nation.
