From a persual of the above quotations 1 gather that 

 the culture and manipulation of our soil is indeed a subject 

 for mature consideration. How can we expect success by 

 superficial cultivation ? To maintain a plant in vigor we 

 must at least work our soil and assist Nature t to help us. 



The subject is one of vital importance and in concluding 

 my remarks on parasitic disease I fearlessly assert that all 

 remedies must go into, and affect, the SOIL, which alone gives 

 energy to the plant which by Nature is constituted the 

 medium for elaborating its hidden wealth for the benefit 

 and use of mankind generally.
