io THE SPIRIT OF THE SOIL 



the University of London King's College. At the 

 same time an account will be given of the results 

 obtained in the field. I shall describe, too, what I 

 have seen myself in some stations at which large 

 scale experiments are now in progress, and in con- 

 clusion I shall give in their own words the opinion of 

 practical agriculturists on the material used and the 

 results that they have obtained. On these bases, 

 and, if need be, on experiments conducted by himself, 

 each man will decide for himself whether or not the 

 saving of the present situation and the future of 

 agriculture rests with the bacteria of the soil. For 

 my own part I have no uneasiness as to the verdict.
