Throughout nature, life is the agent which he uses for producing this combination of soil and air into human food. Plant life and animal life both contribute to the process, but it is through life alone that the chemical combinations which result in the production of food are possible. The larger part of the material from which food is manufactured is derived from the inexhaustible supplies in the atmos- phere, but a considerable portion, and an extremely important part of it, is derived directly from the soil. While the atmosphere is practically inexhaustible in its supply of plant food, this is not true of the soil. When the soil is chemically analyzed it is found to contain a certain amount of material that can serve as plant food, but this material is limited in quantity, and whenever a plant grows upon soil it extracts a certain amount of this limited food supply.
