Abstract
MANY of the investigations in agricultural chemistry during the past half-century have been concerned with the more accurate and detailed working out of the ideas discussed by Gilbert in his presidential address to the Chemistry Section of the British Association in 1880 and with the explanation of various points in agricultural practice which have been evolved by farmers; while nothing spectacular in the way of change may have resulted, the cumulative effect of the more accurate knowledge about soils, fertilisers, crops and nutrition has undoubtedly been important.
