Abstract
IN time of war there is a special need for the dissemination of the findings of scientific research, and in no field is this more true than in agriculture and horticulture. The application of known facts is often more important than the making of new discoveries. Following this principle, the John Innes Horticultural Institution is preparing a series of leaflets embodying in condensed but adequate form the results of some of the most practically important lines of investigation which have been followed in recent years. The first three of these leaflets have already appeared and deal respectively with the John Innes composts, soil sterilization for pot plants and the John Innes soil sterilizer.
