Abstract
MOST of our scientific knowledge of the soil ±V1 has been built up during the past century. It was only with the development of modern science, and especially of chemistry and geology, that such knowledge could advance, and it was about a century ago that our early knowledge of the chemical composition and mineral constitution of the soil was built up. This knowledge has been advancing ever since but with particular rapidity during the present century.
