Diie EXPLAINS RARE ELEMENTS IN S01L Dr. Oswald Schreiner Ad- | dresses Agricultural Chem- | ists’ Meeting. Minute quantities of rare elements in the soil may have a vital significance, at present vaguely understood, in the growth of plants and animals, including human beings, Dr. Oswald Schreiner of the Department of Agriculture told the Association of Official_ Agricultural || Chemists meeting at the Raleigh today. Dr. Schreiner included such elements || as manganeze, zinc, boron, titanium, co- balt, aluminum, fluorine and chromium as probably essential ingredients in food, pointing out that the human body con- tains nearly all of the 90 known ele- ments, although some of them are in not be detected by chemical analysis. ‘The possible importance of rare ele- ments, he said, was illustrated by the || known case of iodine, of which there is about one-third of a grain in the human A daily diet including such an ultra-microscopic quantity as ,1400 of a milligram, he pointed cut, is suffi- clent to keep up the dietary balance, but if this is not obtained, serious |j mental and physical deterioration re~ sults. | ‘The necessity for these 1are elements, the function of which nobody knows, in the diet, he said, has long been vaguely recognized in the insistence on sea- foods, which from the carliest times has been made a matter of religious practice. The sea contains 34 of the elements and is so mooile that all the || plants and animals in the sea obtain || some of them, nassing them along to || the human consumers. Sections of the | land, however, may lose some of these || elements with the result that somsthing || is lacking in the crops which rcsults || later in human deficiencies. If there is || a deficiency of fluorine in the sofil, for || instance,'it shows up in a deficiency of || :ntmel on the wetn of growing chil- ren. ‘This problem must be recognized, Dr. Schreiner said, in the composition of fertilizers which hitherto have been composed largely of the three important elements—phosphates, potassium and nitrogen. Experiments have shown that the addition of small amounts of cop- per and manganese have stimulated crop growth enormously. He described experiments with orange trees grown for several years in water cultures with the common food- elements supplied abundantly. The trees thrived at first, || but later began to show serious defi clencies, which were remedied by the addition of manganese. The assoclation was addressed this morning by Cr. Harvey Wiley on “The | Life and Work of Pasteur.’ | $190 THEFT REPORTED. Victim Tells Police Two Men || Took Money From His Shoes.
