1939

On all sides the show was pronounced to be a great success from the points of the interest evinced by the owners of cattle of the quality of the animals shown and of the efficiency of the organization. [...] The show was intended to provide only a display of the best original material available in the country for the purpose of regulated experiments in breeding and it is most necessary that the public the exhibitors and the Association should realize that the success of'the show did not go beyond the scope of this limited objective. [...] This is due to the competition between the roots of the main and the cover crop for the moisture and nutrients of the soil. [...] An acute and prolonged deficiency of calcium results in the mottling and chlorosis of the leaves the die-back of the branches poor crop yields and ultimately even the death of the trees. [...] cit.) report that the loss of nitrogen increases with the relative humidity of the air ; and that the rate of loss depends on the initial moisture content and the relative proportion of the mixture exposed to the atmosphere.
