“Building Up the Soil by Building Down.”
“To be Well Fed Is to be Healthy Even for Plants, Pigs and People.”
“Health From the Ground Up.”
“We go to the drug store for cure, rather than to the Soil for prevention.”
“Public Health calls for conservation of Soil Fertility.”
“The Dental Profession has a Real Stake in Soil Fertility.”
“Our ‘sweet tooth’ in the dietary sense has become a carious tooth in a dental sense as a result of the unobserved and unappreciated exploitation of the soil fertility.”
“Our Soils, like ourselves, must be fed back to health.”
“The pattern of life, natural or managed, must fit patterns of soil fertility.”
“Our national health, as well as our national wealth, lies in our soils.”
“To the observant dentist, teeth and the mouth as a whole reflect the nutritional plane of his patient and thereby reveal not only the irregularities in the quality of his food, but should point much farther back to the plane of soil fertility in the region where the patient’s food was grown.”
“Plant breeding has been credited with wonders when we think of hybrid corn. But to date no geneticist’s creation has yet come forward that can tolerate starvation or the lack of soil fertility.”
“Certainly our national health picture as it is coming into clearer view from the data collected in assembling our armed forces will give us clear conviction that our health is determined according to the soil. This view should likewise bring into focus the international picture as it rests on the different soils.”
“Patterns of Nourishment are premised on Soil Fertility.”
“Food is fabricated soil fertility.”
It is food that must win the war and write the peace. Consequently the question of who will win the war and how indelibly the peace will be written will be answered by the reserves of soil fertility and the efficiency with which they can be mobilized for both the present and post-conflict areas. National consciousness has recently taken notice of the great losses by erosion from the body of the surface soil. We have also begun to give more than passive attention to malnutrition on a national scale. Not yet however, have we come to recognize soil fertility as the food-producing forces within the soil which reveals national and international patterns of weakness or strength.
