> In all these cases we see the way Nature hits back when her rule about the correct relation between the plant and the animal is disregarded. She is trying to tell us that we shall have to retrace our steps and restore the natural partnership.
> But the official advisers of our farmers are doing their utmost to sidetrack Nature's warnings by bolstering up the findings of experiment stations
