Abstract

In this day of rapid changes and a shifting panorama of agriculture when old ideas are being discarded and new ones publicized, it behooves each and every one of us to take stock of the research work in which we are engaged. It has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. Let it be hoped that the stationary stones or those who have back of them a quarter of a century of effort in one institution or field of endeavor are allowing no moss to grow upon their ideas nor permitting them get out of line with the ideas of youth with its effervescence and enthusiasm. Today, let us ask ourselves frankly: Is the current work in Animal Husbandry research so planned as to meet the needs of an aroused public consciousness as to the need for Soil Conservation? Are we planning future work with the proper regard for and anticipation of the problems of an aging soil and accompanying nutrition troubles?
