Text from page 14: Data have accumulated showing that as much as forty pounds of sulfur per acre are lost annually in drainage water, while only about one fifth of this amount is brought to the soil in rain and snow. With this loss so far in excess of the addition,it seems that eventually an essential element like sulfur must become a limiting element in crop production.
