Extract

Even an amateur in agricultural science will admit that nowadays the fertilising effect of a substance cannot be tested merely by adding the substance to the soil and inspecting the resulting crop. This is not an experiment, it may give rise to an observation, but not to a conclusion. The production of the crop is connected with the fertilising process as a post hoc, not as a propter hoc.
