The situation is different with higher plants. They grow, each in its specific way — as the preparation plants in particular demonstrate — up out of the fertile soil, the «middle» between the heights and the depths. This middle is, as yet, only germinally disposed; it does not yet act independently out of itself in its functions with regard to silica, lime, clay and humus; it stands in need of education. This concerns above all the functions of clay, which in their seasonal rhythmics carry a predisposition toward a kind of heart-function, and those of humus, whose dynamic is closer to the kidney-function. The measures taken toward this education constitute the true art of farming.
