For the past hundred years agrlcul-

question whether II were possible to.
utilize the free nitrogen Of the atmos-
phare as the food OF plants, and they
all seem to have come to the conclu-
sion that the nitrogen OF the afr is not

(peas, beans, etc.) had an excess Of
nitrogen over that which could be ac--
counted for as coming from the rain

TO the land. Experiments subsequent,
ly proved that this assimilation OF
nitrogen depends upon the presencei
OF certain bacteria which cause swell

that each particular leguminous plant
can be identified with certain micro,

fects its growth. Photographs have,
