SOIL ROBBER Is DISCOVERED
Two English Scientists Announce They
Have Found Micro-organism
Which Destroys Bacteria.

Two English scientists, Drs. Russell
and Hutchinson, announce that they
have discovered the micro-organism
which destroys the bacteria essential
to the fertility of the SOIL Other SCI
entists declare the discovery the most
important made in half century.
Having found the culprit, the next
thing, for the scientists to do will be
to discover his natural enemy" and
proceed to eliminate him from the CO.'S
mic scheme. The discovery seems to
have come none too soon, since, &C
cording to estimates made by reliable
experts, the soil of the United States
has been robbed of $4,000 900 worth
of fertility in the last 80 years. The
Loss in farm values has varied in the
different states from $1,000,000 to
$160.000,000, according to the figures
given out by the census bureau. The
question of soil robbery" is not one
for future generations to solve, but for
those of the present day. Rich as is
the United States, it cannot afford to
be robbed of billion dollars in 80

robber isn't stopped he will take two
billions or more in the next 80 years.
Whatever. that micro-organism dis
covered by Russell and Hutchinson
may. look like, however small he may
be, he should be chased out of the
country and off the earth, writes John
A. Rowland in Chicago Tribune. A
step in this direction has already been
taken, even before the announcement
of the discovery. 1t was learned some
time ago that certain bacteria were
generated by the introduction of nj
trates into the soil and that. these bac-
terra were the fertility" of the earth.
Certain plants, such as Ne legumes
were found to be peculiarly adapted to
the culture of these good bacteria"
That Is why alfalfa is being heralded
as a good thing for the farmer to
plant
But the process of raising the fertil-
ity making bacteria by natural process
is rather slow, SO man decided to help
nature along. These bacteria have the
faculty of extracting the nitrogen from
the air and introducing it into the
earth. A process has been invented
by which the nitrogen is artifcially ex-
tracted from the air, formed into a
powder, and the powder used to fer
tflize the soil. This eliminates long
process of natural fertilization. How
ever, if some one can find a way to
prevent the fertility from being eaten
up by the micro-organisr, ne will
make artificial fertilization unneces-
