Another nitrogen fertilizer. nitrate of
soda or Chhe saltpeter. which has
been secured from ancient deposits OF
guano. is fast being exhausted, not
only By farm demands, but by the de-
mand for gunpowder. We must there
fore look elsewhere for nitrogen to
nourlsh plants. for soon the supply Of
natural nitrogen fertilizers win fall
short OF the demand. says Harper's
Weekly.
Now, certain plants have the proper
ty OF absorbing nitrogen from the at
mosphere through the medium Of mil
Hons Of bacteria which gather the free
nitrogen from the afr. and this nitro
gen can be used In place Of expensive
commercial fertilizers. The most bene-
fcial nitrogen gathering bacteria form
excrescences called "nodules" on the
roots Of certain plants Of the pod
bearing family. These plants are cali
ed legumes and include elovers, peas,
beans. alfalfa, peanuts. etc. These
bacteria have one function only 10 per-
form-tbey form a copartnership with
the plant to supply it with nitrogen.
They gather 10 great numbers on the
roots OF legumes. forming nodules,
which are large colonies Of bacteria
stored with nitrogen. In exchange for
sugar food which the legumes give the
bacteria and on which they thrive the
bacteria gather nitrogen from the air
and feed ii to the plants as desired.
The plant by giving per cent OF sugar
receives 81 per cent Of nitrogen from
the bacteria. When roots Of legumes
die In the ground the nitrogen which
the bacteria have already gathered and
stored in these little punches or nodules
on the roots is given TO the soil. which
is then rich In nitrogen. When the
next crop is planted In that soil, no
matter what crop it may be. nitrogen
Is there-the more nodules the more
nitrogen. Therefore it is TO the farm
er's advantage, to the advantage Of the
world, 10 encourage the increase Ia
growth OF these nodules.
The more nodules that are formed on
the roots the more nitrogen Is fed to
the plant, and this makes the plant
grow more healthIly, makes the foliage
deeper IN color, more abundant and OF
greater food value. the roots stronger
and longer and the stalks taller and
sturdier
Experiments in transferring nitrogen
rich soil from some sections Of the
country where these bacteria flourish
TO new localities. to mix with worked
out soil. have been made Sometimes
the experiment is successful. More Of
ten. however, some harmful ingredient
Of the soil is also spread to the new
soil The only safe way is TO apply
healthy bacteria direct to the seeds Of
the crop before planting-to inocuiate
the seeds with bacteria which viii
gather nitrogen from the air to feed
to the growing roots.
When every farmer whose soil lacks
nitrogen employs the aid Of bacteria
there win be a wonderful increase in
size and weight Of crops; there win be
wonderful increase in the protein
value Of food for cattle. which win
make for increased food value for
man.
