The practice of green manuring, or
blowing under of certain green crops
especially for this purpose, Is one of
the oldest systems Of fertilization at
present in use, though in this section
only n or two particular crops have
been utilized for this purpose. While
It has been long known that the cow
pea and many other leguminous plants
possessed in a most marked degree
the capacity of collecting and as
Stimulating large quantities Of the chief
fertilizing constituents, and particular
ly, nitrogen, nothing has been def
nitely known as to the causes under
lying their remarkable properties as
nitrogen collectors until within quite
recent years.
The amounts Of nitrogen assimi-
lated by the pea and similar plants on
rather unfertile soils were frequently
&C greatly out of proportion to the
available supplies of nitrogen In
these soils, that investigators had for
years sought to determine whether or
not these plants possessed the power
of assimilating the free nitrogen of
the atmosphere. The researches and
experiments Of a number of German
Investigators, extending over a long
period Of years, have shown that
leguminous plants are capable of TAX.
ing up and assimilating the nitrogen
of the atmosphere, and this property
Is known to depend upon the pres.
ence of bacteria or minute micro
scopic forms Of life, which are found
In tubercles or e~xcresences occurring
quite ~profusely upon the roots OF
thrifty and vigorous plakts, and
plants Of this character.
Certain particular bacteria are
found to be peculiar to certain spe.
cifc plants, and plants grown in q
soil destitute of the organism peculiar
to them are observed to have few II
any root tubercles.
BY adding to the soil in question
small amounts Of soil from land or
which similar plants are observed tc
develop root tubercles, 1t will be
found that the plants grown on the
former soil will also soon have tuber
cles grown upon their roots, and al
the same time, the growth Of the
plant becomes vigorous and rapid.
Since nitrogen Is the costliest ele
ment of plant food and is constantly

MILLIONS INVOLVED IN LAItG-
EST OIL DEAL IN MANY
YEARS.
FOREIGN MONEY Interested
Headquarters OF Second LarScs
Company in the World 10 BE
In Tulsa.
BY w, III, PECk.)

The most important deal in oil
property that has been pulled off
since the organization of the Central
Fuel company is now so far along as
to be practically beyond a point where
any possible mischance can occur to
prevent its final consummation.
1t is the purchase by NJ. S. Abra-
hams and Richmond Levering, repre-
senting the Asiatic Oil company and
allied foreign interests, who are the
strongest oil company in the world,
other than the Standard Oil company,
Of the Bell property, consisting of
the Signal Oil company, the Stand
ard Oil and Gas company, the King
Bell Oil company and the recently de-
veloped property in the Adair pool,
west of Nowata, and numerous other
oil properties, both developed and un-
developed. No price has been an
nounced but it is reported to be sew
eral million dollars.
Tulsa is to be the headquarters for
the new concern, who have opened Of
fices on the top floor of the new Rob
lnson office building and who have
men now on the way to take charge
Of the property and to look after the
business end of the concern. 1t will
be news to the oil men here that r.
II. Gibson has been elected president
of the Indian Refining company and
Mr.. Levering has been elected pres
ident Of the board of directors Of
that corporation and also of the new
concern, which is making its invest
ment here. but who will leave for
London soon.
Among the officers who will have
! charge here is Mr.. Andrews who has
been manager of the Bridgeport oil
company, which is the producing end
of the Indian Refining company
whose headquarters is at Lawrence
! Vile. That the deal will add great
ly to Tulsas prosperity goes without
saying. as heretofore the officers OF
the Bell concerns have been in Bar
tlesville and at Pittsburgh, Pa, but
as the railroad facilities from here far
excel other towns in the oil belt Tul-
sa has been chosen.
Percy Mcconnell who has engineer
ed the sale Of these properties ant
who is in a fair way to make nice
commission on the transaction ha!
worked hard for the last year tC
bring it about and deserves grea
credit.
The new concern which has no
yet been named, can be depended or
to build up a strong organization ant
ar. likely to furnish new marketinl
! facilities and to handle oil othel
than their own. They are the own
ers Of refineries at Lawrenceville, a
Georgetown. KY. at East st. Loul
and New Orleans and are therefore II
a position to handle oil at the great
est possible profit to themselves ant
should furnish market for othe
peoples oil as soon as they perfec
