ALFALFA GROWING An IMPORT.
ANT FACTOR IN THHE FER
TILlzATIoN OF LAND

The secret Of alfalfa lies in its alb.
flity to feed upon nitrogen from the
air in the soil, and possibly in the at.
mosphere. This element is stored up
IN the protein, which makes alfalfa
sue such a valuable feed This process
also seems to add to the stores of nj.
trogen in the soil available for other
crops, which supply is increased il
the alfalfa is plowed under. The
same is true Of clover, peas and other
legumes. BY plowing them under the
farmer adds to the soil a supply of
nitrogen from the air in |. form which
enables him to raise larger crops.
The use Of artificial cultures Of nj
trogen bacteria upon seed before
planting; also adds to the, power of
the crop from such seed to take nj
ttrogen from, the soil, when conditions
are favorable. s@ .4s
. The foregoing are the only methods
at present, known whereby: farmers farll,e
tl1I through their. crops are able to secure
nitrogen directly from the .atmos.
tphlere, although nearly four-6fthssaof
the air consists tof nitrogen It'usu-
ally have to, supply this most costly
OF all plant food elements in the form
of nitrate Of soda or sulphatez of am
fmonia OR In: waste products. III q all
Of these forms the actual nitrogen
costs the farmer anywhere from 10 to
20 cents per pound. II
Hence Invention is busy trying to
find simple and cheap ways of, artifi-
c;i ccially extracting nitrogen from the
air at a cost SO low that it will under
sell these other natural forms used
for manuring crops. Various patents
are being taken out on such processes,
some pour the nitrogen Of the air
over red-hot calcium carbide, result
ing in cyanamide, which is already on
the market as a fertilizer; Still newer
s F 81 IN I'D
processes catch the nitrogen by cal
cium chloride, or what is still cheap
er, calcium foride. Perhaps the most
interesting patent Is one based upon
a wholly novel method of converting
atmospheric nitrogen into the fixed and
useful form through the metal cal
cium, which is now obtainable at a
com paratively cheap rate by the elec.
trolysis of the fused chloride" The
resulting product is ammonia salts in
commercial form. Another process
makes ammonia by passing the nitro.
gen from the air mixed with steam
over hot turf. Evidently it is only a
question Of a5feW years before inven-
Iion will solve the problem Of artifi-
.cialIy obtaining nitrogen from the air
iat SO low cost as to largely reduce
the. present high prices Of nitrogenous
containing substances, and thus cheap
en- the production Of crops.
