BACTERIA IN The SOIL
Farmer Owes Immense Debt to
Little Germs.
Water-Logsed Land Becomes Worth
les for Many Purposes Because Of
Inability Of Organisms to De-
veIop Owing to Moisture.

(By DIR. r.. @. PETERSON. Laboratory
of Bacteriology. Utah Agricultural Col
leKe)
The average farmer seldom realizes
to the fullest extent the immense debt
he owes to the bacteria Of the soil.
1t Is very often surprise TO him to
hear that the continued fertility Of the
soil is due almost wholly to these
minute organisms which he never
sees, but which are present In astound-
ing numbers In every handful of soil
on his farm. A soil exceptionally fer
tile Is exceptionally rich In these or
ganisms. A dead, worn out soil Is
one in which the organisms do not
occur. or II they do occur, refuse to
grow. Successful farm practice con.
sists quite largely in supplying condi-
tions in the soil which are favorable
for the growth OF beneficial organisms
and detrimental to the growth Of
harmful organisms.
Cultivation OF the soil Is n method
to supply air to the organisms which
demand air. The application OF Ger.
tain amount OF moisture to the soil is
a benefit in one way because OF the
fact that the bacteria Of tho soil dc.
mand certain amount Of moisture
for their best growth. A soil which be.
comes water.logged becomes worth
less for many purposes because Of the
inability OF the organisms to develop
due TO the overabundanco Of moist.
ure and other secondary Influences.
Tho presence OF too much alkali In a
soil or OF an acid soil Is likewise harm
ful to the development OF the organ
isms.
In other words. the bacteria Of the
soil arc an index to its fertility. and
every farmer, whether he knows II or
not, is a bacteriologist, In that he Is
continually trying TO cultivate these
unseen friends Of his by ordinary farm
methods

ogy Indicate That We are on the eve OF
new era regarding our knowledge Of
soil processes Chemists have dem
onstrated that certain western soils
are immensely fertile due to the pres.
ence In them of exceptionally large
quantities of nitrogen compounds.
Whether this nitrogen enrichment is
largely the result of the action of bac-
terla is n question now before the
bacteriolosists for solution. 1t is
known that in Utah soils especially
and similar western soils there Is n
germ called Azotobactcr which thrives
with remarkable vigor. This germ has
the remarkable power of drawing, di-
rectly, plant food from the air and
storing It in the soil without the aid
of any other plant. Tho mysteries of
Azotobacter are remarkable. 1t some
times can be found In large numbers
in the soil and sometimes seems
about to disappear Exactly what this
variation is due to Is not known, but
undoubtedly much of the mystery sur
rounding soil fertility can be solved
by finding out how these wonderful
gorms act
1t Is n part of every farmers in
formation that such crops as alfalfa.
beans, peas, clover and vetch add re-
markably to the fertility of the soil.
The observant agriculturist knows
also that on the roots of these plants
are small nodules or swellings which
1t has been found are the breeding
| places of bacteria which feed the
plant upon which they live, di-
are absert from the soil the plant In
some cases refuses to develop to its
full vigor. This action of the bac-
terra places in the farmers hands n
weapon for always keeping his soil
at n high point of fertility by the
proper rotation of crops in order to
utilize these powerful germs to his ad.
vantage.
| Bacteriologists are attempting to
discover the exact number Of germs
which are important In soil fertility
maintenance, and further more what
ones are detrimental to the soil. They
hope to be able, ultimately, to dag
nose the soil exactly as we now dag
nose the human body, by finding what
germs are growing in it. They have al
ready devised methods of enrichinp
the soil by growing In the laborator
les bottles full of beneficial organ
