nitrogen cycle in soils" says Professor

resents certain stage in the process of
decomposition, and bears close rela-
tiOn to soil fertility problems. The
chemical reaction, in which ammonia is
one of the end products, depends upon
many factors. Moisture and tempera-
ture of soils, as well as physical and
chemical composition, play an important
part in determining the amount of am
monia produced. Soils that are well
aerated ere favorable to ammonifiea-
tion. Lime is of distinct benefit in acid
and heavy soils, sweetening and light
ening them so that aeration and chem
ical reaction can proceed. 1t may be
said in general that while ammonifica.
tion is necessary and complicated part
of the preparation of plan food in soil
fortunately for the farmer it proceeds
most readily in those soils that are in
good condition for cultivation, so that
is matter that will regulate itself in
soils that are kept in otherwise good
conditions for crop production.

zens aided in spectacular rescues. Many
of those trapped by the flames crashed
through windows and jumped into the
bay, bleeding and with their clothing
afire.
Employees Had Close Call.
Wharfinger Hicoek discovered the
fire and gave the first alarm. Port
Warden Paysee rushed through the
building to call out tenants and with
difficulty made his exit through win.
dow to a ladder. He escaped without
serious injury.
Firemen at enginehouse No. 5, on tae
waterfront, were first on the scene
They arrived just as the gasoline boiler
exploded and were covered by rain
of fire. Lieutenant Carson, Patrick
Cooper, John w. Stokes and other fire
men were seriously injured and stag
gered into the open, where the polio,
took them in charge and sent them Il

Other firemen were hurt during tht
fight with the flames after a genera
alarm was turned in. The fireboat
Snoqualmie and Duwamish nosed il
close to the dock and shot heavy
streams of water with good effect OIL
the blazing mass. Men Of the revenue
cutter Unalga aided and succeeded il
stopping the flames which were eatinl

Vessels Got Move On.
Many vessels moored near the doom
ed building hastily pushed out into tn
bay.
The charred body of one man wa
found in the ruins. He was burne
beyond recognition and was taken t
the morgue where attempts are bein
made to identify him.
The loss will total probably NOR
