 TR0GEN IN THE SOIL
Experimental Station Bacteriolog st Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From Air For Deposit in Soil.

It Is a well known fact that either fields or unbroien land allowed to run without tillage will gradually increase Tn nltrates, sometimes as much as twenty-five to thirty percent For a number of years this was 8 matter of much discussion and was explained in various ways. However, it was final. ly discovered that this was the work or bacteria and that these bacteria take free nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant food in the soil. This process Is called nitrogen fixa- tion.'
 Process of Fixation.
 There is another process of fxa- ton which must be distinguished from the process just mentioned and that Is the process which takes place in the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants. Both of these processes of fix. at1on are brought about by bacteria but the organisms which cause them are entirely different The bacteria which work in the nodules will not fix nitrogen in the soil while those which work in the soil will not fix nitrogen in the nodules of legumes.
 Bacteria as Aid.
 The bacteria which fix free nitro gen in the soil are capable of doing their work quite rapidly. It has been demonstrated quite conclusively that they are able to fix considerable amounts of nitrogen in as short a time as 10 days or two weeks when all of the controlling factors are favorable. Only part of the factors which con. trol their work have been determined. but some of the more important ones are known. Probably one of the more important of these factors is the ad- dition of lime to the soil as 1t seems that lime is great help to these or ganisms in carrying on their work. They usually work in the first foot of soil or in that part which is reached by the blow, but as previously stated they may also work in soil that has never been titled
 Value of Bacteria.
 The value of their work can hard ly be estimated in dollars and cents for they work almost the entire wear storing up in the soil this most cost ly Of plant food, while at the same time they are practically unaided in their work and do not cost the farmer one cent

ANNUAL MEETING OF AMERICAN
 PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un-
 selfish Service to Agriculture.
By Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will hold its annual convention in Lincoln Nebraska, on September seventh, and will round out the eleventh year of It's activities tn the interest of the American plowman When that con- vention is called to order every farm CT in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gath cred there to render a patriotic and unselfish service to agriculture. That organization, born in the cotton fields Of Texas, has grown until geograph- IcaIly 1t covers almost the whole of the United States and economically 1t deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who bare their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money. diversifcation, scientific pro- duction, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and cooperation in season and out.
 The Farmers Educational and Co., operative Union of America brings the question of organization squarely before every farmer in this nation. Without organization the farmers can neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through organization and systematic effort all things are possible.
 The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from government than any other class of business. They have better securities and pay a higher rate of interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have less to say in fixing the price than any other business and they get more political buncombe and less construc- tive legislation than any other class of people. The farmers can only ac- quire such influence in business. in government and in economics as will enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organiza- t1on and every farmer on American soil who desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union.

AS a result, p0IITical agitatOrs, polit- ical lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, in- tolerance and mysteries run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misun- derstanding envelops public thought 1t breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understand ing will choke to death.
 We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are in- capable of grasping the fundamental princlples of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No busi- ness can stand upon error and might rules-right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a Kings sword.
 When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak, for dema- gogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife.
 The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman-the political gossip-and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talk Ing 1t over with the people. Inter- change of information between indus tries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public under stands.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SlLAGE
Various Methods That May Be Used
 With Success in Arkansas


 Corn should be harvested for silage when in the denting or glazing stage. Sorghums should be allowed to grow until the seed is perfectly ma. ture.
 Harvest with corn binder as bun. dies are the most convenient to handle
 Have plenty of power and labor go that the filling can be done rapidly. as it is more economical to run at full capacity.
 Mince the Forage.
 Chop the forage in lengths not to exceed one-half to threequarters inches in length. They pack more closely and therefore exclude air mora effectively.
 Distribute the light and heavy par ticles uniformly over the surface of the silo to insure even settling. Keep the surface in the silo saucer shaped with the high side next to the walls
 Tramp the entire surface thorough. ly, but more specially around the walls.
 Use Plenty of Water. If the crop has been frosted or rather mature add plenty of water. Do not be afraid of adding too much but avoid adding too little.
 Running water into the blower of the cutter Is the best way to add wa. ter as 1t is then evenly distributed. Snap the ears out of the last two or three loads of corn to save the grain When reflling on old silage, remove all spoiled silage before putting in new.
 Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp. ing and soaking the top of the silage for several days after filing and allow ing the silo to seal itself
 If your silo was air and water tight at the beginning yoN will have good silage. H. E. Dvorachek, Animal Husband. man,

Beer Kegs in Kansas.

Beer kegs we read, were used as ad- ditional wheels to bouy up Kansas moving machines in muddy fields, and thus saved the wheat crop. What we want to know is how came the beer kegs in Kansas ?-State Journal, Ian sing.
 It has been mystery to the city folks how beer kegs could facilitate the garnering of grain, ever since the news came out that the farmers were communicating all available kegs to attach to grain binders in the fields. The process is explained by cores pendent to the Fl Dorado Republican. He says the principle is the same as the ear of corn on stick, held just in front of mules nose.

IMPORTS
increase VASTLY
Manufacture of War Supplies Ac-
counts Chiefly For Heavy
Decrease of Exports

LONDON, August 1O.-Board of
trade statistics of the foreign trade of
Great Britain for the month of July
show that the value of the imports
increased $50 ,85s,3l5 over the CORES
popding month last year, the last month
before the declaration Of war.
The increase in imports as a whole
is quoted as an answer to the sub
marine blockade, of the British coast
and. the decline in imports from the
Continent is set over against big
gain in imports from America. Says
the Morning Post: ...
1.-THE decrease in value of imports
from Germany and Austria, which was
inevitable, as we'll as from our allies,
France and Belgium, Is counter bal
aneed by the Increase in value of our
imports from AMERICA
There has been q heavy decrease in
exports, due to the activities Of the
manufacturers in turning out supplies
for the army and navy in preference
10 manufacturing goods for export, and
also due in part to the closing of the
German, Austrian and Turkish markets
to British manufactures and raw mate,
rails. The decrease, compared with the
total value Of the exports for July
1914, is $I7a,6O7, 555. .-
The average monthly foreign trade
of Great Britain has been: Imports,
$500, OoO, 900; exports, 100000.
