 Nitrogen Fron, Atmosphere.
 There has been t.ected at the Unit ed States department of agriculture's 's 
 largest experimental plant in the Unit ed States for the production of nitro- gen from air. The nitrogen so pro- duced IS combined with hydrogen to farm ammOn'a. which can be used in fhe manufacture of explosives and fer tilizers. Experiments with the view of increasing the efficiency of the nroc- esS are now being conducted by the bureau of soils. The Haher process of manufacturing nitrogen is heinz em. 1lOyed. This process involves the pro- ductiOn of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. The two gases are mix ed in the proper proportion, put under high pressure and subjected to intense heat. They are then passed over a spongy iron, whereupon portion of the mixture combines to form am- monia.
