SEEKING SECRETS OF PLANTS
How Nitrogen ls Aesimilated
From the Atmosphere.

There is reason to hope that the
world may be greatly enriched
through the results of observations
and experiments to determine jusi
how certain plants manage to assimi-
late nitrogen from the atmosphere
II has been discovered that such
plants us peas. beans and clovers have
their roots invaded by myrlads of
minute organisms which may be either
bacteria or parasitic fungi.
These organisms in some unknown
way lncite the plants to increased ac
tivIty so that they are able to assiml
late free nitrogen from the atmos
phere and thereby to supply, througi
their own subsequent decay, an abun-
dance of nitrates, nitrites ammoni;
and other heterogeneous substances L"
the soil.
Efforts have been made to deter
mine whether some other stimulus be-
sides that furnished by the organisms
referred to may not be supplied to
plants which will enable them still
more effectually to assimllate nitro
gen from the air for the ultimate
enrichment of the soil.-Wasllngton
