SEEKING SECRETS OF PLANTS
Experiments Going On to Determine
How Nitrogen 10 Asslmiiated
From the Atmosphere.

There Is reason to hope that the
world may be greatly enriched
through the results Of observations
and experiments to determine just
how certain plants manage to assimi-
late nitrogen from the atmosphere.
II has been discovered that such
plants as peas, beans and clovers have
their roots invaded by myriads OF
minute organisms which may be either
bacteria or parasitic fungi.
These organisms In some unknown
way incite the plants to increased ac-
tivity 80 that they are able to assimi-
late free nitrogen from the atmos-
phere and thereby to supply. through
their own subsequent decay, an abun-
dance Of nitrates, nitrites, ammonia
and other heterogeneous substances to
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 assimilate nitro
gen from the air for the ultimate
enrichment Of the soil.-Washington

While attending recent club
luncheon, he had heard what he con-

something like this:
Two old darkies stopped TO look
at a circus billboard, one OF them
reading aloud that this circus was
'the biggest and best on EARTH" while
the other declared that its claim was
''the biggest and best on earth 'cept
one" and clinched his argument by
pointing to the words "Sept. l." print
ed at the bottom of the poster. (How-
