Nemas Use Much
Free Nitrogen
1
Nitrogenous Fertilizers Are
Most Costly Food Farm
ers Must Buy.
(Propone by th* Unites SUtw Department
ot Asrloaltare.i
I Although four-fifths of the atmoo
I phere Is nitrogen, the roost expensive
I of our staple foods ana those contaln
I Ing It and nitrogenous fertilizers are
the meat costly food the farmer must
buy to feed his crops. This apparent
ly paradoxical situation la explained
by tbe fact that this primo necessity
of plant and animal life Is one of tbe
most Inert and Insoluble of gases and
I consequently not easily put Into com
I blued form tor use. The natural
means for accomplishing Its comblna
I tlon, so far as known, aro few, and
the discovery of a new one is there
fore of no small Importance to science
and- to people In general.
Taka in Nitrogen.
Dr. N. A. Cobb of the bureau of
plant Industry. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has observed that
certain nemas—those threadlike or
ganisms _ found widely distributed
throughout the world In soil, water,
I und in plants, animals, and Insects—
seem to have the capacity to take In
raw nitrogen, along with other constit
uents of the air, and combine It with
other materials for their own ose.
1
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria of tbe
soil have long been known to have this
power and some of the very low forms
of plant life, such as certain algae
! and fungi, are thought to have it, but
the nemas observed by Doctor Cobb
are the hfôbest form Of life now
known to make this direct use of at
mospheric nitrogen. He observed that
when these nemas were put in a cul
ture solution they would swarm to the
surface and swallow bubbles of air,
keeping np this gulping for hours at
a time. Watched under a microscope,
I these bubbles are seen to go down the
oesophagus and then to disappear al
most Immediately after entering tbe
Intestines. In a short time these
small organisms would consume sev
eral times their own volume of air
which is four-fifths nitrogen and only
one-fifth oxygen jind other less com
Becsuse of the known
mon gases,
relative Insolubility of nitrogen, the
plain conclusion Is that these annas
combine it and make use of it tn their
Internal economy. Another fact that
makes this conclusion seem correct Is
that they do this "air feeding" much
more In a culture that la practically
free of nitrogen.
Discover Organisms.
The possibilities for new knowledge
regarding plant and animal nutrition
and the keeping up of soil fertility
are Incalculable In view of this dls
[ covery and others which may be made
In the same direction, thinks Doctor
Cobb. Already several thousand soil
organisms are known, but the activ
ities of only a very few are under
stood. Because of the rate at which
new organisms are being discovered
In this field. It Is reasonable to be
lieve that there are many thousands
yet to be discovered and studied.
When they are found and the scien
tists have learned what they do. It Is
reasonable to believe that many of our
present methods of handling the soil
and crops and, perhaps, animals, may
undergo profound changes.
The nitrogen-consuming nemas • stim
ulate interesting speculations.

This fact must be taken Into consider^

coastline as much milk aa a large calf,

All Over Country
Field Workers Are Kept In
formed by Monthly Survey.
(Pr*par*a fcr tka Deltas atmtm ~ i , | .
ot AarlaaKan )
One mean« by which the barons ot
entomology of the United Stete« De
partment of Agriculture keeps Its ma «y
field workers Informed as to Insect pest
conditions «11 orer the country Is by
issuing a monthly survey based on de
tailed reports from the several gratae
and from the Dominion of
whlch has a similar servie* itte
operation of the entomologists In the
various states tn supplying data on the
general and unusual Insect conditions
In seeb region Is now so well organised
that the survey is In ■ position to
port at any time on the entomological
situation prevailing In any part of the
United States and Canada. This co
operative agreement with Canada is
especially useful In the case of peats
which may be Just over the border,
against which preventive steps may be
taken.
co
In recognition of the survey's posi
tion It has been requested to partici
pate In tbe meetings of the crop esti
mate board, to serve that board fe an
advisory capacity on the status of in
sect pests affecting the crops upon
which this board issues estimates,
Tbe survey has been in existence
nearly four years. One of Its functions
has been the preparation of an Index
of common name« applied to insects
in this country.
5 eat Fertilizing Value
la Not Yet Understood
B««ry little while a question arises
as to the fertilising value of peat
This Is a natural question, becwuoe
tbe many peat deposits throughout
northern sections of tbe country show
a high content of nitrogen. Often It
Is claimed that this nitrogen In peat
Is comparable with nitrogen in com
mercial fertiliser.
Peat has often been used as a filler
tor low-grade fertilisers, and as a
means of making a high analysis of
nitrogen Which Is not really Justified.
The nitrogen content of peat has a
very low availability, and any one who
expects the value ot this nitrogen to
compare with the value of nitrogen In
commercial fertilizers, la certain to w e
disappointed.
Peat lands may often be utilised to
very good advantage by applying pot
ash, which balances up the fertility
sufficiently to produce a crop. Some
very striking results have been
achieved In northern Illinois by this
treatment.
Saving Frosted Combs
Breeding males whose combs have
been slightly frostbitten may be treat
ed so that they will recover In a short
time. Place the birds In a fairly cool
room and treat them Individually with
a mixture made as follows: Heat five
tablespoonfuls of grease until it be
comes liquefied. Then stir in two ta
blespoonfuls of glycerin and a table
spoonful of turpentine. Apply once or
twice a day. If the Injury has been
severe It will be best to cut off the en
tire comb, being careful to sear the cut
part with a hot Iron to prevent great
loss of blood.
Cow for Producing Milk
Pure bred animals possess 100 per
cent of the blood of their respective
breed. Grade animals have a pre
dominance of the blood of a given
breed but less titan 100 per cent, and
they are usually by pure bred sires
and out of native or grade cows. The
better « cow Is bred .the greater In
surance you have against disappoint
ment when you buy or keep a cow for
milk production. Purity of breeding,
furthermore, tends to Insure excellence
of type.

More Than Waiter
Would Stand For
Ludwig Klelnwachter, Austrian con
sul to Chicago, said at a recent ban
quet :
'Tn prewar days, when France's sil
ver coinage was simply rampant witk
counterfeits, a foreigner çontd hardly
make a purchase without getting s
handful of silver coins In change, all
of them bad.
''An Austrian .one day. after lunch
ing at a Monte Carlo restaurant
started off to get his coffee at the
Cafe de Paris when his waiter rashes
down the street after him, yelling:
" Thief, rascal. I'll have you
pinched.'
•' 'What's the matter yvith you?' said
the astonished Austrian.
" 'You miserable thief,' roared the
waiter. That bad two-franc piece that
I gave you In change you actually had
the nerve to give me buck as a tip.' "
Veracity Is the heart of morality.
