Hsllriegel at Bern berg, Germany, have thrown a flood of light upon the subject. The discovery has there been made of adefi- nite relation subsisting between certain microorganisms and tlio acquisition of nitrogen by legumes. skillfully By a series of caretulty planned and oxeent- ec! tests with sterilised sand, Prof. Hell- riegel lias established almost beyond question that the rootg.allj or tubercles affecting the roots of tho legume fami- l.v aro the product of microbes or bacte- na, through whose instrumentality and operation atmosphm; uiiivgeu is ac- quired mul stored. This function of tue microorganisms forming the root- galls is beyond dispute, whether these or-.vauisms are bact.-ria or not. Their mode of obtaining .md transferring the nitrogen, however, is ns yet unrevealed. The fact has been definitely estab- hsiied, six', by tiie tests alluded to. that wherever these bacteria or mi- evobes are present-a.nl they exist in nearly all cultivated seil-the legume is practically independent of a supply of mtrogeii, either in the soil or adminis- teredos a piannro. In sterilized sand (supplied, oi course, with all the other the young ^ plant ^ will e«eyt germinate nitrogen, ana grow vig. t-ously mini it has exhausted all of tig; nitrogen in the seed, when the growth la checked or smpen'led for nwliuu until t!;C rootga'ls or tu>u roles have nn opportunity lo form, mri too microorganisms begin to gel in tlio.r Wi rlt, win'll the plant at once coni- indices to change color, ami again giv >'4 vigorously to maturity, even lie.vt where the sand is sterilized by a of lilS dcrrios K.

This misconception, however, has now beeu quits t'ff^crunlly coiToctod by observations and experiments conduct- ed by both tlio Connecticut (Stoirs)cx- perimeut station nad the Georgia ex- pcriuieut station. The former station has shown that a much larger propor- tioa of nitrogen than was at first sup- posed is contained in tiie roots and stubble, and that the vinos may be ns- for forage with economy, provided tho stubble is plowed under. *****>** This being the case, the mission of the covvpea broadens, and its value and importance increase the proportionally, head of all That it stands today at south south soil soil renovators—at renovators—at least least for for the the —is beyond question. Its preeminence over clover and other legumes is due mainly to the fact that it will grow anil thrive on the poorest soils, which clover will not do. When laud at the south will grow clover successfully it doesn’t need renovation; it is the worn out, thin, galled laud, of course, that most requires manuring. Clover would --- undoubtedly J —*— build !| j -- up such land if it could he induced to grow there, but it will not grow there. Cowpeas wi 1. 1 .
