The October Century contains j
;l11 article, written by Gilbert II. I
Grosvenor telling of a very re- | 1
markable discovery in scientific!
agriculture—a discovery of the
greatest possible benefit to the
farmers of the world and through
l hem to humanity at large. It re¬
lates to the inoculation of the
ground. Mr. Grosvenor says that
since the time of Pliny fann¬
ers have noticed that after a < ' ro ' )
' f ])hhs. alfalfa or any of thrf !eg-
plants, heavier yield of
a heat can be obtained, and it was
. upon this demonstration thut the
j old rule of rotation of crops was
j based. But wl.y certa.n plants en-
! rich the ground and why some
haost. it. all the while remained a
i mystery, until a German
j at fords a pariiiil solution. He
vrdoped llm Hieory that ullulfa,
peua beans and clover absorbed
mofo nitrogen 11;an they could uso
and 1 ifft tins surplus in tho soil,
"liile coni and wheat and other
grains gave back nothing*. lhnv
this came about was the problem
to winch I'rof, Nohhu addressed
lie exit mil led 11.0 1\joU
ol the legiiniilu'UH plants nin*
toned that thev had upon then
nodules from the size ot a pinliem
to clusters as large as a good SIZ 1 '!
potato. •111 I'M’ nodules, under
microscepie invest Igill lull, w ere
seen to lie ii||..|| witli minions ■d
bacteria w Inch were incessant l\
ahsoroing tree nitrogi.n from the
!MI and convert ing into forms suit-
a 11 !*‘ I" 1 ’ the plant, s digestion. If
ile i. lop. there C’ uld lie such eul-
Ovation ol the plants ns to mcrese
t'.e noduh s, the advantage to the,
soil would be. very great and bar-
t’en lands made proliho by tho ah-
sorption lrem tli air itself ol ni-
Gi'geii, onlines true f * * r l ilizer.
Alter much labor he succeeded
isolating the nitrogen-fixing
bacteria mid breeding and colonise-
them. There was demand lip- |
on him from ail parts of the world |
and he sold the bacteria in bottles.
But while some farmers attain¬
ed a fair degree of success, the
majority failed and Prof. Nobby
w ith drew the “nitvngiu ' 5 from
the market. The trouble was he
had not been a'do to give them
permanence. And so the discov-
was about, to Income value-
less.
But Dr. George ‘J’. Moore, in
charge of the la horn tor y of plant,
physiology of the department of
agriculture had watched Dr,
Nobb’sexperiments with, the keen¬
est interest, and react.ed (lie con¬
clusion that tho German had not
adopted the right, method of cul¬
tivating his nitrogen-fixing hacte-
mi in the right wav. lie held that
|\*olibi> foil them too liign on nitro-
gen-food, the result being that
they became dull and inactive,
flu determined to put tln-m on
-uc!i short rations (hat they would
have to limit tor nitrogen them- j
-elves and take it out of the air.
I’he result of tins ex peri mentation
was wouderlul. He developed n
permanent type of bacteria in his
iabatory, possessing five or tm
times more power to fix fr nit lo¬
gon than tlie original germs pos¬
sessed. Legumes inoculated with
Moore’s bacteria developed great
tubercles and grew to great size
oven in (he poorest soil. The Cen¬
tury's photographic comparitive
illustration show tho marvelous
result. The nitfogen-fixing power
.is, as Air. Crnsve.'ior says, so ex¬
traordinary that seeds soaked in
the solution will sprout and pro¬
duce luxurious plants in quartz
sand which lias previously been
ignited ■ to red heat in order to
drive out all nitrates.
The next question before AH.
Monro was to devise a simple
method of (listribution among the
farmers who might desire to inoc¬
ulate (heir land. This he had
reached by the uso of cotton, a
small piv.ee of which wili soak up
millions of bacteria, and after be¬
coming dry, tan bo sent to any
part of the world ard yet arrive
in perfect condition. As this was
Dr. Moore’s inventitm he had the
right to pat mi t it. This ho did
promptly and the patent was is¬
sued. No souierdid he receive it
than he denied it to the depart¬
ment of agriculture, to lie field iii
trust for the benefit of tlio wind
people—a philanthropic net of (lie
noblest character. The Octobei
Century's account embraces nil
the di.notions for tho use of the
inoculating innteilal. Different
cultures are sent for different
crops. It requires no trained
scientist to apply it S >m« of the
experiments have I on amazing in
their result. Cotton planted after
1,n inoculated crop ot red clover
increase,] 40 per cent; wheat 40
per cent, ; outs 500 per cent. ; rye
400 per cent.
The Telegraph has only sum¬
marized the article. It should be
read by every farmer who owns
impoverished land. The gover-
ment guarantees the material. In
the case of a Maryland farmer the
income from lie; farmer \v a s Z
crenw.jd fi ,„ .. ............ it
'ho govern.-mt to help him "as H
cents. The farmer had used only
j two of the little “cakes to inocu-
latlJ se , !(U for W!V ,. n acres.—
