LUPTON, CHEMIST.] In estimating the value of commercial fertilizers, phosphoric acid, potash, and nitrogen are the only constituents taken into consideration. Of course, these are no more necessary for the,growth of vegetation than other elements which enter into the composition of plants, but as they are more generally deficient in soils, especially after long continued cultivation, this deficiency must be supplied in order to produce abundant crops. The bones of animals, both recent and fossil, with the immense deposits of phosphatic material found in this and other countries, have furnished the farmer a good supply of phosphoric acid at a reasonable price. The natural sources of potash have also been sufficient to keep the cost of this element within moderate bounds. The supply of nitrogen, however, is not so abundant, and hence it maintains a high value in the commercial world. In addition to this, nitrogenous materials very readily undergo decomposition, and the gaseous nitrogen passes into the atmosphere. Its chief sources as a fertilizer, are blood, tankage, fish scrap, cotton seed, cotton seed meal, animal manure, the salts of ammonia from gas works, and sodium nitrate, or Chili saltpetre. While about four-fifths of the atmosphere consists of nitrogen, this immense supply is virtually useless as a fertilizer. It must be in a state of chemical combination, as it appears from the most reliable investigations, before plants can use it. How this combination is brought about in the ordinary growth of vegetation, is an interesting question. . The passage of electricity through the air is known to cause the union of minute quantities of nitrogen and oxygen, and some low organisms, called microbes, found on the roots of plants, are believed to change this element into 55 4 a form suitable for use by the plant, but whether atmospheric nitrogen, under any circumstances, contributes directly to the nutrition of plants is a disputed question. THE SOURCES OF THE NITROGEN OF YEGETATION. The question of the supply of nitrogen to vegetation, says a recent writer in the Chemical News, is one of the utmost importance, not merely from a theoretical, but from a practical point of view. Put ina slightly different form, it means, are we, as far as the nitrogenous constituents of our frames are concerned, living on the earth's income, or, as in the case of coal, on its capital ? Do plants denend for their growth on the combined nitrogen present in the soil and sub-soil, supplied by manures and by the decomposing remnants of defunct organisms, or brought down by the rain in the form of ammonia or nitric acid? Or, are they able to fix in their tissues, directly or indirectly, any portion of the unlimited store of free nitrogen existing in the atmosphere ? Such fixation might conceivably take place in various ways; by the direct oxidation of the plant, by the mediation of fungi or microbes, by some reaction of constituents of the soil, by the silent electrical discharge, etc. The ablest scientific and practical investigators in the field of agricultural science have been studying this question for years past, but it must be confessed, results are not concordant. Some conclude from numerous experiments, that certain soils have the power, under peculiar circumstances, to fix free nitrogen; that is, to cause it to enter into chemical combination ahd serve as plant food; others like Berthelot, the distinguished French chemist, and the German chemists, Hellriegel and Willfarth, believe that free nitrogen requires the influence of living organisms, or microbes, which are found on the roots of some plants, to bring it into organic combination, while Boussingault is quoted in an article in the Chemical News, above referred to, as saying : "If there is in physiology a fact perfectly demonstrated it is the non-assimilability of free nitrogen of plants, even those of an inferior order, such as mycoderms and fungi." 56 Thus we see how, different are the conclusions of the most skillful experimenters in this difficult field of investigation. PLANTS AS COLLECTORS OF NITROGEN. Whatever views may be held in regard to the relation of atmospheric nitrogen to the nutrition of plants, every educated farmer knows that certain crops collect this important element from some source and accumulate it in the soil. Prof. Wagner, Director of the Agricultural Research Station near Darmstadt, Germany, in a recent publication, divides plants into nitrogen-collectors and nitrogen-consumers. He concludes from many carefully conducted experiments that the nitrogen-collectors-peas, clover, lucerne, and leguminous plants generally-have the power to fix atmospheric nitrogen and by accumulating it in the soil, add to the capital of the farm, while cereals, grass, potatoes, turnips, tobacco, corn, cotton, etc, as nitrogen-consumers, have no such power, but take up from the soil, in the form of nitrogenous salts, all the nitrogen contained in the crop. THE VALUE OF PEA VINES AS A FERTILIZER. Pea vines and clover are universally recognized as enrichers of the soil, and are grown to some extent for purposes of fertilization. With a view of encouraging the growth of these valu.,ble plants, especially of peas, and of answering some important questions, an investigation was undertaken a few months ago, to determine the real value of pea vines as a fertilizer, and the relative value of vines and roots. With the aid of Dr. J. T. Anderson, assistant chemist in the State Laboratory, some interesting results have been obtained. Several chemists have investigated the composition and value of roots, among whom may be mentioned Dr. Walker in England, Dr. Weiske in Germany, and Dr. Atwater in this country; but I have found no presentation of the comparative value of the vines and roots as fertilizers. To determine this question, four samples were taken October, 1889, from a crop raised on the experiment farm, as follows: Sample A was taken from a space one 57 yard square.. The vines were carefully cut, leaving the usual amount of stubble with the roots. A trench was dug around this square yard to a depth of several feet, and the earth washed away by a stream of water from a suitable hose. The roots were collected as completely as possible. Samples B, C and D were from a cubic foot each, selected at random in the patch, the earth was removed entirely, dried, and then carefully sifted from the roots. Care was taken to secure, as far as possible, all fibres, however small. It was found that in this soil, a sandy loam with sandy sub-soil, the roots were virtually all included in the first foot in depth. Vines and roots with stubble attached were air dried, and weighed with the following results: Weights Expressed in Grams. ................. Weight of vines..:....

The following table gives these results, and for comparison, the percentage of nitrogen in green vines is also given as previously obtained: Percentage of Nitrogen. (1) Green vines collected in October ......... 2.62 (2) 1.73 (3) 1.45 (4) 1.45 Dry vines collected in December......... Dry vines collected in January............ 0.81 0.66 0.88 0.72 .... .... 0.66 0.70 The leaves had mostly disappeared from the dry vines, and such changes had taken place by atmospheric agencies, that it was impossible to institute, with any degree of exactness, a comparison between the weight of green vines on 59 a given area, air dried in the Laboratory, and the weight of same when dried in the field and gathered in December and January. The shrinkage from loss of moisture and decomposition by atmosperic agencies would, however, greatly increase the relative loss of nitrogen as exhibited in the above table. CONCLUSIONS. It is evident that much of the nitrogen collected by pea vines is lost when the crop is left exposed on the soil where it grew. No experiments have been made to test the view of those who hold that more or less of this nitrogen becomes oxidyzed and passes into the soil as nitrate. The gaseous condition of nitrogen, ammonia, and other compounds of this element which result from the decomposition of organic substances, renders it, however, more than probable that the nitrogen escapes into the air. Many of our best agriculturists, however, condemn the practice of turning under the pea vines while green, in our climate, unless some other crop is to follow immediately, believing that the saving of nitrogen contained in the vines will not compensate for the loss produced by the exposure of the ploughed land to atmospheric agencies during the fall and winter. An excellent plan would be to use the vines as a feed stuff, preserve the manure, and return it to the soil just before the time of planting. The following conclusions are di awn from these results: 1. Pea vines contain a large percentage of phosphorio acid, potash and nitrogen, the three valuable constituents of commercial fertilizers, and are especially rich in nitrogen, which they accumulate directly or indirectly from the atmosphere and furnish as a fertilizer to other crops. 2. In these experiments'the vines weigh about six times as much as the roots, and are about eight and a third times as valuable as a fertilizer, calculating their value on the basis of valuations used in Alabama for commercial fertilizers. 3. The vines lose a large percentage of their nitrogen when left on the ground during the fall and winter months. 60 9 No. 1519.
