Tiny Organism Found to Maintain
Nitrogen Content in Wheat Land
M ANH A TTAK, Kan. CA11) The
discorery that a tiny organism in
capable of maintaining a constant
upply of nitrogen In wheat land
may awuro a well-filled bread bas
ket for the world indefinite!)-,
Experiments of two investigators
of the Kansas Scute Agricultural
college have brought definite evi
dence that this minute microbe,
hlch thrlrca In wheat soil, should
prevent any eventual exhaustion of
pltrogen viuillly in land devoted to
wheat.
The research of Ur. Percy iM
Galney, bacteriologist, and lr. Mul
colm C. Sewell. ngronomin. is con
sidered a significant point Jn favor
of continuous wheat crops on the
same hind, a practice generally dis
approved. ,
Known as azotobacter. hia or
ganism Is found o small that &0t,
000.000 of them live in one ounce
Of soIL
i As wheat takes nitrogen from
the land, the microbe replace it
at an estimated annual rate of 4o
pound to an acre. That is approx
imate )y the quantity removed by
a w heat crop.
TVsts in ev-eral plots, whose soil
was analyzed lu years ago, have
ehown their niiropn content un-chiinkt-d
despite a fl-cade of con
tinuous wheat culture. The prts
ence of azutobacier in that soil.
Jr. Oafney and Lr. Sewell are con
vinced, was responsible for the re
placement of nitrogen.
The microbe, thy have found,
becomes active as soon us kti! is
reduced in nitrogen content, tak
ing a fresh supply from th air lis
do bacteria um-J in living nitrogen
in ioils planted to legumes.
However, they have learned that
azotobacter exist on the smallest
possible expenditure of energy,
maintaining nitrogen at its original
level, and no more.
