Abstract


The most outstanding recent achievement of science, directly and intimately connected with food production, is the electro-chemical fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. With the aid of electricity it has been possibile to "fix"" atmospheric nitrogen and produce several pro- ducts for fertilising the soil, such as ammonium sulphate, ammonium phosphate, calcium cyanamide and urea. J. 1. Lipman, Director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station gives in a recent number of the 'Journal of the American Society of Agronomy (March 1932) figures for the world's electro-chemical fixation of nitrogen, as shown in the statement.
