Fertilizing with Electricity

Mr. Nikola Tesla, the electrical expert and inventor, has recently suggested the possibility of employing electricity as a fertilizing agent for the soil. The currents produced by perfected electrical oscillators, he says, are capable of causing the chemical combination of the nitrogen with the oxygen of the atmosphere. If this combination were carried on upon an industrial scale, which he thinks is possible, then the product could be used as a fertilizer, and in his opinion the benefits to humanity would be incalculable.
