Anteing the orage, cover area soil- ing 'crops in Canada, one tamily of plants is of special. interest to term- ers, These are the legumes or Le- gurainosae, Whiel. include clover and Vetches, beans and Peen.

Eace kind of crop, whether clover, alfalfa, pea, etc., is greatly benefited by its own partic- i:thee:train of bacteria culture. When these bacteria aro present in the ae,:soli, eXperienee shows that greet& is more vigoroua and earlier development takes place. These fa*. tora are important in Canada.

The process is thuo pre- scribed by a technidal journal: during tho spring and summer 'the leaves have served As factories where the foods necessary for tne trees' growth have been. manufactured. This food making takes place in num- berless link cells of the leaf and is carried -oit by smolt green bodies which give tile leaf its color. These chlor- ophyll bodies, as they are , known, tnate the food of the tree by combin- ing earbon taken from the carbohic acid gas of the air with hydragen, ox- ygen end varidus minerals supplied by the water which the roots gather. In the fall, when the cool weather causes it slowing down of the vital processes, the work of the leaves comes to an end. The machinery of the leaf factory is diernantled, so to opeak, the chlorophyl Is broken up into the various eabstan- ces of which it is ce•mposed, and what-. ever food there is on hand is seut to the body bl the tree to be stored up for 'Use in the spring.
