Agriculture, Toronto.).
EGUMINOUS .crops, such as
alfalfa, clover, peas, beans,
vetches, etc., stave long been
known, under certain condi-
tions, to leave the land on,. which.
they were grown in a richer cone
dition than it was he before the erop.
The necessary conditions are, in addi-
tion to the soil being in good tilth
and well drained, that there should
be In the so' certain species of bac-
teria ltnowu as Legume Bacteria.
These legume bacteria penetrate the
Peeing roots of the legumes where
they produce little swellings or no-
dules, singly or in bunches, On
Clovers these nodules are very small
but numerous, while on peas and
beans they are comparatively large
and few in number. The bacteria in
these nodules fix the free nitrogen
of the atmosphere so that the plant
can use it as food. Without the aid
of the bacteria the plants cannot do
this and no crops other than the
legumes can do it, even with the bac
teria present in the soil.
On old soils, or where clovers or
other legumes are successfully grown
in crop rotation, the bacteria are us-
ually present, in new soils, however,
or when new legume crops, as al-
falfa, are grown in old soil, the
appropriate bacteria are apt not to b:'
present and in such cases some meth -
04 of .inoculation should be adopted
to supply the bacteria. Numerous
experiments :. id prolonged exper-
ience have shown that the best way
to do this is to inoculate the seed
with the neeesaary bacteria.
For suchse: e inoculation, artifi-
cially grown cultures of the bacteria
originally secured from the nottules
an the roots of rite same species of
plana which is to be sown, are ap-
plied to the sero :;portly before it is
sown. By this method the bacteria
are carried into the soil with th.•
seed, and in ample numbers to pre...
tically insure infection of the roots,
with consequent increased growth ur
the crop.

blanks were sent to those farmers
who received cultures, on which they

time 27,750 cultures were sent out,
and reports received showeu that SU

clover gave increased returns follow-
ing seed inoculation,
The cultures for inoculating send
are grown in the Bacteriological Lab-
oratory an a specially prepared "cul-
ture medium" and each one contains
a sufficient number of bacteria to in-
oculate a bushel of seed.
For inoculating the seed, the cul-
ture is simply nixed with a little
skim -milk, ai wL y, or whole milk,
then inixed thoroughly with the seed,
which is allowed to (Ivy u few min-
utes and sown in the natal way.
Cultures are distributed from the
Bacteriological Laboratory for in
oculating seed of alfalfa, red clove l•,
white &:lover, crimson clover, alsi to
clover, sweet clover, vetches, pere,
sweet -pees, cow peas, field peas and
soy beans.
Each kind et' seed requires a dif-
ferent kind of culture. The cultures
are for use on seed only. There is
only one size package, this being suf-
ficient for 60 pounds of seed, though
the entire culture may be used on
less seed without harm. The cultures
are sent by mail with complete direc-
tions for their use.
Price.—A nominal charge of 25c
for each culture is made to cover ex-
penseof preparation and postage.
Application for Nitro -Cultures.=
Applicatio:is for cultures should
state the wind and amount of seed
to be inoculated and the approximate;
date of seeding. Applications should
be sent early, and should be accom-
panied with remittance to pay ire full
for the number of cultures desired
(twenty-five cents per culture). Ad-
dress as follows: Prof. D. H. Jones,
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
Canada. It is important that the ap-
plication should state plainly the kind
and amount of seed to be treated,
and the Name, Post Office, County
and Province of the applicant.
Letters received from those who
have received these cultures speak
very highly of this method of inoe u
cation as shown by the folloWieg:.'
Messrs...I. `J. Murray & Co., Seed
Merchants, Edmonton, Alta.: "We
wish to congratulate ,you on your
products which we have made use,of
many times. We made many .tests in
Ontario which proved to us that even
alfalfa screenings would produce a
greater growth the first and second.
year after being treated with ' the
bacterial culture than the very. best
quality of alfalfa seed would without
treatment.''
Mr. J. B. Munro, Fort William,
Ont.: "The cultures were used on
peas of an. early variety. The larger
portion of the seed was inoculated;
but part was planted in the ordinary
way as a check plot; In;tweive weeks
the whole field had reached maturity
with the exception of the pninoculat-
ed strip which was still 'green: 1
was not aware that the use of cul-
tures hastened maturity of this it
nano, but it appears from this experi-
ment that the crop was not only. im-
proved,' in yield, but growth and rna=
turity were hastened. The part of the
ar'op grown' from inoculated seed gave
excellent results' and in future cul-
tures will be used on all legumes
