INOCULATION OF SEED

Agriculture, Toronto.)
It has been known for centuries
that the soil of fields in which there
has been grown a good eTover, pea
or other leguminous crop is richer
after the crop than it was before.
Hence the practice of having a clover
or'other leguminous crop in the crop
rotation. Just why a good legumin
eus crop was beneficial to the soil
was not known until a few years ago.
It was then found that certain spe-
cies of bacteria, which came to be
known as the "legume bacteria," en-
tered the roots of* the legumes and
produced on them little swellings or
nodhiles. Wherevet these nodules are
present in large numbers on the roots
of ieguines a god crop. is assured.
The combination of the legume bac-
teria with the plant results in the
plant tissues, root, stem' and leaf,
giving a larger and more vigorous
plant than is the case where the bac-
teria are not present.
It has been found that different
varieties of legume bacteria are ne-
cessary for most of the various
legumes, The variety of bacteria
good for red and white clover is no
good for alfalfa or sweet clover; the
variety good for field pease is no good
for field beans, and the variety good
for -field beans is no good for soy
beans, and so on with other legumes.
If any particular legume crop has
not been growing satisfactorily in
any particular field, it is question-
able if the right kind • of legume bac-
teria Is present in the soil of that
field, So, before a satisfactory crop
can be grown the right bacteria have
to be introduced. For instance, the
cultivation of alfalfa is a new prac-
tice in many sections. If sweet
clover is common in the district it is
probable that the right bacteria are
there for alfalfa, as the variety good
for sweet clover is good for alfalfa.
If it is not present, it is doubtful if
a good crop will be grown; hence
the difficulty often met with in gpt-
ring alfalfa established in a new dis••
Erect unless the bacteria are first
introduced. There are various ways
of introducing the bacteria. One is
to take a few loads of soil from a
field in which the bacteria are pres
ant and scatter this over and work
it into the field to be treated, This
method was the first adopted. It is
not practicable, however, in most
cases.
Legume Seed Inoculation,—
Another way is to inoculate the seed
of the legume crop to be sown with
a pure culture of the right variety
of bacteria. When this is done, the
bacteria are on the surface of the
seed when it germinates in the soil
and so get into the young roots.
These cultures of legume bacteria are
prepared in bacteriological laborator-
ies and sold so, much per culture.
They are known as nitro -cultures or
legume bacteria cultures, and var-
ious other trade •names have been
given to them. The Bacteriological
Laboratory of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College was the first to produce
these cultures satisfactorily for dis-
tribution on the American continent.
They are sold from the laboratory for
he nominal sum of 50 cents each,
o cover cost of material, container
:td postage. Each culture is sum-
•ient for one bushel of seed. Thou-
e:nCs are sent out annually to all
.rts f„ Canada on application for
he sante. Letters received from
hose who have esed these cultures
Speak very highly of this method of
inoculation as shown by the following
xcerpts •
Co:nox, B.C.: "In the spring of
:914 you sent me some alfalfa cul-
ture suitable for this•district. After
two years, I have to report that the
Inoculated patches have flourished
'xceedingly well and 'are making
a. •Est luxuriant growth, entirely
crowding out the weeds and showing
a splendid color. The others which
were not inoculated have almost en-
tirely died out and the few plants
left were small and very pale. In
fact, I have recently ploughed them
Up."
Edmonton, Alberta: "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
teed' would without treatrhent. We
have been using the bacteria here,
end•,have had a 'very good' result the
first year."
Fort William: "Regarding the cul-
tures which you supplied last spring,
they were used on afield of peas of
an early V'eriety. The larger portion
of the seed was inoculated, but part
was planted in the ordinary way as a
check plat. The seeding was all done
about 'the 12th of May. In twelve
weeks the whole field had reached
maturity with the exception of the
uninoeulated strip which was still
green. I'was not aware that the use
of cultures hastened maturity ofthis
legume, but it appears from this ex-
periment that the crop was not only
improved in yield,, but growth and
maturity *ere hastened. The part of
the crop grown from inoculated•'seed
gave excellent results and in future
cultures will be used on all legumes
grown OD. the home farm."
Cultures are distributed from the
Bacteriological Laboratory, O. A. C.,
Guelph, for inoculating seed of al-
Ialfa, red clover, sweet clover, bei•iaa-
aon "clover, • alsike _clover, vetches,
pcas, sweet peaA,;cow peas, field 'peas,
oeans and soy beans. --=D: H. Jones,

"Tourists Help 13evelott Ontario
1. A Typical Bungalow Camp at Emerald Lake. 2. This from the Nipigon. 3. A Vista of the French River.
MOST of the newer parts of
Canada have received their first
impetus toward development through
the tourists. In manycases it has
been the tourists that ave first gone
in to spy out the land. They have
found it good, and, by the trade
which they brought in, have encour-
aged settlers to set up their homes
with the result that the district has
been well started on its way to
becoming an organized and produc-
tive community.
With the idea of inducing traffic,
and by so doing, helping to popularize
and, settle those vast, beautiful and
productive lands along the right-of-
way in Central and Western Ontario,
the Canadian Pacific Railway has
decided to establish a number of
Bungalow Camps, modeled on those
which have proved so successful in
the Canadian Pacific Rockies during
the past three years, and it is ex-
pected that in a very short time this
part of the country w.11 be as famed
for its see& tc and sport ng possib litres
as any other pert ofhe Dors>n� Q' n.
The French River, Nipigon Bay and
Lake Of the Woods districts are, and
have been for many years, well and
most favourably known to Anglers
and hunters, particularly those from
the United States and the Western
provinces; but owing to lack of
adequate housing facilities the traffic
has been confined chiefly 'to the more
adventurous spirits who are satisfied
to live in tents. It is in these districts
that the first three of the Bungalow
Camps will be located, and it is ex-
pected that they will be ready for
occupation by July first.
The Camps will consist of a central
community house where meals will
be served, and which will also serve as a
recreation hall, surrounded by small
rustic bungalows suitable for two or
four persons, The privacy, simplicity
and rusticity of these bungaloo
appeals to those who like otet 9or
and the moderate cost of constrtcti
and maintenance makes it possible q
charge much lower rates than an
elaborate hotel where operating ex-
penses are necessarily high.
The Hon. Mr. Bowman; Minister
of Lands and Forests in the Ontario
Government, has expressed himself as
entirely sympathetic to the extenslo}i
of the Bungalow Camp idea in O
tario, and any sites that may e
selected on Crown Lands will be
available at agreed rates with the
cordial co-operation of this depart-
ment, so that the Company will be
able to establish camps in some of the
choicest spots of this beautiful and
inspiring country.'
