Lnoculation of Seed and Sofl Describe ed --Clover, 41,16.1.1a, Pegs, Etc„ Precursors of Goo Crops ---Same Testimonials Offered. (Contributed by Ontario Department of 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.

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.' ^^',,AY'1...4411.31 Md of a Starts you toward the ownership o Car, Truck or tractor The FORD Weekly Purchase Plan is now ready The car helps pay for . itself.
