LEGARD Flesherton, Ontario Friendly Bacteria Perforin the Trlrk â€" Preparation and Distribution of Cultures Described â€" How to Pre- core Sapplles. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) LEGUMINOUS crops, such as alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, â-¼etches, etc., have long been known, under certain condi- tions, to leave the land on which they were grown in a richer con- dition than it was in before the crop. 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 known as Legume Bacteria. These legume bacteria penetrate the young 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 be present and in such cases some meth- od of inoculation should be adopted to supply the bacteria. Numerous experiments and prolonged exper- ience have shown that the t>est way to do this is to inoculate the seed with the necessary bacteria. For such seed inoculation, artifi- cially grown cultures of the bacteria originally secured from the nodules on the roots of the same species of plant which is to be sown, are ap- plied to the seed shortly before it is sown. By this method the bacteria are carried into the soil with the seed, and in ample numbers to prac- tically insure infection of the roots, with consequent increased growth of the crop. The Bacteriological Laboratory of the Ontario Agricultural College has prepared and distributed legume nitro-culture to Canadian farmers each season since 1905. For ten years blanks were sent to those farmers who received cultures, on which they reported the results of the seed in- oculation as to whether It had been of benefit to the seeding. During this time 27,750 cultures were seat out, and reports received showed that SO per cent, alfalfa and TO per cent, red clover gave increased returns follow- ing seed inoculation. The cultures for inoculating seed are grown in the Bacteriological Lab- oratory on a specially prepared "cul- ture medium" and each one contains a sufficient number of bacteria to in- oculate a bushel of seed. For inocuhiling the seed, the cul- ture is simply mixed with a little skim-milk, or whey, or whole milk, then mixed thoroughly with the seed, which is allow^ed to dry a few min- utes and sown in the usual way. Cultuves are distributed from the Bacteriological Laboratory for in- oculating seed of alfalfa, red clover, white clover, crimson clover, alsike clover, sweet clover, vetches, peas, sweet peas, cow^ peas, held peas and soy beans. Each kind of 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. â€" A nominal charge of 25c for each culture is made to cover ex- pense of preparation and postage. Application for Nitro-Cultures. â€" Applications for cultures should state the kind and amount of seed to be Inoculated and the approximate date of seeding. Applications should be sant early, and should be accom- panied with remittance to pay in full for the number of cultures desired (twenty-tlve cents per culture). Ad- (iress 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 inocu- lation as shown by the following: Messrs. J. J. Murray & Co., Seed Merchants. Edmonton, Alta.: "We wish to congratulate yojj oti your products which we have made use of many tiuies. 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 tha bacterial culture than the very best quality of alfulfu seed would without treatment." Mr. J. B. Munro. Fort William, Out.: "The cultures were used on peus 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 twelve weeks the whole liold had reached tuaturity with the exception of the uninoculat- od strip which was still green. I was not aware that the use of cul- tures hu.-itcned maturity of this le- gume, but it appears from this experi- lueui that the crop was not only im- proved in yield, but gtowth and ma- turity v.'ore'hasteued. The part ot the crop grown from inoculated seed gtivc excellent results and in futuro cul- tures will he used on all legumes grown on the home farm." â€" I'ro!'. , •J. !'. Jones, O. A.
