In order to give the farmers an idea of these reports, a number of 

 extracts are given from them which show the benefit some experimenters 

 have obtained from the use of the nitro-cultures : 



Taylor Village, N.B. I put three acres with the treated seed and 

 three acres without the nitro-culture on a piece of heavy land, and in 

 examining the plants from time to time I found that nodules were quite 

 plentiful on the plants from the treated seed, and none on the plants from 

 the untreated seed, and I also found the growth and thriftiness quite 

 marked in favor of the plants from the nitro-treated seed. (Red Clover.) 



River John, N.S. The plants from the treated seed were thicker and 

 thriftier than those without the nitro-cultures, which were thin and spindly. 

 The roots on the treated spot being loaded with nodules and very fibrous, 

 while on the untreated there is far less root growth. (Red Clover). 



Marshville, Out. Enclosed please find samples of what I pulled this 

 morning (July 4th) in different* parts of the field, which I think is very 

 satisfactory indeed. Nodules appeared when plants were just above 

 ground. What I sowed in spring of 1904 has no nodules. (Red Clover). 



Note. — The one sample showed numerous nodules, the other none. — Authors. 



Cohvood, B.C. The part treated with nitro-culture looks green and 

 more vigorous than the untreated. Nodules are numerous on the treated 

 portion. (Red Clover.) 



Fingal, Out. The rootlets of the plants treated with nitro-culture 

 were simply clustered with nodules. Without nitro-culture, nodules were 

 not so numerous, but were present. (Red Clover). 



Colina, B.C. The clover plants were a lot better on the treated 

 land. (Red Clover.) 



Emerson, Man. On some plants treated the nodules were quite 

 numerous. Those having nodules were very vigorous, bnt the others have 

 made but small growth. (Red Clover.) 



Neepaiva, Man. The vigor of plants from seed treated with nitro- 

 culture was very good. The untreated seed produced pale and short 

 plants. (Red Clover.) 



Edmonton, Alia. Numerous nodules on plants from treated seed and 

 very healthy stand. With the untreated seed the plants were sickly with 

 a few healthy stalks. (Red Clover.) 



Deep Brook, N.S. Soon after seeding I commenced examining plants 

 on the treated patch and found nodules present which increased in size and 

 number each week as the season advanced. There was a marked differ- 

 ence between the plants from treated and untreated seed in favor of the 

 former. (Red Clover.) 



Berwick, N.S. The plants from treated seed were quite vigorous, 

 those from untreated only half as high. (Red Clover.)
