Harding, Man. There was quite a marked difference between what 

 was treated and what was not treated, and I consider the result was very 

 g-ood. (Alfalfa.) 



Mount Stewart, P. E. I. Plants from treated seed were dark green 

 and quite vigorous. From untreated seed the plants were yellow and 

 unthrifty. (Alfalfa.) 



Colquitz, B.C. I am not a believer in nitro-culture, or, at least, was 

 very skeptical as to the treatment being of any value whatever. I have 

 bsen unable, however, to shut my eyes to the tact as shown by my own 

 land. The land had been well sub-soiled in preparation to a depth of from 

 16 to 18 inches, and the portion upon which the nitro-culture was not used 

 was treated in every way as well as the other. The plants from the treated 

 seed were very strong and sown with nurse crop are now about 8 inches 

 high. From untreated seed the plants are weak in appearance and only 

 about 3 inches high. (Alfalfa.) 



Centretown, Ont. The plants from treated seed sown on very light 

 sandy soil were healthy and grew rapidly. Those from untreated seed 

 were delicate and of stunted growth. (Alfalfa.) 



Cloverdale, B.C. Plants from treated seed are healthy in color and 

 18 inches high, from untreated seed 4 to 6 inches high and yellow. I may 

 say in conclusion that the quarter acre oi' untreated seed was planted on 

 better land which had been under cultivation in root crops for two years 

 and had been slightly manured with barnyard manure and lime previously. 

 The treated seed was planted on absolutely new forest land which is almost 

 void of humus and available nitrogen. This speaks well for the cultures.

Charlottetown, P.E.I. The boundary between the two plots is dis- 

 tinctly marked, that growing from the inoculated seed is a richer green 

 and of stronger growth. (Alfalfa.) 



Brule, X.S. The difference between treated and untreated plants was 

 more marked after the first cutting. The treated are now about one foot 

 high and oi' a dark green healthy color. The untreated are only a few- 

 inches high and except in a few scattered bunches are yellow and sickly.

Marshville, Ont. I sowed two acres last spring without "nitroculture 



and the roots are smaller than what I sowed this spring with treated seed. 

 (Alfalfa.) 



St. Catharines, Ont. The culture was used on alfalfa sown in April 

 on fall wheat about 15 pounds per acre. The stand at present is considered 

 good, a difference being evident in favor of the nitro-culture treated seed. 

 (Alfalfa.) 



Treesbank, Man. Nodules are plentiful on the part sowed with the 

 treated seed, but 1 have not been able to find any on the other strip seeded
