Distribution of Cultures in Canada. 



The Bacteriological Department of the Ontario Agricultural College 

 began the distribution of cultures to Canadian farmers in the spring of 

 1905, and during that season two hundred and forty-six cultures were 

 sent out. A circular letter was sent to all who had received cultures, 

 asking for a report of the success or failure of the experiment. These 

 results were received and tabulated by Harrison and Barlow, and pub- 

 lished with a short historical account and discussion as Bulletin No. 148 

 of the Ontario Agricultural College. 



During the season of 1906, cultures were again sent out from this 

 laboratory, three hundred and seventy-five being distributed as follows :
