Arthur, Ont. Can see division where seed was treated and untreated. 

 Treated plants are more vigorous and of a better color than untreated 

 plants. Alfalfa. 



Moira, Ont. Where the culture was applied, the stand is thick and 

 healthy at present, although very small on the untreated part — being 

 thin and sickly looking, much the same as my last year's seeding. 

 Alfalfa. 



Charlton, Nipissing, Ont. There was a marked difference in the two 

 plots. The treated seed plants showing a very dark green and hardly any 

 yellow leaves, whereas the others always looked a pale green and are at 

 present about ripening. Several neighbors are taking an interest in this 

 experiment, and it is likely that next spring a few more and bigger appli- 

 cations for culture may be sent from here. Alfalfa.

Rawdon, P.Q. Many nodules on the treated seed, but very few on 

 the untreated. Treated plants much more vigorous and longer than un- 

 treated. Alfalfa. 



Creelman, Sask. Treated plants sturdy and deep rich green in color ; 

 untreated not nearly so sturdy nor nearly so deep a green color and later 

 in flowering. Alfalfa. 



Raymond, Ont. Numerous nodules and more vigorous plants from 

 the treated than from the untreated seed. Alfalfa. 



Loring, Ont. Plants from treated seed vigorous and nodules fairly 

 numerous, none on the untreated seed. Alfalfa. 



St. Thomas, Ont. More thrifty and stronger plants from the treated 

 seed than from the untreated. Alfalfa.
