At the end of the season a circular letter was sent to all who 

 had received cultures, asking what success each experimenter had had. 

 These reports may be summarized thus : — 



In order to give 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 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 favour of the plants from the nitro-treated 

 seed. (Eed Clover).
