...How to Make Crops Grow... 



A SPLENDID TESTIMONV CONCERMMG lyilTRO-BACTERINE. 



The following apiH'arfd in the W'airarapa Daily Times. New Zealaml. of January 4, 1912. 



After reading this even the most sceptical must he assured of the wonderful properties of Nitro- 



Bacterine. A letter from Mr. ,\Vingate informs us that the weather was extremely unfavourable, 



and that the oats were in stock for 12 davs, two farts which make the results all the more astonish- 

 ing- 



NITRO-BACTERHTE. 



Effect on an Oat Crop. 



Mr. John W iiigate, (if Ma.slirttPii. \\\\o has been 

 experimenting for some time past with iiitro- 

 bacterine, and its effect on crops, has kindly suj)- 

 plied us with some figures showing the result of 

 the application of the culture to a sowing of oats. 

 Mr. \Vingate .set aside five plots, to which he 

 ai)[)lied various manures, agd he kept a careful 

 note of the cost of the different methods of treat- 

 ment he used. The results may best be shown 

 in the following form : — It may be added that 

 Mr. George Dagg, a well-known farmer, did the 

 necessary measuring and weighing, and compiled 

 tlie figures quoted. 



Plot I, treated with li cwt. of mixed basic 

 slag and superphosphate, not inoculated with 

 nitro-bacterine, gave i ton ij cwt. t6 lbs. Cost 

 of manuring : gs. 



Plot 2, -treated with \\ cwt. superphosphate 

 per acre and inoculated with nitro-bacterine, gave 

 J tons 5 cwt. 2 qrs. 24 lbs., and cost 9s. pd. 



Plot 3. treated with \\ cwt. mixed basic slag 

 and suiJerphosphate inoculated with nitro-bac- 

 terine, ga\'e 2 tons 15 cwt. 2 qrs. 24 lbs., and the 

 manuring cost 9s. gd. 



Plot 4, treated with i^ cwt. of basic slag in- 

 oculated with nitro-bacterine, ga\-e 2 tons 10 cwt., 

 and the manuring cost 9s. gd. 



Plot 5, inoculated with nitro-bacterine only 

 (fourth crojj without any other manure), gave 2 

 tons 12 cwt 16 lbs. Cost of manuring : qil. 



A study of plots 1, 3 and 5 is well worth 

 while. No. i, the only plot without the culture, 

 although expensivelv manured, gave the poorest 

 return. The best results, irres])ective of cost, 

 were ohtained from plot 3 Easily the most 

 profitable return was from plot 5, which, although 

 it was without the exj)ensi\-e manures n.sed in the 

 other j)lots, was only three hundredweight behind 

 number 3
