THE contention of the present volume is that soil 

 inoculation scientifically carried out will greatly 

 increase the yield of the land that is already under 

 cultivation, that it will bring into cultivation large 

 tracts of land that it has hitherto not paid to culti- 

 vate, and that by the stimulation of plants it will be 

 possible to bring fruit and flowers to maturity earlier 

 than can be done by other means. In the present 

 chapter I propose briefly to indicate the results that 

 experience has shown can be achieved by the grower.
