APPENDIX A 209 



This village is composed of about 80 small holdings 

 from 2 to 4 acres, and most of the people grow market 

 garden stuff. They were surprised at me being able to 

 pick so much off the small amount of ground. I shall 

 be pleased to obtain more inoculation material next year, 

 when I want to try it on some heavy clay land which is 

 very poor, and has been laid down two years. 



GUERNSEY. 



RAMEE Runner Beans. The beans were grown with 

 the material you were kind enough to send us, and we 

 may say that we have never had a better and earlier 

 crop. The seeds came up very strong, and the leaves 

 had a nice dark colour. We picked the first beans six 

 weeks after sowing. 



A more detailed report states: On October 5, 1906, 

 we planted the house with beans, which did not crop very 

 well. The house is 200 feet long and 30 feet wide. This 

 crop was finished on February 21, 1907. We then 

 cleansed the house, burned some sulphur, washed the 

 glass, and trenched the ground about 18 inches deep, 

 and worked in 2 cwt. pulverized chalk, and ij cwt. 

 Cross's organic manure. We replanted the house with 

 inoculated seed on February 22, and our first beans were 

 sent to market on April 8. We can assure you beans 

 have never before done so well in our ground. 



HANTS. 



WINCHESTER Peas. The inoculated peas are grow- 

 ing and bearing well, especially as none of them were 

 manured. My opinion is that inoculation is a great 

 help on such poor soils as mine.
