the inoculated peas had larger pods, were better filled, of 

 finer flavour, and more uniform in shape than the un- 

 inoculated. The inoculated peas gained the second 

 prize at the District Show. 



MELSETTER Clover. I put the inoculation liquid on 

 about a quarter of an acre of grass and clover as a top- 

 dressing. In about a week I could see an improvement, 

 and it (the clover) was far higher and thicker than the 

 rest of the field right on until it was cut. There was 

 double the quantity on it, and it was the same with the 

 aftermath; it came up the second time far thicker and 

 stronger than the rest of the field. 



WORMIT (FIFE) Peas. Of those that have already 

 come to maturity, I find that the pods from the inoculated 

 seed are more numerous and much better filled than the 

 pods from seed not treated, the ratio of produce being 

 about 2 to i. 



Beans. Of the beans I cannot yet speak with cer- 

 tainty, as the crop is so late this year, but the pods of the 

 treated portion appear to be filling up much better than 

 the rest. 



ELGIN Clover. The inoculation experiment has been 

 a great success. I sowed the clover with oats. The part 

 I left untreated has been a failure, where treated there 

 is a good crop. I thought when I sowed it it would 

 have no effect on the corn crop, but only on the grass 

 next year, but I am glad to say that on the top of the 

 field which is inoculated, where the land is very poor 

 and no depth of soil, there is a good crop of oats where 

 it was never anything before. The neighbouring farmers 

 are wondering what I have done to it. On the part of 

 the field I left uninoculated the oats are not nearly so 

 high or so thick as where it is inoculated. 



FORRES Clover. I am glad to say that the crop of
