APPENDIX A 221 



KING'S COUNTY. Peas. Inoculated rows have borne 

 most excellent crops, much better than in former years. 



Beans. A very marked difference was shown in growth 

 of the broad beans those which I had not inoculated 

 being much smaller and fewer. 



During the year reports have come to hand of various 

 experiments in different parts of the country, with inocu- 

 lating material obtained from abroad. In many cases 

 excellent results have been obtained, as indicated by the 

 three following reports : 



ENGLAND. 



ROTHAMSTED Clover. Land which was known to 

 have carried no leguminous crop for the last 50 years 

 was planted with red clover seed, and yielded as follows : 



Plot A. Inoculated with Hiltner's preparation from Cwts. 



Germany . . . . . . . . . . 76*4 



Plot B. Inoculated with Moore's preparation from 



America . . . . . . . . . . 72-9 



Plot C. Uninoculated .. .. .. 61-9 



SCOTLAND. 



WEST OF SCOTLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Beans. 

 Professor Wright reports: " On all the farms (five) on 

 which the inoculation proved beneficial the increase of

 return for the labour and cost. An average increase of 

 304 pounds grain per acre, as compared with 3 \ cwts. of 

 straw, shows clearly that the inoculation, while it gave a 

 larger crop of straw, increased the yield of beans in a 

 much greater degree, and hence the effect of this ad- 

 ditional treatment has been to enhance still further the
