CULTURES FOR LEGUMES 



Legumes are the only plants, as a class, that can assimilate the nitrogen of the air as part of their food. This action is en 

 tirely due to the presence of nitrogen fixing bacteria. The nitrogen so obtained remains in the ground when the plants decay, 

 thereby greatly enriching the soil. Legumes are, therefore, very important as a fertilizer-producing crop. The application of 

 bacteria culture to the seed of legumes, when planting, greatly^|||creases the nitrogen-gathering power, and greatly increases also 

 the yield of crop. It is necessary to get a culture specifically for the crop to be treated. Cultures can be obtained for the fol- 

 lowing crops :
