INOCULATION OF LEGUMINOUS PLANTS. 



The use of inoculating materials for leguminous plants has 

 been the subject of investigation both in Germany and the 

 United States of America ; in the former, Dr. L. Hiltner pre- 

 pared a new culture as a development of his " nitragin " which 

 formed the subject of experiments in England some years ago, 

 while in the latter Dr. G. T. Moore introduced a new form of 

 inoculating material which received the sanction of the United 

 States Bureau of Plant Industry at Washington. 



With a view of testing the cultures in this country, the Board 

 of Agriculture and Fisheries sought the co-operation of the 

 Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, and reports 

 have now been received by the Board from the following 

 centres : —
