Here again the decrease is probably much greater than it ought to be 

 owing to variation in the number of plants in a row, especially in ' Main- 

 crop,' but every variety shows a decrease, and it is evident that the 

 difference shown in Plots XIX. and XX. is a purely fictitious one so far 

 as in >culation is concerned. It is obvious that the addition of lime does 

 n t yield better results with the inoculating material in our soil, nor is the 

 soil so deficient in potash and phosphates as to be incapable of maintaining 

 the nodule bacteria.

Here the variations in the total yield are slight, although in the 

 separate varieties they are great. 



If we now take the totals of the six plots on which the seed was 

 inoculated, and compare with the totals of those where the seed was not 

 inoculated, we have —
