8. There was under no s jil treatment a consistent increase in the crop 

 due to inoculation. 



9. The total weight of the crop from the whole of the plots receiving 

 inoculated seed was 450 lb., while the total from the plots in which 

 uninoculated seed was sown was 515 lb. The uninuculated seed there- 

 fore gave a crop 14 per cent, heavier than the inoculated in the aggregate. 



10. The crop from the inoculated seed was not better in any way than 

 that from the uninoculated, nor did it reach maturity earlier. 



11. There was a remarkable difference in the yield from the well- 

 cultivated land and the fallowed land, greatly in favour of the former. 



12. It is concluded that the inoculation of leguminous crops with 

 " Nitro-Bacterine " in ordinary garden soil is not likely to prove beneficial.
