N.S.H.S. Notes 
The regular bi-monthly meeting of 
the N.S.H.S. was held Nov. 1 at Lee’s 
hall, Manchester, when the following 
subject was discussed: ‘ Nitro-Cul- 
ture.”” Wm. Till lead the discussion, 
giving a very interesting and instruc- 
tive talk. 
Mr. Till said among other things 
_ that the object of nitro-culture, or the 
inoculation of legumes, is to inoculate 
the seed of leguminous plants, or the 
soil in which they grow with nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria, which collect or en- 
able the plant to collect free nitrogen 
from the air and deposit it, through 
the roots, in the soil for use of present 
and succeeding crops. 
“Any pod-bearing crop whose roots 
are well provided with nodules (or 
knots) do not need this treatment ; 
neither is it recommended on soil al- 
ready rich in nitrogen,” he said. 
‘Inoculation appears to be of the 
most benefit where a new variety of 
legume is being introduced as is the 
case of alfafa in the eastern states ; or 
if a soil is in poor condition and has 
not previously borne leguminous crops. 
Under these conditions, inoculation is 
both desirable and advantageous. 
“The absence of time will render 
inoculation a failure as the bacteria 
will not work in a soil that is acid or 
in need of time.”’ 
Cultures, dried on cotton and in 
liquid form, also roots showing nodules, 
were used by the speaker, to illustrate 
his remarks. Cultures for any legum- 
inous crop can be obtained free from 
the Department of Agriculture, Wash- 
ington, D.C., on application. Printed 
directions accompany each package 
sent out. 
The society extended a vote of 
thanks to Karl Kellerman, of the 
Department of Agriculture, Washing- 
ton, for his courtesy in furnishing 
samples of cultures and for informa- 
tion concerning the subject. 
James Salter was awarded a special 
prize for a seedling anemone flowered 
chrysanthemum. Eric Wetherlow re- 
ceived a certificate of merit for a fine 
collection of pompon and anemone 
flowered chrysanthemum.
