The necesaXy conditions are, lu addition ta Uic sail being lu good tilUi, and well draincd, ha there should be lu Uic soil oetalu nspecies ai bacteria known as Legume Bacteria. These legunie bacteria penetrate Uic young roots ai Uic legumes wherc they produce little swellings ar nodules, singly or lu bunches. On clovers these nadules are very smo]] but numerous, while on peas and beans they are compara- tivcly large and fcw lu number. The bacteria in these nodules f ix thc fÊree nitrogen ai thc atmas- phere so that Uic plant can use it as food. Without Uic aid ai Uic bacteria theciplants cannat do lits and no plant other lian thc leg- unies can do it, even with thc bac- tenia lu thc soul. On aId souls, or where clovers or olier legumes arc successully grown lu crop rotation, thc bac- teria are usually present. In ne* sails, howevcr, or whcu new leg- unie crops, as ai! aI!a or sayabeans anc grown lu aid sail, thc appro- priate bacteria are apt not ta be present and lu such cases sainie mehad ai inoculation should be adopted ta supply thc bacteria. Nunicrous experiments and pro- longed experienoe have shown Uiat Uic best way ta do this is to luoculate Uic seed with Uic neces- sary bacteria. For such seed inoculation, ati- ficially grown cultures ai thc bac- tea, origina]ly securcd froni Uic noduls on Uic roats oi thc sanie species ai plant which is ta be sawn, anc applied ta sced short- ly bcfore it is sown.
