Mrs. Fred Lorriman Gives talk On Vimy War Memorial Unveiling LEGUME SEED INOCULATION PAYS Leguminous crops, -stuch as alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, vetches, etc., have long been- known, under certain con- ditions, to leave the 'land, on which they were grown in- a richer condition than it was in before the crop. The necessary conditions are, in addition to the «oil being in good tilth, and well drained, that there should' be in the soil certain species of bacteria known as Legumie Bacteria. These legume bacteria penetrate the young roots of the flegum-es where they pro- duce little swelling® or nodules, singly or in bunches. On- clovers these no- dules are very. small but numerous, while on -peas and beans1 they, -are comparatively large land few in num- ber. The bacteria in these nodules fix the free nitrogen of the atmos- phere so that -the plant can use it as food. -Without the' aid of the bac- teria th-e plants cannot -do this and no plant -other than -the legumes can- do it, even with the bacteria present in the soil. On old! soils, or where clovers or -other legumes are successfully grown in crop rotation, the bacteria, are usually present. In new soils, how- ever, or when new legume cropsi, as alfalfa, are grown in old soil, the ap- propriate bacteria are apt not to be present and in -such ‘ cases some -method of inoculation, should foe adopted to supply the - bacteria, Nu- merous experiments -and. prolonged -experience have shown that the best w'ay to do this is to inoculate the seed with -the necessary bacteria. Fo-r stuch seed inoculation, artifi- cially grown, cultures -of -the bacteria., originally secured from, the nodules on- the roots of the same species of pliant which is to be sown., are ap- plied to the seed1 shortly before it is -shown. By this method the bacteria are carried into the soil with -the seed1, -and! in ample numbers to practically insure infection, of the roots, " with consequent increased growth of the crop. Alfalfa and -clover seed are very -expensive, and, las an -extra 'insurance it will quite possibly pay you to- use culture this year. For your accommodation your Agricultural Representative. E. A. 'Summers, has -a. supply of cultures at the Department of Agriculture Office, Bowmanvillc. A culture will treat -one bushel of -seed, but if you have less than -a bushel the entire culture may be used without barm. Cul- tures for alfalfa, red: clover, a Like a-nd .sweet clover are -twenty-five white peas -and soybean cultures are two for -twenty-five. If it is- not con- venient for you 'to câll ait the De- partment Office, -cultures will be sent by mail. T---â€"â€"â€"-o---------;---- Honeybees' are worth 20 times as much for -th-eir work o-f pollinating fruit and -other plants as 'they -are for the homey and wax they produce. Bowmanville W. I.
