Wherever these nodules are present in large numbers on the roots The combination of the legume bac- teria with the plant results in the plant tissues, "root, stem and leaf, giving a larger and more vigorous plant than is the case where the bae- teria are not present. It has been found that different varieties of legume bacteria are ne- cegsary for most of the various legumes. The variety of bacteria goed for red and white clover is no good for alfalfa or sweet clover; the for fleld beans, and the variety good beans, and so on with other legumes. If any particular legume crop has net been growing satisfactorily in any particular field, it is question- able if the right kind of legume bac- teria is present in the soil of that field. So, before a satisfactory crop to be introduced. For instance, the cultivatien of alfalfa is a new prac- tice in many sections. clover is common in the district it is probable that the right bacteria are there for alfalfa, as the variety good for sweet clover is good for alfalfa. If it is not present, it is doubtful if a good crop will be grown; hence | the difficulty often met with in get- ting alfalfa established in a new dis- trict unless the bacteria are first introduced. There are various ways of introducing the bacteria. One is to take a few loads of soil from a field in which the bacteria are pres- ent and scatter this over and work it into the field to be treated. This method was the first adopted. It is not practicable, however, in most cases. Legume Seed Inoculation.---- Another way is to inoculate the seed of the legume crop to be sown with a pure culture of the right variety of bacteria. When this is done, the bacteria are or the surface of the seed when it germinates in the sofl and so get into the young roots, prepared in bacteriological laborator=- ies and sold so much per culture. They are known as nitro-cultures or legume bacteria cultures, fous other trade names have been given to them. The Bacteriological Laboratory of the Ontario Agricul- tural College was the first to produce these cultures satisfactorily for dis- tribiition on the American continent. They are sold from the laboratory for the nominal sum of 50 cents each, to cover cost of material, container and postage. Each culture is sufi- cient for one bushel of seed. Thou- sands are sent out annually to all parts of Canada on application for the same. Letters received from those who have used these cultures speak very highly of this method of inoculation as shown by the following excerptgs Comox, B.C.: "In the spring of 1914 you sent me some alfalfa cul=- ture suitable for this district. After two years, I have to report that the inoculated patches have flourished | exceedingly well and are making { most luxuriant growth, entirely crowding out the weeds and showing a splendid color. The others which | were not incculated have almost en- { tirely died out and the few plants i left were small and very pale. In + fact, I have recently ploughed them up." Edmonton, Alberta: "We made . many tests in Ontario which proved i to us that even alfalfa screenings { would produce a greater growth the . first and second ' year, after being treated with the bacterial culture, than the very best quality of alfalfa seed would without treatment. We have been using the bacteria here, and have had a very goed result the first year." : Fort William: '"Regarding the cul- tures which you supplied last spring, they were used on a field of peas of an early variety." The larger portion of the seed was inoculated, but part was planted in the ordinary way as a check plat. The seeding was all done .about the 12th of May. In twelve weeks the whole field had reached maturity with the exception of the "uninoculated strip which was still green. I was not aware that the use + of cultures hastened maturity of this i legume, but it appears from this ex- " periment that the crop was not only improved in yield, but growth and ~ maturity were hastened. The part ef the crop grown from inoculated seed gave excellent results and in future cultures will be used on all legumes grown on the home farm." Cultures are distributed from the Bacteriological Laboratory, O. A. C., Guelph, for inoculating seed of al- falfa, red clover, sweet clover, crim- _ son clover, alsike clover, vetches, peas, sweet peas, cow peas, field peas, beans and soy beans.--D. H. Jones, 0D. A.

Many people wonder why the Red Cross did not stop its work when the war ended. That was what it did after the South African war, and it was expected to do the same after the Great War. Canadian Red Cross did not intend to go on. They we reeager to be de- mobilized, glad to think that, having done their bit during the war, they could with good conscience accept release from Red Cross duty and step back into the routine of private life; fnew obligations of a peace-time pro-, but the Red Cross was notallowed to stop. its war work. : 'The war had made vividly clear some things which a quarter of a century of peace might not have re- vealed with 'somuch impressiveness: the war had given us a revelation-- for it might fittingly be called a rev- elation--of the relative worth and ability of the ordinary man and wo- man. During the war the ordinary soldier, seaman and airman had stuck to their duties and did them with a courage and endurance which have never been surpassed. The spirit of the army and navy were shown to be equal to their best traditions. But the war had shown that, behind them ; there stood a nation of men and wo- men whose courage and steadfastness were worthy of their fighting men. It also revealed that in the easy paths of peace the physical powers of the race had been sadly neglected. The work of the Red Cross is now to encourage and teach how people can live in such accordance with the = laws of good health that never-again will such a large percentage be found unequa to any call that may be made. As Lloyd George said, "you cannot build an A-1 empire on C-3 material" And the aim of the Red Cross is to direct public conduct along the paths that shall make possible a nation of A-1 citizens. : The nominal fee of .
