Advice on Various Subjects.
From the Washington State College. Pullmo

From the Washington State College. Pullman.
A correspondent at Cheney writes
the following letter to the station.
81 am interested in the subject Of
bacteria as an agricultural agency,
and would like to know if anything
is being done by the government
along the lines of bacteria research.
Is the use of bacteria cultures likely
to prove an important factor in Tie
agriculture of the Inland Empire: !:
To what extent are fertilizers used in
the Northwest, and with what eff
ficiencyf Please give me some infor-
nation concerning the new theory Of
soil poisoning by successive crops =
Following is the reply given to this
letter:
"At/this station we have tested sew.
eral different cultures, some of which
were successful, while others failed.
w" have found that in the laboratory
and greenhouses, where conditions
could be controlled fairly well, the
cultures possessed values. We are
not sure that their use will become
general, for most of the commercial
product does not show up very uni
formly. We have depended more
largely on the use of inoculatcd soil
from old alfalfa fields. in getting a
stand of alfalfa, than on the bacteria.
Fertilizers have not been very
thoroughly tested in eastern Wash
ington, but we are learning that manv
of our soils may be vastly improved
by certain treatments. The indica-
tions are that fertilizers will be used
in the near future. more as cor.
rective agency, than to increase fertil.
ity. The theory Of 'soil-p oisoning' is
based on the fact that where soil
is overcharged with some element,
the excess Of this element becomes in :.
furious to vegetation. 1t is necessary
10 counteract this by the use Of some
.AA.aisl fastiliass."
