SOIL lNOCULATION WITH
BACTERIA.
Experiments at Oregon Agricultural
College to Demonstrate Its Value
to Legumnous Crops.

(By Dr. E. G. Peterson, Bacteriologist,
oregon Agricultural College,
The Department of Soil Bacterial.
ogy at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege has in process a series of in
vestigations, in the incubation of soil
with bacteria, which it is hoped, from
results so far attained, will clear up
some of the mystery which now sur
rounds this vital problem of soil fer
tility. Experiments to date very
strongly indicate that the presence of
the right variety of organisms affects
the crop very markedly in two ways:
in the general quantity and luXuri-
ance of the growth, and in the quality
of growth. The point often over
looked but which in reality is most
significant is the qualitative variation
caused by the bacteria of the soil
This qualitative variation is expressed
usually in a marked rise in the per-
centage of nitrogen present in the
plant tissue as a result of the pres
ence of artificially introduced soil
bacteria.
The first fact of importance noted
in the investigation of the subject
was that leguminous crops were char
acterized by having on their roots
what are called tuNercles or nodules
varying in size from a pln-head to a
pea It was further noted that the
general health and luxuriance Of the
plant was in direct proportion to the
abundance of these nodules. Very
poorly growing crops were found to-
be deficient in root nodules. moder-
ately successful crops were found to-
contain an average number of nodules.
while very healthy growths occurred
only in association with numerous
nodules.
This coincidence led to an investi-
cations of the nature of the nodule or
tubercle. It was at first thought TO
be of the nature Of a disease, but
