Mr. Kid tor. in y?mr comment! on my letter of the |0th l note what you say in re? gard to Inoculation of Inn i for hairy vetch, with soil from land where Spring Vetch had been raided. I did not say that, but I did Say the bac? teria was different and say so now. i any the seed pods are different and I ?an show you the difference anytime. i cannot help what the government expert says. The common or spring vetch or tares, does not withstand the cold, in the Northern States. Is liable to bi winter killed, The hai y or Rus? sian vetch, though having properties! in common with all the ve.ch family, requires a different bacteria. A care? ful observation of the nodules will I show you that there is a difference. | and if you will examine thf difference between the nodules on the^e two and the little native vetch you will find a decided difference in the nodules. As to the soil method of inocula? tion I did not say anything about that, in my letter but am willing to say that it is alhight, if properly done, but though a party may get the soil from his neighbor for noth? ing. I think the hauling, applying, etc., for un acre would cost him more than two dollars f??r the commercial bacteria, besides the risk of carrying such things as nut grass from one Meld to another, Is to he considered, I have noticed in ibl* vicinity two or three kinds of vetches and have noted the Hnglish \etch, common and hairy vetch all in one Held and have to my satisfaction accounted for it. and in the moving of the soil Which I think you allude to I think you not only get the nodules of all kinds but tbe seeds of all kinds at the same time. As to the lime question, I quote from government report No. 77: "Caustic or quick lime la the most) concentrated, consequently the most economical to handle. Its caustic properties, however render it more vigorous in its actions than the mild? er sulphate (gypsum) or carbonates, lime atone, ( balk, wood ashes, marl, etc., and thus better suited for ap? plication to soils which are rich in organic matter than to light soils deficient in this substance. It is also especlaly suited to correc ting acidity in sour soils." This bears out what I say in my lett.-r, put all the humus you can on the land (organic matter) t.nd (bear In mind) plow it In not too deep, then apply your lime at once and har? row \n and after twenty or thirty dayi plant your seed. With this before me and other literature too numerous to quote, be sides experiences of myself and oth- ' ers, do yon expec me to care much about what experta say, or are repot t? ed to have said.
