Pure Cultures For Innoculating Legumes 



What Farmogerm Is 



FarmoKerm is a pure culture or growth of nitrogen- 

 fixing bacteria that have been selected and bred up to 

 transform large amounts of nitrogen from the air 

 into soluble nitrates. These bacteria are grown in a 

 jelly or tood, in which they remain active for long 

 periods of time, and sent out in a bottle which admits 

 the necessary supply of pure air, yet keeps out de- 

 structive contaminations. If Alfalfa can be grown on 

 hot, sandy land of South New Jersey why can't you 

 £row it?

are a well-established certainty in all instances where inocula- 

 tions are used together with proper culture methods. Not only 

 is the crop increased in weight but in its richness. TheU. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture, Bulletin 71, substantiates these statements, 

 \Vhy not increase your farm yields without extra labor and at 

 practically no extra cost? 



Farmogerm and Alfalfa in Maryland 



Oh September 12, 1911, Mr. S. N. Loose, Jr., of Washington Co., 

 writes as follows: ' 'In regard to resitlis obtained by using your 

 culture on the Alfalfa planted in September of last yenr, I beg to 

 say same was very satisfactory and results obtained were very 

 favorable. 



Increases the Production from 300 to 400 Per Cent 



Kinder Lou, Ga., January, 11, 1913. 

 Gentlemen: I have had a big success this year by using your 

 Farmogerm on pinders, peas, velvet beans and alfalfa. Tlie in- 

 creasefrom its use was from HOO to 400 per cent. This makes my 

 third year I have used it. In this time I have tested itfully every 

 way. II is a money niakerfor tJie far-nier. I zvill use it again on 

 my crops this year. iSigned) ly.S.McRee.

What Farmogerm Will Do 



Unless the soil is very acid or wet Farmogen will: 



1. Increase the yield and quality of Alialia', 

 Clover, Vetch, Cow Peas, Soja Beans, and other 

 legumes, giving quicker growth and earlier ma- 

 turity. 



2. Increase the food value of legumes. 



3. Make legumes grow ni new localities where 

 they cannot otherwise be grown successfully. 



4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with 

 the inoculated legume crop. 



5. Enrich the soil for future crops, thereby in- 

 creasing the permanent value of the farm. Better 

 crops — better soil — less fertilizer — less labor. 



10 Soja Bean Plants, Inoculated 



Fertilizer Values 



of well inoculated legumes have long been determined. It is 

 shown in Bulletin No. 71, issued by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 

 that tests covering a large part of the country prove that legumes 

 will deposit 1000 pounds of nitrates per acre. This means that 

 your most expensive commercial fertilizer is absolutely unneces- 

 sary when you plant legumes that are perfectly inoculated, sown 

 and planted in properly prepared land. 



Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas 



yield earlier, longer and better when treated with Farmogerm- 

 Farmogerm is endorsed by Farmers, Federal and State Agricul- 

 tural Departments and private estates. It is delivered to you in 

 bottles ready for use — you can inoculate the seed for ten acres 

 in ten minutes. When ordering always state on what particular 

 crop you desire to use Farmogerm so we will know what to send 

 you.

To Successfully Grow Alfalfa, Clovers, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Vetches and Other 

 Legumes, to Increase the Yield and to Improve the Soil 



The Mulford Nitro-genn consists of pure, tested cultures of active, vigorous 

 nitrogen-fixing bacteria, forinoculating seeds of legumes or soil. 



Legumes offer the best known mean.s of maintaining soil fertility and rejuv- 

 nating over-cropped and worn-out fields. 



The U S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Stations recommend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen fixing bacteria 

 to induce a prompt "catch" and increase the yield. 



Why buy expensive commercial nitrates when you can grow legume crops and 

 thus increase the yield and atthe same time replace the nitrates, enrich and 

 renovate the soil by Nature's own method t
