Results of Inoculation as Shown in the Yield Taken From a Plot of Alfalfa 4 Feet Square. 



Alfalfa— Clovers— Soja Beans— Cow Peas 



and all other pod growing' plants cal'ed leg-umes enrich the soil through the action of small bacteria growing upon their roots. These bacteria live only 

 upon the roots of legumes and by an action of their bodies extract the free nitrogen of the air, and deposit around themselves as nitrates, thus forming 

 little sack"; or nodules on the roots of the growing plants. These sacks furnish the growing plant with all the nitrates it requires, and still leaves large 

 amounts unused in the soil ready for future crops or other crops growing at the same time with the legumes. Quoting from bulletin issued by the Dept. of 

 .Agriculture on January 1908. "It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the presence of the bacteria which 

 enable the plants lo fix free nitrogen." 



The method of transfer of soil for inoculation is both costly and dangerous, — weed seed, soil and plant diseases are transferred in this way. All 

 innoculatioris should be done by means "f the pure cultures of nitrogen-.g;ithering bacteria which are free from contamination and contain only active 

 bacteria of the proper kind. These standard iunoculations arc known as Farmogerm, and we strougl.v advise the use of the cultures whenever you plant 

 legumes of au,\' description.

of well inoculated legumes have long been 

 determined. It is shown in Bulletin Xo. 71, 

 issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 that tests covering a large part of the country 

 prove that legumes will deposit 1000 lbs. of 

 nitrates per acre. This means that your 

 most expensive commercial fertilizer is ab- 

 solutely unnecessary when you plant legumes 

 that are perfectly inoculated, sown and 

 planted in properly prepared laud. 



Farmogerm On Beans 

 Z>!-. C. R. IVat'd of JS'oytlwmc, Minn., wyiies 

 March 17lh, 1911. "/ u'ish you could have seen 

 some Wa.x Beans I raised last Summer using 

 Faimoserm on the Seed. I planted in gj-oiind 

 whei-c the year before tJie pods were so specked 

 that most of them could notbeeaten. This year., 

 using Farmogerm, the pods 7vere uniform 211 

 size and length, from <5?<J to 7\i inches long, 

 and were absolutely perfect, except one pod 

 which had one little dark bi'07un speck on it. 

 The bushes were filed as full of fine pods as 

 any picture you ever saw in a seed calalog."

Farmogerm and Alfalfa In Maryland 



On Sept. 12th, 1911. Mr. S. N. Loose fr., of Washing- 

 ton Co., writes as follmvs: In regard to results ob- 

 tained by useing your cultures, on the Alfalfa planted 

 in September of last year, I beg to say same was very 

 satisfactory and results obtained was very favorable. 



Increased Crops 



are a well established certainty in all instances 

 where inoculations are used together with 

 proper culture methods. Not only is the 

 crop increased in ■^•eight, but in its richness^ 

 The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Bulletin Xo, 

 71 substantiates these statements. Why not 

 increase your farm j ields without extra labor 

 and at practically no extra cost. 



Farmogerm On Alfalfa 



Mr. Frank S. ll'''alker of Dudley, Mass., 

 writes Oct. 2Sth, 1911. " I received your request 

 and would say in reply, that the piece I used 

 the "Farmogerm"^ on, I have cut three times 

 and is noiu about six hiches high, which I 

 shall not cut. I have another piece that I did 

 not use " Farmogeiin"^ on that has not 

 amounted to anything.'^
