Save Fertilizer Expense 



By growing inoculated legumes which will enrich the soil with nitrogen to grow good crops of any kind. 



Legumes without the presence of proper bacteria rob the soil of nitrogen, making it poorer, the same as do other crops, 

 and since nearly all soils are short of nitrogen, it is very important that legume crops should be soil-builders, not soil-robbers. 



Legumes when supplied with strong, active nitrogen-gathering bacteria of the proper kind are enabled to produce larger 

 yields and also enrich the land. These bacteria when present in the soil in sufficient quantity attach themselves to the roots 

 of legumes, wherein they live, and draw large quantities of nitrogen from the air. This nitrogen drawn from the air by the 

 bacteria greatly aids the growth of the crop with which they are living, and also at the same time there is being deposited 

 in the soil quantities of nitrogen to grow further good crops of any kind. 



Help Your Crops Enrich Your Land 



Some soils may contain enough of the proper bacteria; however, many soils do not. Legume crops not amply supplied 

 with the nitrogen-gathering bacteria do not do full work in improving the soil, but on the contrary may be wearing it out. 

 Since the importance of these bacteria is an estabhshed fact, it is most advisable to make sure of having crops well supplied. 

 This can be done by using reliable inoculating cultures on the seed before planting. 



These cultures are easily and effectively handled by anyone following the simple directions for use found on the bottles. 

 This is the safest, quickest and cheapest way of improving your soil. This inoculation is not for direct use on such crops 

 as Com, Cotton, Grain, Potatoes, etc. When used on all the legume crops such as Vetch, Alfalfa, Soy Beans, Cow Peas, 

 Clovers, Peanuts, etc., large quantities of nitrogen accumulate in the roots and is left in the soil to grow good succeeding crops 

 of Com. Cotton, Grain, etc. Inoculation does double work — first, improving the crops inoculated, and second, enriching 

 the soil to grow good crops of the kinds which cannot be inoculated. 



Grow Better Crops and Improve Your Land 



By Inoculating Your Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Vetch, Alfalfa, 

 Peanuts, Clovers and All Other Legume Seed Before Sowing. 



Inoculate Your Seed 



For Only Fifty (50) Cents Per Acre 



With Standard Inoculation 



We can supply you with inoculation for all the princip;d legume crops such as Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, 

 Crimson Clover, Red Clover, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Velvet Beans, Vetches, Peanuts, Garden Peas and Beans, 

 etc. These cultures of inoculation are delivered in bottles ready to use simply by adding a little water and 

 sprinkling on the seed. Seed for 10 acres can be inoculated in 15 minutes.

THE CONTRAST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF 



Mulford Cultures for Legumes 



Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria for inocu- 

 lating seeds of legumes or soil. 



Mulford Cultures are "different" and should not be confused with other brands. 



The color is different (they are dark, almost black, due to a special ingredient added to increase the 

 growth and activity of the bacteria). 



The ecu n t is different (bacterial counts show fully twice as many bacteria as in the old-form cultures) . 



The bottle is different (being sealed^an important feature which prevents all possibility of con- 

 tamination from the outside air). 



Legumes offer the best-known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenating over-cropped 

 and worn-out fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield of Wtiea t. 

 Cotton, Corn and other non-legume crops. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experiment Stations recom- 

 mend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to induce a prompt "catch" and increase your 

 yield.
