Cultures for Legumes. Mulford and Farmogerm. 



Cultures not only enable legumes to gather and store up nitrogen, 

 but also help them to better utilize the phosphates, potash 

 and lime which are always present, in some form, in all soils. 

 It is certain that well-inoculated legumes have greater root 

 systems than uninoculated legumes, or plants that are not 

 nitrogen-gatherers. They, therefore, reach the potash, phos- 

 phate and lime contained in the subsoil, and the decay of the 

 root and stubble, or of the whole crop, returns to the soil, 

 in more available form, everything that was taken from it.
