FARmogerH 



ALFALFA, CLOVERS, SOJA BEANS, COW PEAS, VETCH, and all other pod-growing plants called legume,'- 

 enrich the soil through the action of small bacteria growing upon their roots. These bactc^ria 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 

 sacks 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 in January, 1908, "It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any legumi 

 nous crop without being certain of the presence of bacteria which enable the plants to 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 inoculations should be done by means of the pure cultures of nitrogen-gathering bacteria, which are free from con- 

 tamination and contain only active bacteria of the proper kind. These standard inoculations are known as Farmogerm, and we 

 strongly advise the use of the cultures whenever you plant legumes of any description. 



^WHAT FARI^OGERM IS. 



Farmogerm 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 food, 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 destruc- 

 tive contaminations. If alfalfa can be grown on hot, sandy land 

 of South Jersey, why can't you grow it.'

l^HAT FARMOGERM UVILE DO. 



Unless the soil is very acid or wet, Farmogerm will: — 



1. Increase the yield and quality of legume crops, giving 

 quicker growth and earlier maturity. 



2. Increase the food value of legumes. 



3. Make legumes grow in 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 increasing the 

 permanent value of the farm. Better crops, better soil, less fer- 

 tilizer, less labor.
