Farmogerm 



Soil and crop experts agree that Farmogerm 

 not only increases crop production but also 

 greatly improves the soil. It should be used on 

 the seed of all legumes, like clover, peas, and 

 beans. By the use of Farmogerm, the nitrogen- 

 gathering bacteria in the soil are greatly in- 

 creased, thereby adding to the available supply 

 of nitrogen. Each
