 WHAT FARMOGERM WILL 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 inocu- 

 lated legume crop. 



5. Enrich the soil for future crops, thereby increasing the 

 permanent value of the farm. 



Better crops — better soil — less fertilizer — less labor. 

 FARMOGERM FOR ALFALFA 



This wonderful forage crop is fast being accepted by the farmers 

 throughout the country as one of the most valuable of all farm crops. In 

 former years it was considered impossible to grow alfalfa except in certain 

 sections of this country, but Experiment Stations and progressive farmers 

 have clearly demonstrated that alfalfa can be grown profitably in almost 

 all parts of America if the alfalfa bacteria are supplied. Alfalfa yields from 

 2 to 5 tons of dry hay per acre, containing nearly twice as much digestible 

 protein as clover hay and four times as much as timothy. 



For best results, the land should be well drained, and well limed, free 

 from weeds and carefully prepared, and the seed should be inoculated with 

 Farmogerm for alfalfa. Alfalfa requires more lime than other hay and 

 forage crops, and it will not grow unless the alfalfa bacteria are present.
