M% INSECTICIDE 

 - DUSTER 



£BH 



Blows all dry powders 

 over plants and into trees 

 for the killing of insects 

 and fungus. It will cover 

 a given area more thorough- 

 ly with a cloud of powder, 

 and use less than any other 

 contrivance. With it are 

 supplied nozzles for differ- 

 ent uses. With the "V 

 nozzles, two rows of pota- 

 toes are dusted at one time, 

 then there is a hood nozzle 

 for'cabbage worm dusting — 

 it keeps the powder from 

 escaping beyond the head; 

 then there is a curved nozzle 

 for under dusting, and telescope nozzles to blow powder 

 into trees. It is the most satisfactory powder dusting ap- 

 paratus ever invented. It weighs about 5 lbs., is easily 

 carried, and is operated by turning a little crank.

FARMOGERM SEED INOCULATION 



HIGH BRED NITROGEN GATHERING BACTERIA 



Always inoculate all your legume seeds if you want the biggest yield and the maximum 

 fertilizing value. No matter how big a crop you are getting, Farmogerm will improve it 

 and increase the amount of nitrogen stored up for future use in the form of nodules on the 

 roots. 



Farmogerm Bacteria have been bred up for eleven years in the laboratory by a great 

 expert. They have been grown, sorted and developed until they are many times more 

 active than the ordinary bacteria you find in the soil. 



Farmogerm is supplied in a bottle with a patented ventilating stopper. This insures 

 the bacteria being alive and active for at least five years. This exclusive F'armogerm 

 feature is your insurance for thorough inoculation. Farmogerm is always fresh. It is 

 easy and simple to use. Full directions are on every bottle. 



We supply Farmogerm for Alfalfa, Vetches, Peanuts, All Clovers, Sweet Peas and 

 Every Variety of Field and Garden Peas and Beans.

THE 



. . 



BIG CROP 

 TESTER 



SOIL 



The "BIG CROP" Soil Test tells whether or not any piece of land is in the 

 proper condition to produce a "BIG CROP" and serves you as a guide how to 

 correct faulty soil conditions. 



CUTS OUT GUESS WORK. Every crop eats up lime and manure, every rain 

 washes lime and manure out of the soil; these are the reasons why most of the 

 soils on a farm are either short in lime or manure or both. No man can tell by 

 the looks of a soil or by making a jack knife or a palm test whether a soil is short 

 in lime and manure. The only way to tell is by making a test with the "BIG 

 CROP" Soil Tester, which alone furnishes the sure proof. 



If you know each year by testing each field with the "BIG CROP" Soil Tester 

 how much lime and manure is left, then you can add enough, where it will pay 

 the biggest returns instead of spreading it where it is not needed and cannot 

 be made to pay. 

 In particular it will tell you — • 

 Whether or not your soil needs lime and how much per 



acre. 

 Whether or not manure (organic matter) is needed. 

 Whether or not your soil needs inoculating for alfalfa, 



clovers, cow peas, soybeans, vetch and other le- 

 gumes. 

 Where and where not green manuring will pay. 

 Which fields on your farm are best adapted to alfalfa, 



clovers, grain, corn, potatoes, vegetables, etc. 

 Where and where not to apply chemical fertilizers 



and how to use them at the least possible loss through 



leaching. 

 How to build up worn, thin, neglected soils properly 



and systematically.
