For Larger Crops and Richer Soil 

 at Lowest Cost — Fertilize with 



FARMOGERM 



High-Bred Nitrogen Gathering Bacteria 



Before soil can produce a big crop it must contain 

 plenty of nitrogen or nitrates. Nitrogen is the plant 

 food which is most often lacking in the soil. It is also 

 the most expensive fertilizing material to supply in the 

 ordinary way. Commercial fertilizers which are rich in 

 nitrates are very high in price and the expense and 

 labor of transporting and spreading them must be 

 added to the cost. 



But it is now no longer necessary for you to carry that burden of 

 expense and trouble. When planting- alfalfa or any of the clovers, or 

 when planting any kind of peas or beans, whether field or garden, you 

 may simply inoculate the soil with nitrogen gathering bacteria by 

 moistening the seed with Farmogerm. In this way you will supply 

 your soil with enough nitrates to produce several bumper crops at the 

 low cost of |2.00 an acre and with practically no extra work. 



THIS IS A PROVED SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL FACT. Soil 

 inoculation with nitrogen gathering bacteria has long been recognized 

 as the final solution of the nitrates problem. The only trouble heretofore 

 has been to perfect a simple, sure and economical method of getting the 

 right bacteria into the soil. And now this problem is solved. Any one 

 can use Farmogerm. It is all ready to use. No development or treatment 

 necessary by the user, as has been the case with other methods. Be- 

 sides, Farmogerm contains carefully selected nitrogen gathering bac- 

 teria which have been bred up to a state of strong vitality and great 

 nitrogen gathering power. And the bacteria keep alive and vigorous 

 in Farmogerm so that they are in perfect condition to do the most 

 good when used. 



Further on we give a list of the crops with which Farmogerm may 

 be used. It is only in the variety of crops known as the legumes 

 that the nitrogen gathering bacteria get in their work. "WTim Farmo- 

 germ is used on the seed of such crops, or sprayed over the field or 

 mixed with earth and spread, the bacteria multiply rapidly, by the 

 millions, and enter the roots of the young plants, where they gener- 

 ally form nodules or little nobs, which you may have noticed on the 

 rcots of clover plants, or pea and bean vines. They begin at onte 

 to draw nitrogen from the unlimited supply in the air, and as they 

 convert it into soluble nitrates it is immediately available for the 

 growing plants. This insures a more rapid and heavier growth of the 

 crop and adds greatly to its food value, owing to the fact that it 

 contains a larger proportion of nitrogen. 



BTTT THIS EARLIER MATURITY. LARGER YIELD AND 

 GREATER FOOD VALUE OF THE FIRST CROP IS ONLY PART 

 OF THE GOOD WORK THAT FARMOGERM DOES. The next 

 two or three crops also get the benefit. The bacteria store 

 nitrogen in the soil, leaving for future crops, on the average, as much 

 available nitrogen to the acre as 700 to 1,000 pounds of nitrate of 

 soda would add. This much nitrate of soda would cost from $20.00 

 to $30.00, while enough Farmogorm for an acre costs $2.00. Be-

 three times as much as the other. 



sides, when using Farmogerm you get a big extra profit on the crop 

 you use it with, and the nitrogen which the bacteria gathers stays 

 in the soil better and is in more available form for the plants than 

 that which is added with nitrate of soda. 



REMEMBER, ANY CROP REAPS THE BENEFIT OF THE NI- 

 TRATES ESTABLISHED IN THE SOIL BY GROWING AN INOCU- 

 LATED LEGUME CROP. In other words^ you may plant your 

 legume crop, inoculated with Farmogerm, take off a big crop, and 

 then the soil is ready to produce a bumper crop of anything you wish 

 to sow it to, such as com, wheat, oats or any grain as well as cotton, 

 tobacco, potatoes or other vegetables. 



Send for our pamphlet which gives full particulars and contains 

 reports from many users of Farmogerm, as well as the opinions of 

 high authorities regarding this first reliable, simple and economical 

 method of drawing nitrogen from the free and unlimited supply in 

 the air.
