Farmogerm is Not Over-Estimated. 



We do not claim that Farmogerm will cure all the ills of soil 

 or failure of crops. 



It does add nitrates to the soil — all the crops can use and more, 

 but it does not add potash and phosphates. Furthermore, Farmogerm 

 will not overcome results due to had seed, insufficient seed, im- 

 proper preparation and cultivation, and decidedly adverse weather 

 conditions. It cannot be used successfully on sour soil. Sweeten 

 sour soil by liming before using Farmogerm. 



We make no extravagant claims for Farmogerm. We make no 

 claims which are not borne out by the facts — facts which we ca.i 

 prove. 



It is the lack of nitrates in his soil which presents the greatest 

 problem to the average farmer, and it is this problem which Farmo- 

 germ will solve for him at the small expense of $2.00 an acre ar.a 

 practically no extra work or trouble. 



Why Farmogerm Produces Results. 



The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture has been working to develop nitro. 

 gen-gathering bacteria, and the following are quotations from their 

 reports : 



"It has been amply demonstrated, not only by hundreds of years 

 of actual experience, but by numberless carefully conducted experiments 

 in many countries and under widely varying conditions, that clovers 

 and numerous other legumes supplied with tubercle (noaule) bac- 

 teria obtain from the air through the agency of tiiese bacteria, under 

 favorable conditions, all the nitrogen they require, and that they 

 leave in the soil considerable quantities for succeeding crops. In 

 Germany the amount of nitrogen added to the soil by legumes, be- 

 sides that taken off in the crop, is estimated at 200 pounds per acre. 

 In the United States the average for sixteen states is 122 pounds, 

 aquivalent to not less than 800 to 1,000 pounds of nitrate of soda 

 per acre." — Year Book of Department of Agriculture for 1906. 



"The subject of nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere is one of 

 tho most important problems lying at the foundation of agriculture." 

 — Bulletin No. 71, Bureau of Plant Industry. 



"Pure-culture inoculation must eventually replace the soil trans- 

 fer methods for all kinds of soil inoculation .... The pure culture 

 method has come to stay." — Year Book of Department of Agriculture 



for l'JU6. 



Now, Farmogeirm is a pure culture. And it does do the work, 

 it produces results such as other cultures have failed to produce for 

 these reasons; 



First — Our laboratory methods enable us to be sure of getting an 

 absolutely pure culture of the right bacteria. 



Second — The bacteria are bred up by successive inoculations of 

 plants grovm in a nitrogen-free medium, and thoir nodule forming 

 and nitrogen-fixing power thereby greatly increased. 



Third — Each bottle of Farmogerm is individually inoculated and 

 developed. The growth of the bacteria on the jelly-like medium can 

 be seen and any contaminations or impurities detected, and each 

 bottle is carefully inspected before it is shipped. 



Fourth — Farmogerm is sent out in Dottles, sealed with a 

 special stopper which, while supplying the bacteria with all tho air 

 they need, absolutely prevents contamination. And it will last in 

 good condition for months. 



Fifth (and a feature of great importance! — Farmogerm needs no 

 "development" or "treatment" before it is ready for use. We 

 leave no delicate or difficult work to be done by the user.

I liave tried Farmogerm on 

 bears with most gratifying re- 

 sults, the inoculated beans mak- 

 ing a much more vigorous growth, 

 maturing ealier and producing a 

 larger crop than those not inocu- 

 lated. E. W. Underbill, Syosset, 

 L. I. 



I made various practical tests 

 with Farmogerm on my farm with 

 clover, beans, peas and alfalfa 

 with most satisfactory results.

 dustrial & Agricultural Chemist. 



I used Farmogerm on Alfalfa. . 

 . . . The stand is the finest I 

 have ever seen in this country-

I planted Red Clover last year 

 treated with Farmogerm. It was 

 greatly benefited. This year I 

 planted corn on the same land 

 and on adjoining land. Corn 

 on the land where inoculated 

 clover was grown was better and 

 matured earlier. Geo. T. Powell, 

 Ghent, N. Y. , Pres. Agricultural 

 Expert Ass'n. 



I sowed 1 acre of alfalfa in- 

 oculated with Farmogerm. It 

 has come up evenly and I have 

 a good stand. I have tried al- 

 falfa before but never succeeded 

 in getting such a good stand as 

 I have at the present time, W,
