Scottsbluff , Nebraska. 



Gentlemen:— I am m receipt of your letter of October 8t'h, inquir- 

 ing as to the results 1 obtained this season by the use of Farmogerm 

 for inoculating alfalfa seed. I take much pleasure in advising you 

 that I am an enthusiastic convert to Faimogerm, and that the results 

 secured by its use were -^U that the most exacting could ask for. This 

 stand v/as the best that i have ever seen and after harvesting sixty 

 bushel of oats per acre that weighed 40 pounds to the bushel, which 

 I planted as a cover crop with the alfalfa, I irrigated the land and have 

 just cut a crop of alfalfa of good quality and fair yield. The full 

 benefit from the use of Farmogerm will make itself even more appar- 

 ent, I am confident, in the yield of hay next season. 



I would suggest, except under irrigation, where water can be 

 applied to the land just as needed, no grain be planted with the alfalfa 

 as a cover crop, and that in all instances, the land be carefully pre- 

 pared and the seed be planted very shallow. Many_ fail to secure a 

 good stand of alfalfa by putting in seed to deep. With kind regards, 

 and best wishes for your continued success, believe me, 



Very truly yours, (Signed) Hey ward G. Leavitt. 



P. S.— I planted 400 acres in all to alfalfa, all of theseedfor which 

 was treated with Farmogerm. 



Grand Valley, Colo, 

 Dear Sirs:— Your Company has been recommended to me by 

 H. G. Leavitt, of Scottsbluff, Neb. I am writing to ask you to send 

 me some of your pamphlets or any imformation that you may have in 

 regard to using your bacteria with alfalfa seed. ^ We will plant about 

 200 acres of alfalfa in the spring, and 1 would like very much to use 

 your bacteria in connection with the seed, as I have seen some won- 

 derful results around Scottsbluff, Neb. Hoping to have an early 

 answer, Yours truly, 



(Signed) R. Havemeyer.

Gentlemen: — I put in a piece of alfalfa at Orchard Farm the past 

 summer that has made a most remarkable growth. On July 1st, 1 ,500 



Prof. Jacob G. Lipman, of the New Jersey Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, states that he got good results from the use 

 of Farmogerm for Alfalfa, Cowpeas and Garden Peas.

 "My plot of crimson ^ clover v^^hich was inoculated with Far- 

 mogerm is about three times better than the uninoculated; it is exceed- 

 ingly 1 uxuriant while the other is straggly, pale and not worth cutting. ' ' 



J. N. Harper, Director, South Carolina Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, "i have your letter of Oct. 21st with 

 the enclosed letters from gentlemen who have tried your Farmogerm 

 and found it to be of great value. We have tested Farmogerm in a 

 small way and from results obtained are very much pleased with it." 



Charles B. Morrey, of the Ohio State University. 

 "The organisms were obtained in pure culture from each sample sent. 

 The pot experiments also show that the cultures were virulent in that 

 nodules were formed on the plants tested, while the control pots showed 

 no nodules. The experiments were satisfactory in every respect." 



L. B. Judson, N. Y. College of Agriculture. "I take 

 pleasure in stating that I have every confidence in your method of pre- 

 paring cultures of bacteria for inoculating the various leguminous crops. 

 1 believe that the processes you use have all the_ value you claim for 

 them, and that your method of air bottles in which you send out cul- 

 tures, is a very valuable device. Your work, to me, seems full of 

 great promise to the farming industry." 



pounds of lime was applied per acre and the same amount of basic 

 slag , The seed was inoculated with the alfalfa bacteria you sent and 

 sown on the 20th of July. In forty-seven days the plants reached 

 tw^enty-seven inches in height and in sixty days, when cut, they mea- 

 sured thirty -two inches. This is equal to any acre of irrigated alfalfa 

 in the country. Shall put in more of it next season. 



Yours truly, (Signed) George T. Powell. 



Ivanhoe, N. C. 



Gentlemen: — In reply to your inquiry of the 8th inst , I will say 

 that I used Farmogerm according to the instructions given, on cow- 

 peas, planting the same between corn on various kinds of land. Old 

 worn out sand-land with yellow subsoil, stiff clay land, and black fri- 

 able land. The season was very unfavorable; soon after planting 

 there was a long wet spell followed by a drought that has lasted until 

 the present time.^ The consequence of the season is, many of the pea 

 plants died from want of moisture and the weed is small but quite full 

 of fruit averaging a very fair crop. All these lands are old worn land 

 that will not produce peas of itself, so I feel repaid for my trouble and 

 expense in using Farmogerm, notwithstanding the unfavorable circum- 

 stances. The corn also was considerably benefited by Farmogerm. 

 I consider it more beneficial to growing crops than any commercial 

 fertilizer I have tried. 



Yours truly, (Signed) E. E. Sessoms.

Gentlemen:— Yours of the 8th before me and in reply am gkd to 

 say that 1 received a very fine stand of clover from seed inoculated 

 with Farmogerm. The land is of a clay, not very heavy, was well 

 limed, sowed to buckwheat which was ploughed in green, then last 

 fall the piece was sowed to rye and timothy. This spring the clover 

 inoculated with Farmogerm was sown broad-cast and it is now looking 

 like a well-kept lawn, rich green. The clover looks remarkably 

 healthy and growthy. I will need some more Farmogerm early next 

 spring. Respectfully (Signed) R. P. Watson. 



F. O. Clark, Berea College, Ky. "Your letter of Oc- 

 tober 2 1 st inquiring as to the results obtained from the use of Farmo- 

 germ, is at hand. In our school garden we planted several plots in 

 sweet peas and Canadian field peas, using Farmogerm on every other 

 plot. I was quite surprised to find the plants grown in the plot where 

 Farmogerm was used, were nearly twice the size of those on the other 

 plot. This teft indicates that your bacteria are of the right sort, and 

 well put up. Wishing you success in extending the use of Farmogerm 

 and thus the use of legumes." 



P. E. Crabtree, Kansas State Agriculturral College, re- 

 garding experiments in Mexico: "Regarding the application of Far- 

 mogerm which I made the year before, the alfalfa had developed 

 nodules and had come into full bloom nicely, and if cared for w^ould 

 have succeeded and thrived — in other words, the application was a 

 success. The soy beans developed these nodules and thrived splen- 

 didly, although it was the first time introduced into that valley. As 

 regards cow peas— if possible their thriftiness was increased althoush 

 they thrive nicely in that soil anyhow.***" 



Louisiana State University. Experiment in North Louisiana, 

 with alfafia, shows a yield of 6004 lbs. per acre, where Farmogerm 

 and lime was used, and a yield of 720 lbs. per acre where no Farmo- 

 germ or lime was used— a gain of 8335*. 



DONT YOU THINK IT PAYS TO USE FARMOGERM?
