To Enrich the Land and Keep it Rich Without the 

 Continuous Expense of High Priced Fertilizers 



Commercial fertilizers are to be recommended for certain condi- 

 tions, but for general soil improvement they are too expensive. The 

 growing of inoculated legumes for both ha\- and m een manure will 

 bring back your worn out soil to a fertile and iiemianeui ly produc- 

 tive condition. They will add nltrosen to ihe soil by means ot the 

 nitrogen sacks or nodules produced upon their roots by the uitroi;en 

 ti.Nlag bacteria. Fei-tillzer value eeiuivaleiu to IDdti lbs. of nitrate of 

 soda per acre may be deposited by the legumes during their grow th. 



In addition to this the yield aud quality of the lefz uirie is increased. 

 We lecommend it to all our customers as being alisoliitely relialile.
