Give Your Seeding of Alfalfa, Clover, Peas, Beans, Vetch 
and Other Leguminous Crops the Best Chance to Grow 
At a small cost you can greatly add for your seedling plants conditions for vigor and for the robust growing 
of the crop, and at the same time add to your soil the fertilizer Nitrogen, in commercial quantities. Nitrogen 
is one of the most expensive of fertilizers and is also one of the hardest to keep in the soil. It is, moreover, 
one of the most necessary for plant growth. By inoculating your seed at the time of planting with Farmo- 
germ you can add to the roots of your leguminous crop the bacteria necessary for fixing nitrogen from the 
idlr. 
We do not ask you to believe what cannot be proved, what has not been tried by others and found success- 
ful by them. If it is good you should have the advantage of knowing about this new method of "Fertilizing 
with Air." 
"It has been amply demonstrated, not only by hundreds of years of experience, 
but by numberless carefully conducted experiments in many countries and under 
widely varying conditions, that clover and numerous other legumes, supplied with 
tubercle (nodule) bacteria, obtain from the air, through the agency of these bac- 
teria, 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, besides that taken off in the crop, is esti- 
mated at 200 pounds per acre. In the United States the average for sixteen states 
is 122 pounds, equivalent to not less than 800 to 1,000 pounds of nitrate of soda 
per acre." — Year Book of Department of Agriculture for 1906. 
"The legume has no power to fix nitrogen. This power rests wholly with the bac- 
teria in the nodules on the roots of the legume which do have the power to take the 
free nitrogen from the air and unite it with other elements forming nitrates which 
are dissolved in the juices of the legume."

An eminent authority states, "I would as soon think of preparing an alfalfa field without seed as to sow the seed without inoculation.
