When ordering, state crop to be inoculated — there 
is a different bacteria for each legume. 
Inoculated legumes, alfalfa, clover, peas or beans, 
will draw from the air 150 pounds per acre of free 
nitrogen, adding it to the soil for the benefit of 
future generations of crops. This is nearly as much 
nitrogen as is contained in 1,000 pounds of Nitrate 
of Soda, worth today $100 per ton. 
Raise legumes — grow alfalfa, clovers, soys, vetch, 
peas — they are valuable feed crops— .-but give them 
the utmost chance, INOCULATE them, and they 
will draw from the air the free nitrogen, giving the 
plants a tremendous growth, vigor and vitality, in- 
creasing both the yield and the quality. They will 
not only supply themselves with nitrogen, but will 
draw far more than the present crop can use, storing 
the balance in the nodules, and from thence, as they 
decay, into the soil, where the future crops can 
get it — all of it. 
Will your land now grow alfalfa, clover, soys? If 
it does, it will grow larger and better crops by 
inoculation. If you can't grow these crops success- 
fully, try inoculation. It is probably just what you 
need to secure success. 
Seed, labor, land — all cost money. Get the utmost 
out of them. A few dollars spent for inoculation will 
come back to you many fold.

The principal reasons for inoculation can 
be stated in five short paragraphs, viz.: 
First: — Inoculated legumes take nitrogen 
from the air to supply the plant, resulting in 
faster growth, earlier maturity and larger 
crops. 
Second: — Inoculated legumes take up more 
nitrogen than the plant, itself requires, the 
surplus remaining to the benefit of future 
crops. 
Third: — Inoculated legumes develop larger 
root systems than when not Inoculated and 
therefore reach the immense stores of potash 
and phosphorovis in the sub soil, bringing 
them up to supply the plant. When the roots 
and stubble decay these elements are returned 
to the soil in a form available to future 
crops. 
Fourth: — Inoculated legumes, by taking 
their nitrogen from the air, save the soil. 
When not inoculated they drain the soil of 
its nitiogen just the same as wheat or tim- 
othy or other non leguminous plants. 
Fifth: — Inoculated legumes contain more 
protein matter than when not inoculated, 
greatly increasing their feeding value. 
Summary: — Inoculation hastens maturity, 
increases the crop, improves its quality, en- 
riches the soil and saves fertilizer bills.
