FARMOGERM 
That may be a new way of putting it, but it’s pretty close to facts. The most 
costly element of commercial fertilizer is nitrogen and is usually estimated as being 
worth about 17 cents per pound. Practically all our soils are short of nitrogen. 
The clovers, cow peas, vetch, peas, beans, alfalfa and some other leguminous plants 
all have the power to draw plenty of nitrogen from the air if — there are present 
what are called the nitrogen gathering bacteria in the soil to attach themselves to 
the roots. These bacteria on the roots of this class of plants are necessary to enable 
the plant to do full work in nitrogen gathering. If they are not present the crop 
will be more or less of a failure. Plenty of bacteria means rank growing crops, 
their absence means sickly looking plants. When successful crops of any of these 
plants mentioned have been grown before there are bacteria in the soil for them, 
but on new ground or ground where these crops have not been grown the bacteria 
must be supplied before full success can come. The best and easiest way is to sup- 
ply them in the shape of Farmogerm. It costs $2.00 per acre to inoculate. The 
Farmogerm comes in sealed bottles. All you have to do is add water, then moisten 
the seed before planting and your soil then becomes thoroughly inoculated at seed 
sowing. It’s the quickest, cheapest, easiest way to improve soil there is. 
This Farmogerm is not for direct use on crops like corn, cotton, oats, sorghum, 
millet, etc. When used on all kinds of clovers, cow peas, soja beans these crops ac- 
cumulate a great store of nitrogen on the roots. These decay after the leguminous 
crop is cut off and the nitrogen is available in the soil for succeeding crops of cot- 
ton, corn or grain. In effect, it helps make your soil richer for succeeding crops as 
well as making far better clover, alfalfa, cow peas, soja beans or peanuts. 
We believe that every farmer and gardener wants better crops and lower fertilizer 
cost. Farmogerm will do both. We will gladly send you special booklet on this sub- 
ject. Price, S2.00 per acre bottle; postpaid. Each crop needs a different species or 
variety of bacteria. State what crop you want it for when ordering. We have 
Farmogerm for Red Clover, Crimson Clover, White Clover, Alfalfa or Fucerne, 
Garden Peas, Garden Beans, Soja Beans, Vetch and Peanuts. Can also supply a 
mixed culture for garden peas and beans to plant about 400 feet of row for 50 cents; 
postpaid.. Also trial size bottles of Farmogerm for Alfalfa to inoculate seed for 
acre for 50 cents.
