of Nitrogen ftom the Air at *2 per Acre 
^"ITROGEN is the element that most frequently determines the size 
of the crop. Non-legume crops rob the soil of nitrogen. A 20- 
bushel wheat crop takes 28 pounds of nitrogen out of an acre of soil. 
Nitrogen must, by some method, be added to your soil to offset the 
ravages of robber crops. 
Nature has provided the legumes, which gather nitrogen from the 
air, and when plowed under, leave a rich deposit of nitrogen in the soil. 
The nitrogen-gathering ability of legumes depends upon the presence 
of certain bacteria. 
TFarmogerm is a culture which furnishes millions of these nitiogen-fixing bacteria, 
whose purity and vigor have been determined over a period of ten 
years. It is the only inoculant in which the life of the bacteria can 
be guaranteed for years. Farmogerm bacteria remain alive and active 
because the bottle has the patented glass and rubber stopper. 
This stopper enables the bacteria to breathe purified air, without 
which they lose their nitrogen-fixing powers. 
Bacteria in all inoculums live on air. but ordinary unsterilized 
air kills them. The purified air that reaches Farmogerm bacteri* 
gives them life and vigor for years. 
In soils so depleted of nitrogen that you have been unable to 
grow alfalfa, clover or vetch, usually inoculation is the thing lack¬ 
ing. You can therefore plant inoculated seed and insure a healthy, 
vigorous stand. 
Farmogerm is prepared for alfalfa, clover, 
vetch, cow peas, soy beans, peanuts, lucerne, 
peas, beans, sweet peas and all legumes.

Milk Robs the Farm 
Many dairy farmers have learned by expe¬ 
rience that, when milk is sold off the farm year 
after year, the land gets poorer. The animal 
manure alone is not enough to maintain fertility. 
BOWKER’S FERTILIZERS 
and Stockbridge Special Manures 
will help you to maintain and improve the fertility of your 
land. They will enable you to keep more live stock, by 
growing bigger crops o’f hay and grain. This means more 
milk to sell and'more manure to return to the land. 
We offer potash grades for all crops. 
Send for our new combined Almanac-Calendar now ready. If 
we have no agent in your town, ask for the agency yourself.
