“DRY INOC”ULATE ALL LEGUME SEEDS FOR EFFICIENT 
GROWTH AND SOIL IMPROVEMENT. 
benefactor. 
All growing crops require nitrogen. The purpose of inoculation, 
as it relates to legume seeds, is to produce root nodules containing 
bacteria which will assist nature in taking free nitrogen from the 
atmosphere and storing it in the soil. The nitrogen which is 
gathered in this way helps not only the crop which has been 
inoculated, but enriches the soil as well. All authorities agree that 
inoculated legume crops are far superior to uninoculated crops. Inocu¬ 
lated legume crops are placed in the rotation to enrich the soil, 
as well as for their crop value. Unless the leguminous plant is well 
inoculated, at each sowing, the purpose of the rotation has been 
defeated in that the crop may then be a soil robber instead of a 
Inoculation increases crop yield, as well as the quality of the crop. Inoculated 
plants are darker in colour, more vigorous, set more seed and have a better chance 
to survive adverse weather conditions. 
Dry-Inoc is a black powder form. It is merely mixed with the seed before 
sowing. It sticks to the seed without wetting and is easy to use. Full directions 
are on each can of Dry-Inoc. 
The nitrogen fixing bacteria live in the tiny particles of Dry-Inoc, the base used 
containing sufficient moisture to maintain bacterial life, although it feels dry and is 
used dry on dry seed. 
The inoculation of seeds has been common practice for many years and it is 
now realized that good results are obtained only when the following conditions apply: 
1. When the seed bed has been properly prepared. 
2. When the soil is sweet. 
3. When good seeds are used. 
4. When the inoculant is fresh and vigorous.
