CUT DOWN YOUR FERTILIZER BILLS 
Get Your Nitrogen From The Air 
Nitrogen is the most expensive ingredient in the fertilizers you buy, 
although it is plentiful in the air. When legume crops are inoculated 
with STIMUGERM this nitrogen is stored in nodules on the roots. 
All legumes—clovers, alfalfa, beans, peas, vetch, soybeans, cowpeas, pea¬ 
nuts, etc.—will yield far better crops if the seeds are inoculated with 
Stimugerm, and will leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen for the 
benefit of succeeding crops. 
Notice in our illustration the nodules on the root of a plant on which 
STIMUGERM was used. These nodules contain nitrogen. Grow nitro¬ 
gen, don’t buy it.

GROHOMA 
The wonder grain and fodder crop. Grohoma is drougth resisting crop, the production of Grohoma 
under drought conditions is contributed to the deep root system. Grohoma even under drougth con¬ 
ditions has demonstrated its value as a fodder crop yielding well above ten tons per acre. The deep 
root of Grohoma permits a feeding range far below the average range of other grains, a a point 
where the soil contains more minerals, thereby does not draw the substance from the ground which 
is ordinarly used by other crops. The first grain crop, the main or Spike heads mature in about 
90 days, harvest this crop for grain, allowing the branch heads to mature then cut the stalk with 
the branch for bundle or silage feed, another crop of fodder at once comes from the root systeme. 
The leaves of Grohoma runs from 4 to 6 inches in width. Plant 5 pounds per acre twelve inches 
apart in the row. Grohoma has been grown in Western North Carolina for the last five years, and 
has been found very successful yeilding from ten to fifteen tons per acre. Price 5 pounds for $1.00.
