*17 Mr. N. S. Ryder’s farm ad¬ 
joins the Harrisburg (Pa.) 
Airport. Mr. Ryder decided to in¬ 
oculate his Alfalfa Seed, using Hoff¬ 
man’s Inoculant. Certain of his 
friends told him he was wasting his 
money. He treated part of his seed 
anyway. Later in the summer Mr. Ry¬ 
der planted a large field to Soy Beans. 
Just to satisfy himself, he did not in¬ 
oculate one drill-full of seed—but did 
treat all the other. Wish you could 
have seen those two fields. There was 
a wonderful difference in each case— 
very greatly in favor of where the In¬ 
oculant was used. This experience of 
Mr. Ryder is exactly like that of great 
numbers of others. Beyond doubt—it 
pays, and pays well to apply Hoff¬ 
man’s Inoculant to your seed.

TREAT ALL LEGUMES WITH 
HOFFMAN'S INOCULANT 
Hoffman’s Inoculant increases the yield and quality of legume 
crops . . . gives quicker growth—earlier maturity . . . makes legumes 
grow, when they otherwise cannot be grown. It supplies nitrogen 
to other crops that grow with the inoculated legume crop. 
For Red Clover—Alfalfa—Soy Beans—Sweet Clover—Vetch— 
Alsike—Canada Peas—Cow Peas—Korean Lespedeza. 
Inoculate your seed. Leading agricultural authorities say, "It 
pays to use inoculant." Tests everywhere prove that inoculated seed 
produces bigger and better crops. 
Inoculate the seeds with the right bacteria. Then these legume 
plants will form little sacs on their roots. In these sacs they store 
up nitrogen which they draw from the air. This nitrogen not only 
helps these plants themselves, but is also left in the ground for you. 
It only costs about 20 cents to inoculate an acre of Alfalfa with 
bacteria, which will gather about 100 pounds of nitrogen worth 
$20 to $30 annually. This bacteria may live there in the soil for 
many years. Cost is so small—the benefits so great—that it pays to 
inoculate every leg¬ 
ume seeding with a 
fresh, pure culture, 
even though the land 
has been previously 
inoculated. 
Hoffman’s Inocu¬ 
lant is guaranteed to 
be a pure, live, fresh 
culture . . . and to 
produce nodules. 
Hoffman’s Inoculant 
is prepared by skilled 
bacteriologists in one 
of the country’s best 
laboratories. It is en¬ 
dorsed by Govern¬ 
ment authorities. 
Very easily applied 
to seed, prepared in 
humus form.

ALFALFA 
Alfalfa is certainly the great crop of this generation. What a 
life-saver it has been on thousands of America’s farms these last 
several years! Especially in times of drought! 
It’s a great satisfaction here at Hoffman's to know of the immense 
success so many thousand farmers of Pennsylvania and nearby States 
have had with Hoffman’s Alfalfa Seed. The files here at our office 
contain hundreds of splendid reports from men who know—from 
their own experience—that it has paid them well to sow Hoffman’s 
Seed. . . . True, in some cases, they could have bought other seed 
for a little less money. But they wanted the crop . . . and they 
got it . . . and they went about it in the right way . . . they bought 
the very top quality seed their money could buy . . . and it paid 
them well to do it! So will it pay you! These pages truly offer 
you the very cream of quality, in the very finest Alfalfa seed this 
country has produced this year. Sow it on your farm. . . . Results 
will please you—and pay you well! See following pages.
