replanting expense more than pays for 2% Ceresan’s small cost.

Seed Potatoes 
Living bacteria in a base of rela¬ 
tively low moisture content which 
adheres to dry seed without the use 
of water. Recommended because 
of its ease of application. 
ONLY THE BEST STRAINS of 
bacteria are used. They have been 
selected from a large collection and 
are the best now available. 
CULTURES OF MORE THAN 
adequate size are supplied to in¬ 
sure results even under unfavorable conditions. 
PROMPT DELIVERY is desirable as fresh cultures are much 
more effective than old ones. To insure the use of fresh cultures 
we only permit their sale within four months after preparation.

All legumes — plants that bear 
their seed in pods—like peas, beans, 
alfalfa, form a partnership at the 
roots with certain kinds of health¬ 
ful bacteria called legume germs, 
that are able to draw nitrogen from 
the air and give it to the plant. They 
form on the roots in colonies look¬ 
ing like lumps, called nodules. 
Without these germs, legumes 
would rob the soil for nourishment 
and have a sickly growth, for few 
soils contain a natural supply. It 
is therefore necessary to “inocu¬ 
late”—apply these nitrogen-gath¬ 
ering germs directly to the seed. 
All agricultural authorities advise 
inoculation of legumes. Every 1- 
bushel size can of Nitragin is packed 
with more than seven billion leg¬ 
ume germs. When ordering, always 
specify kind of seed.

Garden NITRAGIN for 
Causes Spring-Grown Irish Potatoes to Sprout for LATE Crop 
This new, quick method (in use 8 years) has the effect of 
waking the potato or bringing it out of the rest period. 
Read Carefully How to Treat the Seed 
Dig the potatoes and let them dry 3 or 4 weeks before planting. 
Eight hours before planting, cut the seed in pieces about 1 
ounce in weight. Cut small potatoes in two. Dip the cut pota¬ 
toes in solution of Ethylene Chlorhydrin and water as follows:

Allow the potatoes to remain in the solution just long enough 
to become thoroughly wet. Remove and put in a container just 
as near air-tight as possible and let remain there eight hours. 
Remove and store in cool, shady place where temperature is 
under 90 degrees. Do not treat potatoes when temperature is 
above 90 degrees in shade, as it will cause rot. Do not treat with 
any other chemical, as the combined treatments will cause rot. 
Lay off rows in ground that has been well worked, open deep 
furrows so as to cover seed deep; plant early in morning, late 
in afternoon, or on a cloudy day; drop pieces 12 to 15 inches apart, 
cover 4 to 6 inches deep; a low, moist piece of soil. Plant from 
July 1st until last week in August. Many plant early in Sep¬ 
tember in lower Southern territory. It requires 8 to 10 bushels 
to plant an acre.
