small — the benefits so great -— that it 
pays to inoculate every legume seeding 
with a fresh, pure culture, even though 
the land has been previously inoculated. 
Hoffman’s Inoculant is guaranteed to 
be a pure, live, fresh culture . . . and 
to produce nodules. Hoffman’s Inocu¬ 
lant is prepared by skilled bacteriolo¬ 
gists in one of the country’s best lab¬ 
oratories. It is endorsed by Govern¬ 
ment authorities. Very easily applied 
to seed, prepared in humus form.

seed just before 
it is sowed. 
Be sure to say 
on your order 
which seed is to 
be inoculated— 
because it takes 
different germs 
to treat the vari¬ 
ous kinds of 
seeds. 
When correct- 
ly inoculat¬ 
ed, these legume 
plants will form 
little sacs on 
their roots. In 
these sacs they 
store up nitro¬ 
gen which they 
draw from the 
air. This nitro¬ 
gen not only 
helps these 
plants them¬ 
selves, but is also left in the ground for 
you. It only costs about 20 cents to 
inoculate an acre of Alfalfa with bac¬ 
teria, 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
