stock. Grimm Alfalfa can be distinguished from other varieties 
by its blossoms, which are yellow, blue green, etc., instead of 
all purple and by its branching root system. The great hardiness

Why You Should Grow 
ALFALFA 
It Is always advisable to inoc¬ 
ulate Alfalfa. 
ft contains as much protein as 
wheat bran. 
It does not exhaust but en¬ 
riches the soil. 
It produces from three to 
eight tons of hay to the acre. 
One acre will pasture 20 hogs 
for 6 months. 
Thirty-five pounds makes a 
full feed for fattening steers. 
A lamb will winter and thrive 
on three pounds a day. 
There is no state in the Union 
where ALFALFA cannot be suc¬ 
cessfully grown. 
A SECOND CUTTING OF GRIMM 
Dickinson’s Humus Inoculation 
Now you inoculate your alfalfa, clover,, soybean or other 
legume seed without the use of water and stiil be sure of a 
growth of soil-improving root nodules as full and vigorous as 
was formerly possible to obtain only by the use of bottle or 
“jelly” type cultures. 
Dickinson’s New Humus Inoculation has been perfected after 
careful study and experiment in the country’s largest commer¬ 
cial soil bacteriological laboratory. Each culture contains mil- 
ions of vigorous root nodules bacteria living in a specially 
blended humus substance which can be mixed with the seed 
dry, just as it comes from the can. Every can contains plenty 
of culture material to fully inoculate the quantity of seed for 
which it is intended. 
Full directions are printed on the label. No skill or exper¬ 
ience is required to get good results with Dickinson’s Humus 
Inoculation. It is safe and easy to use and produces sure re¬ 
sults at a cost of only a few cents per acre. Only a few min¬ 
utes are required to inoculate the seed which can then be sown 
immediately. Many growers now prefer Dickinson’s Humus In¬ 
oculation because of the handy form and the ease with which 
it is used. 
This inoculation is put up for Alfalfa, Clovers, Soy Beans, 
Field Peas and Beans. Always mention for what crop inocula¬ 
tion Is wanted.
