Kelly’s Inoculators 
(In bottles) 
is a wet inoculator having a jelly base. Also have the same bacteria in humus base 
but prefer the jelly medium to all others. We have come to this conclusion after 
years of experimenting with both wet and dry inoculators. 
Kelly Inoculator is made for us under our own label, by a reliable manufacturer 
at Urbana, Ill., and can be depended upon to give excellent results. 
This culture meets all the requirements as to method of manufacture and appli¬ 
cation as laid down by the United States Department of Agriculture and various 
agricultural colleges. Apply to seed with water, and plant as quickly thereafter as 
possible. Directions on every bottle. 
Always inoculate legume seeds before planting is a good rule to follow. Alfalfa, 
Sweet Clover, Red Clover, Soy Beans—all of these should be inoculated. Inoculation 
enables the plants to take nitrogen from the air and store it in the soil. It makes 
for bigger yield of forage and seed, for better quality in the crop (higher protein 
content), and the soil is enriched in nitrogen and organic matter. Don’t risk crop 
failures or soil depletion by failure to inoculate. It simply does not pay to neglect 
this.

Kelly’s Humus Inoculator 
This bacteria is grown in a moist humus which proves ideal for this purpose. Some 
prefer this form of inoculator as it is very easy to apply, especially for soy beans. The 
humus is in a fine black dust form, just enough moisture in it for good growth of the 
bacteria. 
PRICES 
Same as the jelly inoculator with additional sizes as follows for soy beans: 
10 bushel size.$1.25 20 bushel size.$2.00 
Lespedeza Seed Should Be Inoculated 
It is very essential to inooulate Lespedeza seed. We have a special inoculator for this, same price 
as other clovers. This season on account of the scarcity of money you may think you can get by 
without inoculating seeds, but do not think you can. You are only making bad worse by so doing. Na¬ 
ture requires the same whether good times or bad. Inoculate every legume you plant. It pays big 
both in increased yield and benefits to soil. 
RAPE SEED 
For several years we have been large importers of both 
Holland and Japanese rape seed, having an all water 
route almost to our door, this giving us a very low freight 
rate and puts us in a position to make very low prices 
on this article. Rape seed is higher this year on account 
of a duty of 2c per pound which went into effect last 
August, and which should have never been put on, as 
rape seed is not produced in our country, and does not 
come in competition with home grown commodities. 
Holland Dwarf Essex Rape 
This is the best to buy producing large broad leaved 
plants. This variety produces more feed than any other. 
Few farmers realize that rape seed has about the same 
proportion of food value as good alfalfa. 
Sow as soon as the ground is warmed up (usually by 
the time oats are seeded), using a bushel of oats and 12 
to 15 pounds of rape seed per acre. The cost is small 
for the amount of feed produced. An acre of rape seed 
after having gotten a fair start will produce more feed 
than anything you can grow. Price, small lots, 12c per 
pound; 25 to 100 pounds, 10c per pound; 100 pounds or 
more, $8.50. 
Japanese Dwarf Essex Rape 
A smaller plant, leaves more crinkled, seed of a reddish 
cast instead of black like Holland rape, smaller seed, and 
looks more like turnip seed. Sow about the same amount 
as the Holland. Price, small lots, 10c per pound; 25 to 
100 pounds, 9c per pound; 10O pounds or over, $7.50. 
Dwarf Essex Rape makes good feed for 
sheep and hogs 
SEED 
Good heavy seed oats suitable for seed will be 
scarce in many sections this spring. We were for¬ 
tunate in getting about 15,000 bushel of good heavy 
oats weighing from 30 to 37 pounds per bushel. 
OATS 
These oats will be well recleaned, bagged in heavy 
burlap bags holding four bushel each, for which 
we charge 10c each. 
GOPHER, the highest yielding of all varieties. 
Medium early maturing. Medium straw which is 
very stiff. Stands up when other oats gd flat. One 
of the best varieties to grow. Price, small lots, 75c 
fou.; 25 bu. or more, 70c bu. A white oat. 
IOWAR, a good variety of white oats. Stands 
up well. Produces a fair amount of straw. Usually 
ripens in this section about the 7th of July. Price, 
small lots, 75c bu.; 25 bu. or more, 70c bu. 
Bagged four bushels to a bag for which we charge 
10 cents each.
