INOCULATE with 
Genuine Nitragin 
Often the lack of inocula¬ 
tion of a legume crop means 
the difference between failure 
and success. Almost always 
the crop can be improved by 
inoculation. Tests have def¬ 
initely proven that yields may 
be improved as much as a 
half a ton per acre by inocu¬ 
lating alfalfa. Sweet Clover 
grows more vigorously, pro¬ 
vides m ore pasture and is 
higher in protein content 
when inoculated. 
TAKE NO CHANCE 
INOCULATE— 
NITRAGIN 
The cost per acre is so small 
it is the cheapest insurance 
you can take out. Good seed 
and good inoculation insures 
you pf the best crops and big¬ 
gest yields. 
We have only the one in¬ 
oculation—the only and orig¬ 
inal Nitragin. Every can is 
dated for your protection so 
you can be assured of abso¬ 
lutely fresh, live bacteria. 
' Nitragin has the legume count 
shown on each can. Handy to 
use—directions on each can. 
Be sure and tell on what 
seed you want to use inocu¬ 
lation.

These two pictures show 
the difference between seed 
which is inoculated before 
sowing and seed which is un¬ 
inoculated, proving that seeds 
need inoculation to give the 
biggest and most vigorous 
growth.
