WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE YOU CAN DO! 
PROF. JACOB G. LIPMAN. of the NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL 
E.XPERIMENT STATION, states that he got good results from the use of Farmo- 
germ for Alfalfa, Cowpeas, and Garden peas. 
E. B. FRED, VIRGINIA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA¬ 
TION, says: “All of Old Process showed contamination. Mostly moulds. Farmo- 
germ was entirely free from contamination.” 
WM. T. BROOKS, Director MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 
EIXPERIMENT STATION, says; “In reply to your letter of the 2Ist inst., 1 
beg to say that the only one of your cultures which we found it possible to try during the 
past ummer is the culture for alfalfa, and we are naturally unable to make a final report 
at this lime. 
We made four different comparisons between seed treated with your culture in ac¬ 
cordance with directions and untreated seed and at the present lime find that conditions 
are about as follows: 
1. In the case of two of the comparative tests, the growth of the alfalfa which 
was sown early in August is materially belter where your culture was used. It is ranker 
and of a darker green color. 
2. In the case of the other two comparisons there is but little difference; but we 
judge that the alfalfa where the inoculated seed was sown is slightly better than the 
other. 
3. ^ Examination of the roots shows that in the case of all four comparisons, nodules 
are quite numerous on the roots where your culture was used, but relatively few where 
the uninoculated seed was sown.” 
W. S. SAVER, of the MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTUAL COL¬ 
LEGE says: Pure cultures of nodule bacteria suitable for the various legumes may be 
used in inoculating the seed just previous to sowing. This method has been us^ very 
extensively during the past three years, usually with marked success.” 
MAURICE MULVANIA, of the UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. 
says : I found the bottle of material sent me to contain a pure culture of living Pseu¬ 
domonas radicicola.” 
GEORGE W. CARVER, DIRECTOR TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, 
ALA., says ; “ My plot of crimson clover which^ was inoculated with Farmogerm is 
about three times better than the uninoculated; it i^exceedingly luxuriant while the other 
is straggly, pale and not worth cutting.”

OenUemen :~1 am in reppt of your letter of October 8th, inquiring as to the 
results 1 oblamed this season by the use of Farmogerm for inoculating alfalfa seed I 
take rnuch pleasure in advising you that I am an enthusiastic convert to Farmogerm and 
that the results secured by its use were all that the most exacting could ask for ’This 
stand was the b«t that I have ever seen and after harvesting sixty bushels of oats per 
affatfa J ^o^the bushel, which 1 planted as a cover crop with the 
-... .w... au<j /icju ui nay next season. 
• . * j^^SSesl except under irrigation, where water can be applied to the land 
just as need^, no gram be planted with the alfalfa as a cover crop, and that in all in¬ 
stances, the land be carefu ly prepared and the seed be planted very shallow. Many 
tail to secure a good stand of alfalfa by putting in seed too deep. With kind regards, 
and best wishes ror your continued success, believe me,

Dear Sirs Your Company has been recommended to me by FI. G. Leavitt, of 
pcoltsblufr, iNeb. 1 am vvnlmg to ask you to send me some of your pamphlets or any 
intorrnation that you may have in regards to using your bacteria with alfalfa seed. We 
will plant about 200 acres of alfalfa in the spring, and I would like very much to use 
your bacteria in connection with the seed, as I have seen some wonderful results around

Gentlemen :--Il is rny intention to plant between 400 and 800 acres in alfalfa 
this spnng and 1 shouldjike to inoculate all of the seed and, as you know am favorably 
inclined towards your dope as my foreman calls it. As you suggest, will you please 
send me a special estimate on quantities furring from 400 to 800 acres, and oblige. 
Yours very truly, (Signed) HAYWARD G. LEAVITT. 
EDWARD R. MINNS, INSTRUCTOR, CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 
N. Y., says We are studying the problem of producing more and belter forage per 
acre by planting beans with com intended for silage, and so far we feel quite certain that 
some form of inoculation for the beans is necessary to success.” 
SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTUR- 
AL EXPERIMENT STATION, says: “1 have your letter of Oct. 21 si with the 
enclosed letters from gentlemen who have tried your Farmogerm, and found it to be of 
great value. We have tested Farmogerm in a small way and from the results obtained 
are very much pleased with it.” 
CHAS. B. MORREY, of the OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, says; “In 
reply to your inquiry concerning the cultures which you sent me last spring for test, 
I will say that as you remember, the cultures were to be used for laboratory tests only’ 
and not for field experiments. The cultures were given to advanced students, to 
have them isolate the organisms if present, and to make pot cultures of the different 
varieties of legumes to determine whether the organisms were ‘virulent’or not. The 
organisms vvere obtained in pure culture from each sample sent. The pot experiments 
alsoshow that the cultures were virulent in that nodules were formed on the plants 
tested while ihe pontrol pots showed no nodules. The experiments were satisfactory 
in every respect. 
L. B..JUDSON, N. Y. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, says: “I take 
pleasure m slating that I have every confidence in your method of preparing cultures 
of bactena for inoculating the various leguminous crops. 1 believe that the processes 
you use have all the value you claim for them, and that your method of air bottles in 
which you send out cultures, is a very valuable device. 
Your work to me seems full of great promise for the farming industry.” 
F. O. CLARK, BEREA COLLEGE, KY., says; “Your letter of October 
2 I st inquinng as to the results obtained from the use of Farmogerm, is at hand. In our 
school garden we planted several plots in sweet peas and Canadian Field Peas, using 
Farmogerm on every other plot. 1 was quite surprised to find the plants grown in the 
dots where Farmogerm was used, were nearly twice the size of those on the other plot 
1 his test indicates that your bacteria are of the right sort, and well put up. Wishing 
you success in extending the use of Farmogerm and thus the use of legumes.

Gentlemen :—In reply to your letter asking me as to results from the use of Farmo¬ 
germ, 1 wish to say that while I did not make any tests, and the alfalfa area of my vine¬ 
yard is only limited sull the seed came up satisfactorily where I had applied Farmogerm 
and very unsatisfactorily on a strip alongside a ditch where no Farmogerm was applied 
so 1 have no hesitancy m saying that I believe the Farmogerm to be all you claim for it.’ 
Yours very truly, (Signed) J. G. FUNCH.

Gentlemen ; I put in a piece of alfalfa at Orchard Farm the past summer that has 
made a most remarkable growth. On July 1st 1,500 pounds of lime was applied per 
acre and the same amount of basic slag. The seed was inoculated with the alfalfa 
bactena you sent and sown on the 20th of July. 
In forty-seven days the plants reached twenty-seven inches in height and in sixty days 
when cut they measured thirty-two inch^. This is equal to any acre of irrigated alfal¬ 
fa in the country. Shall put in more of it next year. 
Yours truly, (Signed) GEORGE T. POWELL. 
^ , ... Ivanhoe, N. C., Oct. 20, 1909. 
Gentlemen ;—In reply to your inquiry of the 8th inst., I will say that I used Farm- 
ogerm according to the instructions given on cowpeas; planting the same between com 
on various kinds of land. Old worn out sand-land with yellow subsoil, stiff clay land, 
and black fnabie land. The season was very unfavorable; soon after planting there 
was a long wet spell followed by a drought that has lasted until the present lime. The 
consequence of the season is, many of the pea plants died from want of moisture and the 
weed is small but quite full of fruit, averaging a very fair crop. All these lands are old 
worn land that will not produce peas of itself, so Ifeel repaid for my trouble and ex¬ 
pense in using Farrnogerm, notwithstanding the unfavorable circumstances. The com 
also was considerably benefited by Farmogerm. I consider it more beneficial to grow¬ 
ing crops than any commercial fertilizer I have tried. 
Yours truly, (Signed) E. E. SESSOMS.

Gentlemen ; Yours of the 8lh before me and in reply am glad to say that 1 receiv¬ 
ed a very fine stand of clover from seed inoculated with Farmogerm. The land is of a 
clay, not very heavy, was well limed, sow^ to buckwheat which was plow^ in green, 
then last fall the piece was sowed to rye and timothy. This spring the clover inoculat^ 
With Fannogerm was sown broad-cast and i t is now looking like a well-kept lawn, rich 
green. The clover looks remarkably healthy and growthy. 
1 will need some more Farmogerm early next spring.
