★ INOCULANT ★ 
Leading agricultural authorities say that it pays to 
inoculate all the legume seeds. Tests everywhere 
prove that inoculated seed produces bigger and 
better crops. 
Be sure to say on your order which seed is to be 
inoculated—because it takes different germs to treat 
the various kinds of seeds. 
When correctly inoculated, these legume plants 
will form little sacs on their roots. In these sacs they 
store up nitrogen which they draw from the air. This 
nitrogen not only helps these plants themselves, but 
is also left in the ground for you. It only costs 10 to 
20 cents to inoculate an acre of Alfalfa with bacteria, 
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 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. Hoff¬ 
man’s Inoculant is prepared by skilled bacteriologists 
in one of the country’s best laboratories. Very easily 
applied to seed, prepared in humus form. 
Below: The right side of this Soy Bean field was sown with in¬ 
oculated seed. . . . The left side was not. . . . See the difference? 
Look between the arrows. See the heavier growth on the right?

carries the precious nitrogen¬ 
bearing nodules . . . the result 
of proper seed inoculation.
