THE FACTS MUST BE KNOWN! 
Above are shown three mighty valuable pieces of Hoffman equipment. 
First, the microscope and magnifiers see for Hoffman patrons what the 
human eye cannot detect. The sensitive moisture tester in the center 
quickly tells when Hoffman’s Seed Corn is properly dried, and its germ¬ 
preserving quality thus insured. Last, the electric germinator. Here the 
story is told as to just how the seed grows.

ORCHARD IMPROVEMENT 
Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, Soy Beans, Red Clover, Vetch and Alsike can be used 
to good advantage in improving orchard soils. 
Some of the non-legumes in most common use are the Millets, Sudan Grass, 
Buckwheat, Blue Grass, Red Top and Rye. 
Combinations of these may be used to good advantage. For example. Millet 
and Soy Beans for a cover crop, or Blue Grass, Red Top, and Alsike for a sod. 
In an ORCHARD it is important that a lime and fertilizer program be followed. 
Lime is usually required every five or six years. If the sod or cover crop is not 
properly fertilized, the trees will be robbed of some necessary fertility.
