GOOD SEEDS DESERVE INOCULATION—USE McQUEEN’S 
HARDY SOIL BACTERIA FOR ALL LEGUMES 
Crop Increasing Soil Enriching 
NITROGEN, one of the elements existing in a free state In 
the air, is necessary in the soil for all forms of plant life 
to thrive. It is the basis of certain expensive fertilizers 
known as “nitrates.” In a natural way it is drawn into 
the soil by bacteria that thrive on the roots of legume 
crops such as alfalfa, clovers, peas, beans, soybeans and 
vetches. 
These NITROGEN-fixing BACTERIA, as they are called, 
must be introduced into the soil when the seed is sown. As 
the plants grow, the bacteria form nodules on the roots. 
The nodules become filled with NITROGEN that is pumped 
from the air by the bacteria. Part of this NITROGEN 
enters the plant and increases its growth and productivity. 
The remainder stays in the nodules and is later released 
into the soil for the betterment of following crops. 
LEGUMES WITHOUT NODULES ARE SOIL-ROBBERS, 
as they take the nitrogen from the soil instead of from 
the air. 
McQUEEN’S INOCULATOR contains these hardy NITRO¬ 
GEN-fixing bacteria in concentrated form. Simply mix the 
INOCULATOR with the seed, either with or without water. 
As plant life starts, the bacteria begin working on the 
roots, forming nodules which fill with Nitrogen that not 
only feeds the growing plant but also affords nourishment 
for later crops. 
LEGUME INOCULATION is an inexpensive source of 
Nitrogen fertilizer. It pays even where legumes have been 
grown before. 
For seventeen years McQUEEN’S INOCULATOR has been 
used successfully and profitably by farmers all over the 
world. It is guaranteed to produce nodules on legumes or 
goods will be replaced or purchase money returned.

“We tried your seeds a year ago, end they were 
certainly fine. The Old Virginia Ensilage Com grew 
stalks 16y£ feet tall. Four acres, checked three stalks 
in a hill, filled an SO ton silo, and made excellent feed. 
It was the biggest piece of Corn I ever raised .” — Earl 
A. Valentine, Mich. 
“Last year I planted 8 acres in Old Virginia Corn 
and filled two silos holding 124 tons and had at least 
15 tons left. Now I am ordering for myself and four 
of my neighbors. Next year yon will have a big de¬ 
mand from this section of Country.” —Jas. McGhee,
