INOCULATION 
WHAT IT IS 
Inoculating is simply the process of 
attaching many, many Germs to the 
roots of Legumes (Plants which bear 
their seeds in pods). The Germs used 
for this purpose are called INOCULA¬ 
TION. The best and most virile are 
born, developed, and prepared in highly 
scientific Laboratories by Expert Bac¬ 
teriologists. These Germs or Bacteria 
are somewhat like yeast in their ability 
to grow and multiply rapidly. Most ev¬ 
ery kind of Legume on account of differ¬ 
ences in growing habits requires a dif¬ 
ferent kind of Germ for Inoculating it. 
The very best Material is real rich 
moist soil filled with many, many billions 
of Nitrogen fixing Bacteria. This is 
packed in small cans all ready for mix¬ 
ing with your Legume Seeds. 
WHY IT PAYS 
Tests made by United States and by State 
Agricultural Departments proves Inoculation 
enables the plants to obtain Nitrogen from 
the air and pass in on the plants for food. 
It often prevents “Crop Failure,” for fre¬ 
quently Legume Crops fail if not Inoculated. 
Has been known to increase Crop Yields sev¬ 
eral hundred percent. It improves the quality 
of the crop and at same time enriches the 
soil. 
“INOCULATION MAY WELL BE CALL¬ 
ED CROP INSURANCE.” 
EASY TO USE 
Can be used moist or dry but wetting the 
seed slightly makes it a little more efficient. 
Put seed on clean floor, canvas or container. 
For moist treatment sprinkle seed with clean 
cool water. (About pint to bushel seed). Stir 
till all seeds are moist but not wet. Pour In¬ 
oculation on and MIX THOROLY. Spread 
to dry in shade and the seed is then ready to 
plant. 
For Dry Treatment—Simply mix the In¬ 
oculation thoroly with the seed. It is a good 
plan to also mix occasionally while sowing. 
WHAT IT DOES 
Mixed with the seed intended for this 
INOCULATION helps the plant pro¬ 
duced to draw Nitrogen from both the 
air and soil. This Nitrogen is the most 
highly concentrated “Plant Food” and is 
stored up in the cells of the roots of the In¬ 
oculated Legumes. Those cells become so 
filled with that valuable Food that they ex¬ 
pand and form little knots or knobs on the 
roots. These are called “Nodules” and the 
Nitrogen they contain makes the plant much 
healthier and more virile. It has that same 
effect upon the growth of the crop which fol¬ 
lows Inoculated Legumes. Thus, Inoculation 
gives double benefit.
