IT PAYS TO INOCULATE LEGUMES beforeplanting IT PAYS TO TREAT SEED before planting with 
with NITRAGIN inoculation. DU BAY disinfectants. 
The question is often raised whether it is necessary to inoculate One and a half billion dollars—an average of over $200 per 
every time a legume is being planted. The old idea was that once farmer—is the annual tax levied by plant diseases on Americas 
a legume has been growing in a given soil and it was known to be CTOps, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Such a 
well inoculated, further incculation was not necessary. That is no Staggering economic waste makes plant diseases one of the most 
doubt perfectly true. The subsequent legumes will grow and wil] important risks in crop production. 
show inoculation in the majority of cases. All growers contribute to this huge plant disease tax. Yet it 
could be greatly reduced if they would fight disease by using crop 
sanitation, disease-resistant varieties, crop rotation, protective sprays 
or dusts, and last but not least—seed treatment. 
Early this century certain organic mercuries were found to be 
very effective in killing many disease organisms carried on seeds, 
without injuring the seeds. This led to exhaustive investigations of 
these compounds. After years of intensive research the present Du 
Bay Seed Disinfectants were developed. The prevention of disease 
by treating seeds before planting with the effective, easily applied 
Du Bay Disinfectants is less costly than any other crop practice, and 
returns greater profits per dollar invested. Years of continued use 
prove this! 

But frequently it happens that due to unfavorable soil conditions, 
excessive droughts or too heavy rains, many of the legume bacteria 
remaining in the soil may be killed or washed away. Therefore, 
sufficient number of bacteria may not be available to produce satis- 
factory inoculation on the same legume the next time it is planted. 
The young legume plants need available nitrogen as soon as 
possible to lay the foundation for healthier and more vigorous 
growth, and one sure way to furnish this element to them in the 
early stages of growth is to inoculate with Nitragin inoculation. 
Proper inoculation has been regarded as one of the cheapest forms 
of legume crop insurance.
