there arc of them in the soil and the more actively they are work-

DlGESTlVE AGENilISI-“Thcse soil bacteria may be likened to the digestivejuiccs in the stomach and intestines of men and ani- mals, which prepare the food for assimilation by the body, Unless

. these digestive agents are present and active ‘the food ‘islnot assim-

ilated. The digestive process in the soil is a very cdmplicated one, taking place in different stages, and differencspecics of bacteria are n‘ cessary for each of ‘the diflercnt stages."

CONTAINE IN SOlLGRO.—The useful kinds of soil bacteria are contained in Soilgro. It contains those kinds which withdraw

and those which combine with nitrogen and release it in the soil independent of plain life. Others attack and break down animal and vegetable‘ matter in the soil, forming humus. Still others cause "certain chemical reactions to take place which release and make available for the growing plant, the locked up potassium and phosphorus, which are found in an unavailable form, in most soils. When- these two important elements are entirely absent from any soil, which is not often the case, they must die added to secure

‘normal growth. The bacteria contained in Soilgro assist and stim- ulatc the development of plant food in all kinds ‘of soil. They

strengthen and- basten the growth dfeveryplant that has roots.

BARREN SOIL.—-Al'l'y soil is barren when it lacks soil bacteria. Take the richest garden loam and bake it till all bacteria are lzilled and it will not grow even grass. Rcturnpllie bacteria to it by‘ mixing it with unbakcd fertile loam or "thoroughly treat it with, Spilgroand quick and sturdy plant growth will occur. Seemingly barren land can be made to grow crops if moisture and soil bac- I lei-in are provided. They make the plant food, which practically all soil contains, available. Or, to use an easily understood figure, NITROGEN ADDED BY SOIL(rRO.--By inoculating soil with Soilgro at the beginning of the growing season, or during that time, these organisms multiply with amazing rapidity. able soil conditions, with plenty of moisture, and warmth, one of these bacteria can produce over twontyimillion of its kind in This multiplication of microscopically minute organisms means a great increase in the amount of plant food prepared for the growing crop, and well nourished, healthy, vig- orous plants in place of poorly nourished weaklings,‘ The fzivor- I growing plant is evident in a fcw days. THE MOST ECONOMICAL METHOD.—-When the cost of Soilgro treatment per acre is compared with the cost of high-grade chemical fertilizer, the Soilgro method of increasing plant growth » wfllbe found mosteconomlical.

The plant may be thoroughly saturated with Soilgro ‘without injury, but as the action takes place entirely in the soil, it is advisable to apply it there, as any applied to the foliage is wasted, There is no dan- ger of having too many of the bacteria supplied by Soilgro in the soil, as "the more of them there are in the soil the better will be the crop returns." ANOTHER ADVANTAGE.-—Bcsides removing the danger of burning either roots or foliage, Soilgro has the advantage of frec- If your ground is clear of weeds and your seed is clean, you can be sure that Soilgro ulil! not bring any stranger fllisiilr to bother you.
