Wonderful Results With Oats Following Inoculated Cow Peas ? r Remarkable ..R?*v___ turns in Money Value of Cow Peas and Permanent Benefit to Soil. After yearn (if intelligent toil, when P> J. A. Berckmans, of Augusta, (3a., ? was gathered to his . fathers, ho left belli uflhlin ail enviable reputation as a tuost useful citizen, as a. noted horti culturist, a great nursery business, and three sons to carry on the work 1 he had inaugurated ? a business which had its customers in every civilised land, for the Berckmans nursery products were ftbove all reliable and just what the Arm declared theui to be. There was no guess work about anything they sold. They knew the possibilities and the limitations of every tree, shrub or plant that went forth from their es tablishment. x Tlie business started by the revered ;1\ J. A. Berckmans and has far out* grown the" business left by him.- In addition, the activities of the sons have caused them to brauch out in several other directions, and among their ven tures is a fifteen hundred acre farm at Mayfleld, half of which is given over to peach orchards and the other half to geueral farming. nils-farm, "The oaks,**" located at Mayfleld in Hancock county, Ga., Is being brought up to high productive ness" lljroUgli the application of the un derlying principles of the maintenance of hoJI fertility, and a record oatcrop growii this year on sandy land under drought conditions has pointed so con clusively to the money value of the Inoculation iof legumes that this year the Berckmans Brothers are using more thaii SOO acres of inoculating material on row peas alone! In discussing tjie~ remarkable yield ?of oats, Mr. P. .t. A. Berckmans, Jr., saidi "For yen rn we have grown cow peas with what we believed to He success, as a means of increasing the fertility of the land as well as for the excellent forage the crop provides. Home years ago we began testing out commercial bnctertafr cultures for- the inoculation of hairy vetch, planted alonjc with oats, and some of them proved de cidedly successful, while the. hay was easily the best ever fed oh our place. This test was made on the orchard section of The Oaks, and it was ob served by all that the mules on that part of the plantation were in tiner condition .than on the farm section, where mixed grain and forage were fed. Crops grew better after the in oculated vetch, showing the Increase hi titrates and the general Improve ment of the soils. "In the summer of 1014, the repre sentative of the Earp-Thomas Farm ogerm Company called on~"us and sat isfied us that the inoculation of cow peas would be profitable. The repre sentative told us of people we knew who had got as much as 100 per cent, increase In their oats and other crops after cow peaa Inoculated with h!a culture. No claim that we would get such an Increase was made, and wC were led to believe tha t " an Increase of 3S to 50 per cent, would be what : \vo slum Id expect . L_. "We accordingly bought 185 acres of Farmogern for cow peas aj^d an a re sult grew the best crop of cow peas ever seen at "The Oaks" vr? vigorous plants, so dark green they were al most black. We cut them off , and planted oats on a part of the land after the Inoculated cow peas, and oats on a section where cow peas without inoculation were grown. Jn all re spects the preparation and fertilisation of the two we^e the same. x "During the prolonged drought tills kpfinil Jthe oats after the luoculated cow- |H?as continued to grow and ma ture property. The oats after the cow peas without Inoculation ceased to grow and did not head out satisfac torily. You could tell to the row where the soli had been Inoculated,' so much more vigorous were the oats. The result? We harvested three times hh many oats from the tend that had been inoculated for cow peas as we did where tlje cow peas were grown without inoculation... The effect was raarvMput., The cost was trifling, about $1 iH?r acre, and for this small expends ture wo got- a bigger and better crop of cow i>ons than we had ever grown before, ahd a 200 per cent. Increase In our oats. ?? "We have demonstrated that our soils need organic matter ..ami nltro, geii and fully appreciate the benefit of the inocdlatlon of cow peaa with FARMOGKRM, as well as vetch, on poor soils. You should' ha vo seen the unpromising character of the soil where we used the FARMOGERM to under stand fully the' difference in the two crops. This Held we are planning to lime and thus realize the fullest bene fit from the inoculation. That field is now well inoculated, but we will plant it to cow i>eas again to get the full benefit of last year's inoculation. In actual return, figured either as an In vestment or an expense* no money has ever been expended by us that give such a large profit as the money spent for the 135 acres of Farmogerm. f "There is no guess work in ;.thla statement. We know it, because we keep books on every crop grown on our farms. " jf;.:: ? ~ .7T~ "We have now had the l>e*f proof that it pays to Inoculate cow peas,? and we tdmll use Inoculation wherever we can plant cow peas this year to increase pcrmanently-4ho fertility of oof J*nds. When we have the whole place inoculated, we are sure our -blR for fertUlsers will cut to a fraction of the present expense, and that- we will get full benefit from all ferttlixec used ? Something that Is impossible un less there is plenty of organic matter' in the soli. We are tol?l that liming liine-deliciunt soils increase* the value " of nrtitlclal inociilutlon, hut we did not usha llino where wt' planted the inoculated peas.* "W(! are also using inoculation in our peacti orchards with a steady in crease In the amount and the quality of the Beaches. "I have heard of other farmers whose Experience , with inoculation of cow i>eas parallels oura. Used prop* erly, according to the simple dlretf tloiiH, we see no reason why any farm er can not get as profitable result as we did, Just think, for a dollar an acre, we got a better and bigger/ par crop and three timea a? many oats aa the land would have produced without the Farmogerm 1" Ijearn from the experience Bfctck marts Brothers. Inoculate yotjrj* cow peas with FARMOGERM, and Vpiant them 011 every acre of land this' Hum mer you possibly can. Farmogerm Pays on All Legumeai^ Cow peas inoculated with Farmo germ root deeper, gat Iter nHtre nitron gen from the air and make the lock ed up plant food in the sub-soil avail able for any cyop that follows. Berck pians Brothers have proveu that FARMOGERM insures the continued 1 growth aiid pinturlty of crops under drought conditions that made crop fail ures on soils, hot treated with FARM OGERM, but which had grown cow peas and were prepared aud fertilised alike. Where else can crop insurance be bought for $1 per acre?
