SEED DISINFECTANTS 
These are the successful result of a deliberate 
and painstaking determination by some of the 
world’s foremost agricultural chemists to discover 
and invent the finest seed disinfectants that science 
can devise. Ask for booklet giving further infor¬ 
mation in regard to Semesan products. As these 
are all poisonous they can not be mailed. 
Semesan Products Booklets 
which we supply will show you how to make more 
money from your crops, by increasing yields and 
preventing disease. Ask for the ones you are in¬ 
terested in. 
SpiTlPSiin has inh erently superior disease dis- 
infection properties that are pos¬ 
sessed by no other chemical now known. It is 
amazingly effective against an enormous array of 
fungus growths, disease germs and over micro¬ 
organisms without at the same time being harm¬ 
ful to the higher forms of life to which the 
seeds and plants belong. Of tremendous interest 
to the user is the fact that with Semesan, the 
need for a specific remedy to treat each type of 
disease is no longer present because Semesan 
covers practically the entire range of the grow¬ 
er’s requirements. Moreover, the facility with 
which Semesan can be applied is an enormous 
advantage to the consumer since it is the only 
disinfectant that can be employed in either dust 
or liquid form. Price, 2 oz. 50c, lb. $2.75, 6 lbs. 
$13.00.

uClllwodll^ I • Bushels an Acre With 
SEMESAN, JR. Three bushels more corn can 
reasonably be expected by any farmer who treats 
seed corn before planting, Illinois Experiment 
Station tests show. Field or sweet seed corn 
dusted with Semesan, Jr. is protected from the 
destructive Diplodia, Gibberella, and Basisporium 
root rots carried by the seed and from rotting 
in cold, wet soil, consequently better germina¬ 
tion, stands, and yields of improved quality are 
obtained. Treatment with Semesan Jr. costs 
less than 3c per acre and pays a splendid prof¬ 
it on the cost. Easily and quickly applied as a 
dust at the rate of 2 ounces per bushel of seed.
