CLIPPER MILLS 
Every farmer should own a good fanning 
mill. A good fanning mill will pay for itself 
in a short time by being able to clean up small 
lots or odd lots of seed which can be used to 
good advantage. This is especially true in 
handling soy beans and cow peas. Soy beans 
can be recleaned and the split beans are worth 
$1.00 per bu. for feed or can be sold for milling 
purposes at this price. If the split beans are 
left in your seed they are a total loss. Wheat, 
oats and barley should also be cleaned before 
planting. You will get an evener stand, a bet¬ 
ter crop will be produced as the small seeds 
will be taken out which possibly would ger¬ 
minate but will not produce a good plant. 
From our 25 years’ experience in the seed 
business, we have found that the clipper 
mill will do better work than any other. 
We are state agents for the clipper line of 
mills, buying these in car lots of from 75 to 
100 mills in a car. 
Clipper mills are made in many sizes for 
different uses. Farmers’ mills are in two 
sizes. No. 1 “B” which cleans about 10 bu. 
of clover seed per hour, complete with 12 
sieves, $37.50. No. 2 “B” which cleans 15 bu. 
of clover seed per hour, complete with H2 1 sieves and drive pulley for use with gas engine 
or motor, $45.00. 
If you have a dealer in your town who stocks clipper mills, see if you can buy from 
him first. If you have no dealer in your section, send your order to us. We do not want 
to ship mills into a town where we have a good dealer. 
NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN JR. 
For Field and Sweet Corn. 
No sooner was the Old Semesan Jr. 
on the market than did the Research 
Department of Bayer, Semesan Co. 
begin to look for something better, 
and now after 6 years of constant 
study they give us the new Improved 
Semesan Jr. With this new disin¬ 
fectant corn drops as evenly as 
though not treated at all. It is vast¬ 
ly superior to all other seed treat¬ 
ments heretofore offered. In 28 
tests, in four of the largest corn 
growing states it improved the 
stand. In 27 tests, it increased the 
yields, in 26 of them, on an average 
of nearly 10%. Think of increasing 
your yield over 10% at a cost of 2^c 
per acre. Corn treated with New 
Semesan Jr. will come up quicker 
, , , . and in the wet cold season this 
treatment seems to be a protection against decay. 1 lb. costs $1.50 and treats 8 bu. of corn 
which will plant 65 acres.

These as you will notice from cut

lier market. They cost only about 
a penny and more than pays the 
little expense.
