Olds’ Certified Stock of Improved Rural New Yorkers. 
OLDS’ IMPROVED RURAL NEW YORKER. 
MOST POPULAR MAIN CROP POTATO IN NEARLY ALL SECTIONS 
Rural New Yorker is by far the most popular main crop variety in cultivation today. Its outstanding charac¬ 
teristics are its beautiful smooth white skin, its inconspicuous eyes and its great yielding qualities. It does 
| tha best of any variety as a rule on clay soils and black soils and in fact it is the universal potato for all 
soils. It will probably stand more neglect and do better under unfavorable conditions than any other va¬ 
riety. It is easily grown, a good keeper and always yields well. As a rule the quality is all right too. 
Rurals throughout the country are badly mixed with other varieties. Such stock does not bring the top price. 
We have not only pure Rurals but an improved Strain of Rurals, all northern Wisconsin grown, from Sawyer County 
and other northern counties. Ask for special prices in large quantities and for new prices after February 15th.

“PRICES MUCH HIGHER. The Wisconsin potato crop this year is now estimated at 18,300,000 bushels—less than 
81 per cent of last year’s crop and not much more than 77 per cent of the 5-year average for the state. The decreased 
number of bushels, however, does not indicate a smaller return this year for our most important cash field crop. On the 
contrary, it seems assured that Wisconsin potato growers will receive at least four times the amount of money for this year’s 
crop as for the crop of 1932."— Wisconsin Agriculturist and Farmer, Nov. 11, 1933, _

TREAT YOUR SEED WITH NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN BEL 
Easy Dip Treatment Costs Only 2c per Bushel 
Fifty per cent of all seed potatoes planted in the 
United States carry disease in some form. This means 
decreased yields. Much of this loss can be prevented by 
treating seed before planting with New Improved Semesan 
Bel. 
“The increase in yield from Improved Semesan Bel was 
about 20%. I also treated some of my seed with hot 
formaldehyde and I am convinced that Improved Semesan 
Bel is much better,” writes one of our growers. 
Seed potato treatment will bring you 
more profit. New Improved Semesan 
Bel —the quick dip treatment—has cut 
treating costs to l)4c to 3c per bushel 
of seed and gives equal or better control 
of seed-borne Rhizoctonia and scab than 
the old soak treatments. It protects 
seed pieces against rotting, insuring 
maximum stands; gives more consistent 
increases in yield and consequently larg¬ 
er profits. It is easily and quickly ap¬ 
plied. Just mix with, water, dip your 
seed potatoes, drain, and plant. One 
pound of New Improved Semesan Bel 
treats 60-80 bushels. 
Paul A. Johnson, Iowa County Agent, 
writes: “When tested on Cobblers, Semesan 
Bel treated seed produced 166 bushels per 
acre, while only 78.3 bushels were obtained 
from untreated seed of the same lot, re¬ 
sulting in an increase of 88 bushels, or 
about 113 per cent.” 
Prices of Improved Semesan Bel: 4-oz. size, 50c; 1-lb. 
size, $1.75; 5-lb, size, $8.00; 25-lb. size, $31.25. Not
