INCREASE YOUR PROFITS WITH 
DU BAY SEED DISINFECTANTS 
SEMES AN—For Flower and Vegetable Seeds 
Prevent seed rotting under unfavorable soil 
conditions, and stop certain seed-borne dis¬ 
eases that reduce stands, lower yields and 
quality by treating the seeds, bulbs or corms 
with Semesan before planting. Effective in 
controlling damping-off. Harmless to the seed, 
but deadly to disease organisms on them. Costs 
from V 4 C to lc per pound of seed as one ounce 
treats 15 lbs. Prices—Post paid—2-oz., 60c; 
1-lb., $2.65; 5-lb., $11.95. At Store—2-oz., 50c; 
1-lb., $2.50; 5-lb., $11.75. 
NEW IMPROVED CERES AN—For Wheat, Oats and Barley 
New Improved Ceresan is unusually effective 
for controlling bunt or stinking smut of wheat, 
smut of oats, and covered smut and stripe of 
barley. Costs but 1 § to 2J cents a bushel of seed 
grain as only !4 ounce of dust is used. Easily 
and quickly applied by a rotary treater or with 
shovel. It adds to grain profits by reducing 
losses from smut and dockage and increases 
yields. Prices—Post paid—1-lb., 90c; 5-lb., $3.20; 
At Store—1-lb., 75c; 5-lb., $3.00. 
NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN BEL-For Potatoes 
Seed potato treatment with New Improved 
Semesan Bel gave an average increase in yield 
of 35.4 bushels per acre, on six farms in five 
states, by controlling seed-borne scab and 
Rhizoctonia, reducing seed rotting and im¬ 
proving stands. Also used as a seed and a 
sprout treatment for sweet potatoes. This 
quick dip costs lVk to 3c per bushel, as one 
pound treats 60-80 bushels of seed. Prices— 
Post paid—4-oz., 60c; 1-lb., $1.90; 5-lb., $8.20; 
25-lb., $31.70. At Store—4-oz., 50c; 1-lb., $1.75; 
5-lb., $8.00; 25-lb., $31.25. 
NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN JR—For Corn. 
Insure good stands and maximum yields by 
treating your seed corn with New Improved 
Semesan Jr. Tests on 28 different farms prove 
that it increased yields as much as 22 per cent 
with an average of nearly 10 per cent. It pro¬ 
tects seed from rotting and prevents certain 
seed-borne diseases. Use 2 ounces per bushel. 
Costs from 2V2 to 3 cents an acre. Prices—Post 
paid—4-oz., 60c; 1-lb., $1.65; 5-lb., $7.20; 25-lb., 
$28.95. At Store—4-oz., 50c; 1-lb., $1.50; 5-lb., 
$7.00; 25-lb., $28.75. 
Legume-Aid-Inoculation 
MOIST COMPOSITION BASE: 
Living bacteria in a base of rela¬ 
tively low moisture content which 
adheres to dry seed without the use 
of water. Recommended because 
of its ease of application. 
ONLY THE BEST STRAINS of 
bacteria are used. They have been 
selected from a large collection and 
are the best now available. 
CULTURES OF MORE THAN adequate size are supplied to 
insure results even under unfavorable conditions. 
PROMPT DELIVERY is desirable as fresh cultures are much 
more effective than old ones. To insure the use of fresh cultures 
we only permit their sale within four months after preparation.

All legumes — plants that bear 
their seed in pods—like peas, beans, 
alfalfa, form a partnership at the 
roots with certain kinds of health¬ 
ful bacteria called legume germs, 
that are able to draw nitrogen from 
the air and give it to the plant. They 
form on the roots in colonies look¬ 
ing like lumps, called nodules. 
Without these germs, legumes 
would rob the soil for nourishment 
and have a sickly growth, for few 
soils contain a natural supply. It 
is therefore necessary to “inocu¬ 
late”—apply these nitrogen-gath¬ 
ering germs directly to the seed. 
All agricultural authorities advise 
inoculation of legumes. Every 1- 
bushel size can of Nitragin is packed 
with more than seven billion leg-

Causes Spring-Grown Irish Potatoes to Sprout for LATE Crop 
This new, quick method (in use 8 years) has the effect of 
waking the potato or bringing it out of the rest period. 
Read Carefully How to Treat the Seed 
Dig the potatoes and let them dry 3 or 4 weeks before planting. 
Eight hours before planting, cut the seed in pieces about 1 
ounce in weight. Cut small potatoes in two. Dip the cut pota¬ 
toes in solution of Ethylene Chlorhydrin and water as follows:

Allow the potatoes to remain in the solution just long enough 
to become thoroughly wet. Remove and put in a container just 
as near air-tight as possible and let remain there eight hours. 
Remove and store in cool, shady place where temperature is 
under 90 degrees. Do not treat potatoes when temperature is 
above 90 degrees in shade, as it will cause rot. Do not treat with 
any other chemical, as the combined treatments will cause rot. 
Lay off rows in ground that has been well worked, open deep 
furrows so as to cover seed deep; plant early in morning, late 
in afternoon, or on a cloudy day; drop pieces 12 to 15 inches apart, 
cover 4 to 6 inches deep; a low, moist piece of soil. Plant from 
July 1st until last week in August. Many plant early in Sep¬ 
tember in lower Southern territory. It requires 8 to 10 bushels 
to plant an acre.
