Increase Your Grain Profits with 
New Improved Ceresan 
Lower your grain production costs 
per acre—enlarge your profit-—by in¬ 
creasing yields with New Improved 
Ceresan. It is unusually effective in 
controlling bunt or stinking smut of 
wheat, covered smut and stripe of 
barley, and oats smuts. Frequently 
improves the stand and increases the 
yield of grain 1 to 5 or more bushels 
per acre. 
New Improved Ceresan is easily 
and quickly applied by 20 to 25 revo¬ 
lutions of the seed treated, or by 3 turnings with a 
shovel. Seed should be treated 24 hours before 
planting. No disagreeable, nauseating dust to be 
breathed—no swollen or injured seed—no drill dam¬ 
age for the user of New Improved Ceresan. 
COST—Just 1% to 2 y s cents per bushel of seed. 
One pound treats 32 bushels of wheat, oats, and bar¬ 
ley.

New Improved Semesan Bel Treat¬ 
ment of Seed Potatoes Pays 
Only 0.4 of a bushel of the average yield increase of 
35.4 bushels reported above was required to pay for 
the Improved Semesan Bel, leaving a return on 
money invested of 9S30% 
Seed potato treatment will bring you more profit 
than ever before. New Improved Semesan Bel-—the 
quick dip treatment—has cut treating costs to l%c 
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 con¬ 
sistent increases in yield and consequently larger 
profits. It costs less in time and labor than the old 
treatments. It is easily and quickly applied. Just 
mix one pound of Improved Semesan Bel with 7% 
gallons of water, dip your seed potatoes, drain, and 
plant. One pound treats 60-80 bushels of seed 
potatoes. 
Prices: 4 oz., 50c; 1 lb., $1.75; 5 lbs., $8.00; 25 lbs.,

Disease Protection for % to lc 
Per Pound of Seed 
Prevent the many damaging diseases of flowers 
and vegetables that are carried on the seed, by dis¬ 
infection of the seed with Semesan. It destroys the 
destructive diseases on the seed and protects them 
from the rots in the soil, which results in increased 
stands of more vigorous, healthy plants that yield 
larger, quality crops. Sprinkling of the seedling 
beds with Semesan solution effectively prevents 
damping-off. Recommended especially for seeds, 
bulbs, gladiolus corms. dahlia tubers, and rose 
bushes. Easily applied as a liquid or dust. One 
ounce treats 15 to 30 pounds of seed. 
Costs V 4 , to lc per pound of seed. Directions in 
every can. 
1— Untreated Calendula seed—18% germination. 
2— Soaked in liquid Semesan 30 minutes-14% ger¬ 
mination 
3— Soaked in liquid Semesan 1 hour—67% germi¬ 
nation. 
Prices: 2 oz., 50c; 1 11>., $2.50; 5 lbs., $11.75; 25 lbs.,

New Improved Semesan Jr. In¬ 
creases Stands and Yields 
Semesan Jr. increased the yield of field corn 21.3 
bushels per acre over the untreated seed planted 
in the same fields. 
Four bushels more corn per acre can reasonably 
be expected by any farmer that treats his seed corn 
before planting, Illinois Experiment Station tests 
show. Field or sweet corn dusted with New Im¬ 
proved Semesan Jr. is protected from destructive 
Diplodia and Gibberella root rot carried by the seed, 
and from rotting in the cold, wet soil. New Im¬ 
proved Semesan Jr. insures better stands and yields 
of corn. In 26 out of 28 tests, it increased the yield 
as high as 22%, and gave an average increase of 
nearly 10%. It does not reduce the rate of planting. 
The cost of treating field corn is only approximately 
2 y 2 to 3c per acre.
