a 
CERESAN” 
TREATMENT FOR 
OATS—WHEAT—BARLEY 
In a three-year series of tests, on 65 farms, 
read what happened with seed oats that had 
been treated with New Improved Ceresan! 
The average yield produced in all these 
tests over this period was increased by 18 
per cent! 
And the seed-oats treatment with this 
effective new ethyl mercury phosphate dust 
amounts to only around 6 cents an acre! 
It is also very effective on wheat 
and barley seed. Diseases that now 
reduce your yield and steal away 
your profit, can be controlled easily 
and at very low cost by dust-treating 
the seed with this New Improved 
Ceresan! Farmers and farm authori¬ 
ties alike endorse its value in con¬ 
trolling covered smut, black loose 
smut, stripe and seedling blight. 
Every oats grower should apply this treatment, even if the seed 
is not supposed to be in any way infected—because the cost of this 
effective precaution is so very small. In Iowa State Bulletin you find 
printed: "In 1934 this dust practically eliminated smut on 60 
different farmers’ lots of oats. 400 rows were planted with treated 
seed. And smut occurred in only 4 plants out of the 400. In the 
400 rows planted with seed not treated, there were 2,466 smutted 
plants.” 
Don’t try to outguess the smut. Clean or smutty, treat your seed 
oats—barley—wheat—with New Improved Ceresan. If the seed is 
smutty, the treatment usually will control the smut and increase the 
yield, too. If the seed is clean, New Improved Ceresan will often 
increase the yield anyway. There’s nothing to be gained by guessing; 
play safe and treat with Ceresan.

ONE-HALF OUNCE TREATS A BUSHEL 
That’s all it takes—a half ounce of dust per bushel of seed. 
Quickly and easily applied by means of a rotary seed-treater or by 
the shovel method. After treating the seed should be stored in a 
pile of sacks for 24 hours before planting. 
Prices: 1-pound can, 75 cents; 5-pound can, $3.00.
