DU3AY SEED DISINFECTANTS 
Semesan Jr. 
Every corn grower knows the importance 
of securing a good stand. But good stands, 
especially for early plantings or when the 
soil is cold and wet, are hard to get. Too 
many missing hills and too many hills with 
only one stalk usually leave a stand that 
is only fair. That’s what cuts into your 
corn income year after year. 
New Improved Semesan .Tr. should help 
to give you better stands. It generally pro¬ 
tects the seed from decaying, and the 
seedlings from blights and root rots caused 
by such fungi as Diplodia and Gibberella. 
Tn most of the Iowa and Illinois tests re¬ 
ported use of Semesan Jr. treatment of 
tne seed increased the stand over untreated 
seed by 5 to 15%. 
In many sections last year was a poor 
seed corn year. Your seed may not be up 
to its usual quality. Don’t take chances 
with it. A little time spent in testing it for g 
will usually pay big returns at harvest.

Semesan Jr. 
A dust disinfectant for the control of ear rot and stalk rots of CORN. Use 2 oz. per 
bushel of seed, making cost about 4 cents per acre. Price, 4 oz., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
Semesan BeS An i nstantaneous dip disinfectant for SEED POTATOES. Most extensively used and 
most effective treatment for control of seed borne disease organisms that cause rots and 
incidentally much lower yields. It stimulates speedy germination, healthy growth and early maturity. One 
pound will treat 60 bushels of seed. Prices, 4 oz., 50c; 1 lb., $1.05; 5 lbs., $7.00.

PA A M A I I CT A Dry Formaldehyde Treatment 
I VII Iwl U H y U V 8 for Smut on Oats and Barley 
Smut is caused by a fungus which enters the plant soon after the grain germinates. The seeds or spores 
of Oat and Barley smut adhere to the Toughened surfaces of the grain and in the crevices of the hulls. 
They germinate along with the grain and soon enter the young tender plants where the fungus continues 
to grow and develop as a parasite until it matures. It is not uncommon for smut to cause loss of 25% of 
the crop. 
Dry Dusts, which contain penetrating gases, are rapidly replacing the wet grain treatments formerly 
recommended as the best control. The cost per acre is comparatively small, not exceeding 12c. Formo-Dust 
is rapidly and easily applied. It liberates the gas rapidly enough to kill smut spores without injuring the 
grain in the process of germination. Grain should be treated at least 12 hours before sowing. It is not 
injurious to stock and treated grain. If left over after sowing, may be fed with safety. It requires 2 1 /2 to 
3 ounces of Dust per bushel of grain. A 5 lb. can will treat 25 to 30 bushels. Price, per 5 lb. can, $1.50. 
NO-CROW 
Crow, Bird and Animal 
Repellent 
Corn and other seeds treated 
with No-Crow will be per¬ 
fectly safe. Crows, pigeons, 
moles, pheasants, black birds, 
larks, gophers, wood chucks, 
squirrels, etc., hate No-Crow 
and will not touch treated 
seeds. 
This non-poisonous repellent 
avoids loss of seed and labor 
of replanting, acts as a fungi¬ 
cide and prevents seed from 
rotting in the ground, thus in¬ 
suring a larger yield per acre. 
No-Crow is economical, costing 
about 10c per acre of planted 
ground. It is easy to use. Put 
1 bushel in tight box or can and pour on one-half 
pint of No-Crow. Mix and seed is ready to plant. 
Price, Vz pint 50c, pint 85c, quart $1.25, gallon 
$3.50. __

A liquid which 
kills by fumes that 
it generates 
through evapora¬ 
tion. Being four 
and a half times 
heavier than air, 
these fumes travel 
downward, pene¬ 
trating into every 
crevice below the 
point where it is 
applied. It is 
guaranteed to kill 
weevils, moths and 
other grain insects in all stages of development. 
VESFUME is safe under all fumigating conditions. 
It does not injure human health or life. It is 
non-contaminating and does not change the odor, 
taste, appearance or baking qualities of flour or 
grain. Neither does it affect the germinating seed. 
VESFUME evaporates completely, leaving no residue 
or odor and involves no risk of fire or explosion. 
Use one quart VESFUME for every 125 bushels of 
grain. Price of VESFUME: Qt., $1.25; gal., $4.00. 
GRAIN FUMIGANT

Eradicate Canadian Thistle, Quack Grass, etc., with 
Sodium Chlorate-Limestone Mixture 
There is now commercially available a mixture of sodium chlorate (75 per cent) and ground lime¬ 
stone (25 per cent) for use in the control of small patches of noxious weeds. This mixture was originally 
suggested and tried experimentally by the Agronomy Department, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, 
at Columbus, in 1932. 
This fine-textured, non-caking, drillable mixture can be applied readily by hand, with a lawn fertilizer 
broadcaster, or through the fertilizer attachment of a grain drill. This direct application is far less 
laborious than preparing and applying chlorates as spray. The use of such a dry mixture results in ade¬ 
quate application, which are seldom attained where chlorates are applied as sprays. 
Price, 100 lb. Drums, $8.00. Can be shipped only in 100 1 lb. drums which will treat around 1/5 acre.
