i Growers who treat seed 
w Improved SEMESAN JR. 
Increases Yields 
Better stands of healthier plants mean in¬ 
creased yields. Numerous tests on Corn Belt farms 
with growers’ seed show that dusting the seed with 
New Improved Semesan Jr. increases the average 
yield about \0%. In tests on 17 farms, New Improved 
Semesan Jr. increased the yield on 15 of them. On 6 of 
these farms the increase ranged from 5 to 8 bushels 
an acre. The next year, on 26 out of 28 farms in 20 
counties scattered over 4 of the largest corn-growing 
states, New Improved Semesan Jr. increased the 
yield lj£ to 6J4 bushels per acre. If your untreated 
seed makes 50 bushels per acre, New Improved 
Semesan Jr. generally will add about 5 extra bushels— 
and at a cost of only lj^ per acre.

Seed treatment is advised by Experiment Stations: 
Illinois —“. . . the average increase in yield in the 
northern two-thirds of Illinois has been about 3 
bushels an acre.” 
Iowa —“Seed Treatment Increases the Yield—Aver¬ 
age for 9 years—4.0 bushels per acre. . . . Since soil 
and weather conditions cannot be predicted it is wise 
to use a dust treatment every year as a form of 
insurance.” 
M innesota —“It Pays to Treat Sweet Corn Seed! . . . 
Seedling blight is a common and destructive disease of 
sweet corn in Minnesota. It is the most common 
cause of poor stands and low yields.”
