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 re¬ 
duce 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 authorities alike en¬ 
dorse its value in controlling covered 
smut, black loose smut, stripe and seed¬ 
ling 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 farm¬ 
ers’ 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 Im¬ 
proved 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, 70 cents; 5-pound can, $3.00.

-FORAGE FOR GROWING PIGS - 
Growing pigs need feeds high in protein, vitamins, and mineral content. 
To get all this from grain in a dry lot is much more expensive than sup¬ 
plementing with green forage crops. 
Among the best of these are Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, and Rape. These 
crops help in more economical feeding, proper assimilation of grain and 
minerals, and keep the growing pigs so much cleaner than feeding in 
dry lots.
