Roots of ordinary Corn compared with Iowealth Hybrid Corn 
FIELD CORN 
Why Use Certified Seed Corn? 
As members of the Virginia Crop Improvement 
Association, we recommend Certified Seed Corn. 
Stocks of known merit are obtained, carefully 
isolated, and selections made by experienced grow¬ 
ers. In September the fields are inspected for purity; 
the storage and drying equipment is also inspected. 
In January the stock in storage is inspected and 
samples taken for germination and mixture. Corn 
passing these tests will be shelled, graded, and sam¬ 
ples tested for germination. Seed passing all these 
tests is then sold as Certified Corn. 
We do not pay transportation charges on Corn 
unless so stated

Wetsel’s Seed Corn Treated with 
Barbak 111 FREE 
Much seed corn becomes infected with some disease 
organism before or after planting. The result is a poor stand, 
weak plants, mouldy ears, and reduced yield. We treat all our 
seed corn with Barbak 111 without cost to you. The treat¬ 
ment permits earlier planting, increases germination, protects 
from blight, root-rot, and other diseases, makes better plants, 
and should increase the yield from 4 to 20 bushels an acre. 
MAINE-GROWN 
SEED POTATOES 
What “Certified” Means to Potato Growers 
It means the best-bred planting stock, free from 
disease, that reduces the yield. It means bigger and 
better crops of smooth Potatoes which will yield you 
a better profit. Certified Seed Potatoes cost so little 
more than ordinary stock that the difference is not 
worth considering. 
Irish Cobbler. Select Maine-grown Cobblers, grown 
from first-class seed stock. For many years this 
has been a popular variety. Vines vigorous, pro¬ 
ducing a good crop of white Potatoes. Irish Cob¬ 
bler is considered the standard Potato for all 
markets. 
Red Bliss or Bliss Triumph. Produces mature 
Potatoes for table use at the earliest possible date. 
Sometimes called the ‘‘Six-weeks Potato.” 
Spaulding Rose. Medium early. Skin pale pink; 
flesh pure white. Good yielder. 
Green Mountain. Makes big crops everywhere on 
almost any soil. Potatoes oval, smooth, white¬ 
skinned, and run uniformly large in size. 
No. 2 Potatoes from Certified Seed. We wall 
supply Maine-grown No. 2 Potatoes from Certified 
Seed for a little lower price than the Certified or 
Select Stock. The Seed Potatoes are smaller, but 
will cut to better advantage and are more eco¬ 
nomical for planting. Highly recommended for 
second planting in June and July. Our Potatoes 
are kept in cold storage and are just as solid and 
firm in July as in March. 
The Potato market is too unsettled to quote prices. 
The outlook favors low quotations 
Spray Your Potato Vines 
Whether you grow for market or for home use, the 
vines must be sprayed if you intend to harvest a

insecticide. Prevents diseases and stimulates the
