It Pays to Treat with "Semesan Bel " POTATOES & SOY BEANS 
Potato Seed Pieces 
Seed pieces must be large 
enough to give a good start. 
The seed piece must furnish 
the nourishment until the sun 
hits the leaf and it starts to 
utilize food from the soil.

“I am especially well 
pleased with your Hybrid 
seed corn, both in yield and 
in the quality of the corn 
itself. From three acres I 
picked 540 single bushels, 
and I consider it the best 
corn I have ever raised. 1 
saw no bare stalks. • The 
Hybrid does not blow down 
and will stand more storm 
than other corn I have 
grown. I am so well pleased 
I want to place an order now 
for two bushels for next 
year.” — Roy S. Baker, 
Adams County, Pa. 
DIP-TREAT YOUR SEED POTATOES 
WITH "SEMESAN BEL" 
It’s so easy—just dip and plant! This 
cjuick-dip treatment checks seed-piece decay, 
improves stands, and reduces or prevents 
crop damage from seed-borne Rhizoctonia 
and scab. Certainly helps to increase yields. 
Costs so little—2 cents to 3 cents per bushel. 
Disease steals your potato profits, de¬ 
creases the yield, and lowers the market 
value. 
Treat certified seed, too. It may carry even 
a small trace of disease that the treatment 
will overcome. And the certified seed will 
rot just as quickly in cold, wet soils as will 
any other seed. 
35 MORE BUSHELS PER ACRE 
BY TREATING 
On six farms careful records were kept 
where seed potatoes were treated with 
Semesan Bel, and where they were not. . . . 
The average increase in yield was 35 bushels 
per acre—thus proving the wisdom of this 
quick one-minute dip. ... 1 pound treats 
60 bushels of seed. 
Prices: 4-ounce tin, 45 cents; 1-pound tin, 
SI.50; 5-lb. tin, $6.75; 25-lb. pail, $31.00.

SOY BEANS 
An important crop. Supplies high-protein 
feed. Soy Beans fill in those unexpected gaps 
when drought or unseasonable weather re¬ 
duces the hay yield. 
Be sure to drill the seed shallow. Many 
failures resulted from too deep-drilled seed. 
Don’t plant too early! Soy Bean Seed should 
be inoculated. If not inoculated the crop 
may take more value out of the soil than it 
puts into it. 
Soy Beans do well in fertile soils that are
