CERESAN 
Helps to Make Bigger Oits Crops 
"CERESAN"—TREATMENT FOR 
OATS—WHEAT—BARLEY 
In a three-year test on 65 farms, oats 
treated with Ceresan increased in yield by 
18 per cent! 
And this seed oats treatment costs only 
6 cents an acre! 
Also very effective on wheat and barley 
seed. Diseases that now reduce your yield 
and steal away your profit can be controlled 
at low cost by this dust treatment. Farmers 
and farm authorities now endorse its value 
in controlling covered smut, black loose 
smut, stripe and seedling blight. 
Every oats grower should apply this treat¬ 
ment, 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 this dust practically eliminated smut 
on 60 different farmers’ lots of oats. 
Don’t try to outguess the smut. If your 
seed is smutty, the treatment usually will 
control the smut and increase the yield, too. 
If the seed is clean, New Improved Ceresan 
will often increase the yield anyway. Play 
safe and treat with Ceresan. 
“I planted one shock row 
in the middle of a 28-acre 
field. Your Hybrid Corn 
averaged 19 barrels per 
acre. While my crop aver¬ 
aged 17 barrels. The Hybrid 
has much greater root sys¬ 
tem, thus enabling it to with¬ 
stand drought and storms.”

Inoculate Even When 
Broadcasting 
Don't hesitate to apply in¬ 
oculation even when seed is 
broadcast on the fields in the 
spring. Choose a cloudy day. 
Use inoculated seed imme¬ 
diately after seed is actually 
inoculated. Give your crops a 
better opportunity to make ad¬ 
ditional profits for you. 
One-Half Ounce Treats a Bushel 
That’s all it takes—a half ounce of dust 
per bushel of seed. Quickly and easily ap¬ 
plied. After treating, the seed should be 
covered for 24 hours before planting. 
Prices: 1-pound can, 70 cents; 5-pound 
can, $3.00. 
Note: "Ceresan,” also "Semesan, Jr.,” and 
"Semesan Bel” (offered on pages 45 and 49), 
represent the finest quality, most efficient products 
of their kind. . . . They are highly recommended 
to do a very worth-while job for you. . . . Put 
them to work on your farm ! 
“Your Crow Repellent 
sure does keep the crows 
from pulling the corn, and 
also the squirrels from dig¬ 
ging it up. I have been buy¬ 
ing Hoffman Seeds for 8 
years, and don’t think that 
nicer and cleaner seeds can 
be bought any place.”— Wm.
