them on your farms.

you to test them out yourselves and report to us. We shall keep a record of all these special intro¬ 
ductory orders and this fall we shall send you a blank to report to us the results.

TREAT ALL SEED CORN 
WITH SEMESAN JR. 
Reduces the seed rotting, permits earlier planting, 
improves stand, increases yield. In actual tests in 
26 out of 28 farm tests in 20 counties, including four 
of the largest corn growing states, New Improved 
Semesan Jr. increased the yield 1^4 to 6^4 bushels 
per acre. Think of these increased yields at a cost 
of less than 2c per acre. Common sense tells you 
not to plant a grain of corn which is not treated. 
According to Illinois Agricultural College the av¬ 
erage increase yields in northern two-thirds of 
Illinois has been about three bushel per acre. All 
of our Hybrid seed corn is treated with Semesan Jr. 
at no extra cost. Open pollinated corn will be 
treated for 20c per bushel. 
4 oz. can treats 2 bushel, costs you 30c 
1 lb. can treats 8 bushel, costs you 75c 
Seed can be treated weeks in advance, in fact if 
next we would advise treating it with Semesan Jr.
