WOOD'S EARLY CORNS 
For Mountain Section, Northern States and Early Feed in South 
Treat Your Seed Corn with Semesan, Jr. 
Tills treatment hastens and increases g-erminatlon, protects com from 
seedling* hligrht, increases the stand 5 to 25 per cent, allows earlier plant¬ 
ing* in cold, damp -weather, reduces root rot, produces sturdier plants and 
strong*er stalks that s*tand up better in storms, reduces the amount of un¬ 
sound com at harvest, and increases the yield 4 to 20 bushels per acre.
