MORE YIELD 
OF BETTER POTATOES 
In actual farm tests the new, Im¬ 
proved SEMESAN BEL dip treat¬ 
ment of seed potatoes has increased 
yields 13.6% — and improved potato 
quality — at the low cost of only 21 { 
an acre. These figures are average. 
Many growers get even larger in¬ 
creases by this treatment! 
No mussy soaking — treat seed as 
fast as you can dip it. Just one pound 
of the New Improved SEMESAN 
BEL treats from 60 to 80 bushels of 
seed. Every grower can afford it, and 
no grower should plant without its 
protection. Reduces seed piece decay, 
improves stands and controls seed- 
borne Rhizoctonia and scab. Saves 
you time and labor in treating; gives 
growers bigger yields and more 
profit! 
Extracts from State Seal Eaa-s 
UTAH: Prohibits over 1% weed seed. 
Must label mixtures. Sale of seeds 
containing primary noxious weeds 
PROHIBITED. Secondary noxious 
weeds—give name and number per lb. 
if not over 90 per lb.; prohibited if 
over. 
IDAHO: If mixture, must state name 
of each kind present in proportions 
of 5% or more. All labels carry name 
and number of noxious weeds. Mix¬ 
tures carry percentage of inert mat¬ 
ter. Noxious weeds prohibited in 
greater proportion than one seed of 
any or all to 10,000 seeds of the 
agricultural seed offered. 
Xe if Federal Seed Fair 
Became effective Feb. 5th. Regulates 
the sale of all seeds in interstate 
transit, except those sold by the AC¬ 
TUAL GROWER, and requires ac¬ 
curate labeling as to variety, origin, 
purity and germination. Seed retailers 
who handle seeds of unknown origin 
or questionable quality will be respon¬ 
sible for them under the law. 
You never have had as great an opportunity to sell the Du Bay 
line as today. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, college exten¬ 
sion services, the county agents, and farm papers, are all pushing 
seed treatment and, in most cases, are recommending Du Bay products.

COMMON WEEDS 
DANDELIONS, when once in the soil, are perhaps the most trou¬ 
blesome of lawn weeds. Drouth does not affect them, the roots being 
large, thick, and fleshy, growing deeply into the soil. Dandelion, a 
perennial, reproducing by seeds, will bloom during all months of the 
year when the weather is not freezing, but most abundantly in the 
spring. The best means of control is the prevention of new plants 
getting started by giving the grass ideal conditions of growth. “All- 
In-One Garden Aid” has proved most effective. Cutting the crown will 
not kill the weed. Ordinary spudding will not eradicate this weed un¬ 
less done several times during the spring and summer. A pinch of 
salt applied to the root at the time of cutting will retard recovery. 
Gasoline or kerosene might also be used. 
OLD WITCH GRASS, is an annual plant reproducing by seed, 
and is found growing in sandy soil, fields, waste places, and frequently 
in lawns, level prairie areas, and dry places. Seeds ripen from late 
August to November, while the plant blooms from July to November. 
After the plant is mature, the branches become very brittle and the 
large panicles break away and are driven before winds tumbling and 
spreading seed. Prevent seed production by close mowing, hand pull¬ 
ing or spraying with a diluted solution of sulfuric acid. 
YELLOW SORREL will not grow very well in a lawn with a good 
stand of grass. It is an annual or perennial, reproducing by seeds and 
woody rootstalks and is found in poor lawn, woods, roadsides, and 
waste places. Seeds ripen from late May to October. The best 
method of control of yellow sorrel is to prevent seed production by 
deep hoeing or hand pulling before the first flowers mature.
