Crop authorities 
advise using # 
New Improved jf, «0 R 
CERESAN 
to check seed 
decay, reduce seed- 
ling blight, control 
stinking smut. 










New Improved CERESAN generally increases 
the germination of shriveled, low-vitality seed 
wheat 10 to 20 per cent. Numerous __ tests 
prove this! 
At the average seedling rate you can use 
it for less than 8c an acre. Half an ounce 
treats a bushel of seed. You can apply it by 
gravity treater with no labor of turning. Very 
little flying dust. No drill damage The U. 
S. Department of Agriculture approves this 
treatment. It generally reduces seed rotting 
and seedling blight, controls stinking smell, 
and in, farm tests has increased yields an 
average of 1.13 bushels an acre even on clean 
seed. ; 
Extracts From State Seed Laws 
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. 
New Federal Seed Law 
Regulates the sale of all seeds in in- 
terstate transit, except those sold by 
the ACTUAL GROWER, and requires 
accurate 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. 


SELL... DU BAY 
You never have had as great an opportunity to sell the 
Du Bay line as today. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, 
college extension service, the county agents, and farm papers, 
are all pushing seed treatment and, in most cases, are recom- 
mending Du Bay products.

B nyant dayA4: 
Planting conditions are generally partic- 
ularly favorable and it would seem wise 
to get most crops in quite early in order 
to utilize the surplus moisture now avail- 
able. 
Peddlers, on account of so much foul 
seed being left in the hands of growers, 
are particularly active and price cutting is 
prevalent. 
However, you cannot afford, in order to 
save a few cents, to take a chance on hand- 
ling anything not backed and tagged by a 
Reputable Established Seed House.
