“Treating seed grain for the control of certain smut 
and other diseases is a standard recommended prae 
tice. It provides good insurance against losses from cer 
tain diseases, and, unless the grower is sure that hi 
seed is not contaminated, treatment should be given 
to all seed wheat, oats, barley,...,”’ says the U.S.D.A 
DOUBLE IN ACTION 
New Improved Ceresan usually destroys seed-borne 
diseases either by direct contact with the spores 
(germs), or by forming a vapor which penetrates 
every crack and cranny of the seed. It also aids in pro- 
tecting the seed against certain soil-borne organisms. 
IMPROVES STANDS & YIELDS 
New Improved Ceresan, by generally controlling cer- 
tain seed- and soil-borne diseases, frequently improves 
stands and increases yields from 6 to 18%—adding a 
real profit to your crop. . 
COSTS ONLY A FEW CENTS AN ACRE 
New Improved Ceresan, in the pound size, costs but 
214¢ to treat a bushel of seed grain or flax—a quart or 
two of seed pays for the disinfectant for an acre. 
TREAT WHEN CONVENIENT 
New Improved Ceresan can be applied as directed to 
well-cured seed 6 to 8 months before planting (except 
sorghums, 2 to 4 weeks) and stored in a dry, well- 
ventilated place. 
SAFE TO SEED AND DRILL 
New Improved Ceresan does not injure seed when 
used according to directions. It is so smooth that it 
does not reduce the planting rate, nor cause drill : 
breakage. There is little flying dust during planting. 
EASY TO APPLY 
New Improved Ceresan may be easily and quickly ap- 
plied to seed by a home-made gravity or rotary treater, 
by the shovel method, or by a commercial machine. 
Custom treaters in many sections will treat seed quick- 
ly and efficiently at small cost. Use a dry filter dust 
mask or clean dry cloth over the nose and mouth, as 
New Improved Ceresan is poisonous to inhale.
