Seed Oats 
Plant Treated Oats. It is 
an established fact that 
Oats (like other grains) 
yields larger crops of better 
quality when treated with 
Ceresan. When treated for 
control of smut and other 
diseases, the vitality of 
plants is greatly increased. 
The demand for treated 
Oats has increased at a 
rapid rate during each of 
the past several years. We 
are well equipped to treat 
oats, during the process of 
cleaning and grading, hence 
the additional cost is very 
small. (See page 8 for more 
detailed information con- 
cerning Ceresan and other 
DuBay products.
