IMPROVED SEED GRAINS PRODUCE GREATER YIELDS OF BETTER QUALITY CROPS 
Be sure to keep posted on the newest varieties developed 
by our Northern Hxperiment Stations and the U. S. Dept. 
of Agriculture. These new grains will bring greater re- 
turns from your investment in land and labor, due to better 
yields, better quality crops, and better resistance to rust, 
wilt, smut and other diseases. 
Spring Wheat Varieties for the Northwest

play a leading role in the Northwest Farmer’s War-time

New RIVAL Spring WHEAT 
Rival is a cross between a selection from 
Ceres, and (Hope x Florence) developed by 
North Dakota Experiment Station and Ss. 
Dept, of Agriculture. 
It’s a bearded mid-season, high yielding, 
hard red spring wheat. Plant is mid-tall and 
kernels quite large. Resistant to stem and leaf 
rust, bunt and loose smut. 

Rival has a higher bushel weight than 
Thatcher and equals Thatcher in milling and 
baking quality. Recommended for southern 
Minnesota by the Minnesota Experiment Sta- 
tion because its high resistance to leaf rust 
makes it yield heavily, and spring wheat fits 
well in the rotation. 
Recommended by the American Society of 
Agronomy, the Northwest and Minnesota Crop 
Improvement Associations and the Minnesota 
Experiment Station. 

Improved THATCHER WHEAT 
Improved Thatcher Wheat was developed by 
the Minnesota Experiment Station and the U. 
S. Dept. of Agriculture, from a double cross 
of (Marquis x Iumillo) x (Marquis x Kanred). 

It is a beardless, hard red spring wheat of 
high yielding ability, and outstanding milling 
and baking quality. Has a very strong straw 
and is highly resistant to stem rust, loose 
smut, and moderately resistant to bunt. 
However, Thatcher is quite susceptible to 
leaf rust, and therefore we do not recommend 
it for southern Minnesota. But in central Min- 
nesota, the Red River Valley, and similar 
territories, where leaf rust is not severe, 
Thatcher gives very good results. 
Thatcher is on the recommended list of the 
Minnesota and the Northwest Crop Improve- 
ment Associations. 
Treat Seed Grains to Prevent Smut 
machine or with a scoop shovel. 
This new bearded winter wheat with better 
milling quality has just been released by Minn. 
Experiment Station. It’s a selection from a 
cross of Marquis (spring) and Minturki 
(winter wheat). New Marmin combines all 
the desirable qualities of each. It equals 
Minturki in yield, rust resistance and winter 
hardiness. It surpasses Minturki in bushel 
weight, hardness of grain, and crumb color 
of bread. Because of this better milling quality 
and greater bushel weight, Marmin will prob- 
ably “grade higher on the market. Approved 
by American Society of Agronomy. 
MINTURKI WINTER WHEAT 
Minturki is the outstanding hardy winter 
wheat. It is a high yielding bearded hard red 
winter variety of high milling and baking 
quality and good protein content. It is stiff 
strawed and stands up well on rich land.

A measuring 
All seed grains including wheat, barley, 
oats, rye and flax are susceptible to 
smuts of various kinds which reduce the 
yields from 10% to 50% in many instances. 
Some varieties are attacked more vigorously 
than others, but no matter how susceptible 
the variety may be to smut, it can be con- 
trolled almost entirely by simple methods, 
Formaldehyde and Copper-carbonate have 
been used extensively in the past for treat- 
ing smut in grains, with only fair to good results. 
The Best Treatment To Use Is New Improved Ceresan 
New improved Ceresan is a dust treatment—no wet, swol- 
len grain to handle. It may be applied with a regular seed 
Improved Ceresan: 4 oz. (treats 8 bu. of seed grains), 30c, 

treating 
spoon will be found in each can. 
The grain produced has a higher market value because 
it is free from smut. Only one-half ounce of New Improved 
Ceresan is needed per bu. of seed. It is quickly and easily 
applied as a dust by use of a rotary seed treating machine 
or by the shovel method. After treating, the seed should 
be stored in a pile or in sacks for 24 hours before planting. 
New Improved Ceresan controls stinking smut of wheat, 
loose and covered smut of oats, black loose smut and stripe 
in barley. Ceresan is inexpensive, costing only about 2c 
per bu. of seed. This is the lowest cost of any seed treat- 
ment on the market. By using New Improved Ceresan you 
may increase the yield of grain by 10% to 20% or more. 
1-lb. tin 85c, postpaid; not prepaid, 5-Ilb. tin $3.40. 

Good Seed Grains, When Treated with Ceresan, Produce Larger Yields
