The spotty stand of potatoes on the left grown from 
untreated seed did not produce as large a yield as the 
fine stand of vigorous plants on the right from Im- 
proved Semesan Bel treated seed. 
your seed potatoes are ready for 
planting. Semesan Bel may be used 
on either whole or cut seed pieces. 
Semesan Bel effectively controls 
such seed-borne disease organisms 
as scab, rhizoctonia and black-leg. 
By controlling these diseases, germ- 
ination is generally increased, stand 
improved and the resultant crop big- 
ger and of better quality. One pound 
i treats 60 to 80 bushels of seed.

CULTURE—Plant about four inches deep in rows 28 to 
34 inches apart, and drop the potatoes 12 to 15 inches 
apart in the row. The soil should be well manured or 
well fertilized. A ridge should be thrown over the 
potatoes after planting and then level down just be- 
fore the potatoes come through, and cultivate well 
until in bloom, and then ridge up again and leave alone 
until harvested. Use JOHN DEERE POTATO PLANT- 
ERS AND DIGGERS. 
IRISH COBBLER—We believe we are safe in saying 
that 75 per cent of all the extra early potatoes 
planted today are Cobbler. Its popularity is based 
principally on its extreme earliness, but is also based 
on its reputation as a reliable and uniform yielder. 
One of its strong characteristics is that it makes few 
if any very small potatoes, practically all being medium 
to large size, and you rarely see a knotty Cobbler, for 
they are generally plump, handsome potatoes with 
smooth skin. The tubers are round to oval in shap; 
slightly flattened, have strong, well-developed eyes; 
the flesh is pure white and cooks dry and mealy. A 
first-class potato in every respect, thoroughly depend- 
able and well worth a place in every garden.

CERTIFIED IRISH COBBLERS—It is false economy to 
save fifty cents or a dollar a bag by buying poor 
common potatoes when certified seed can be had—the 
most successful potato growers use nothing but certi- 
fied seed. Certification has done for potatoes what 
breeding has done for horses, cattle, hogs, etc. During — 
the growing season the fields must be inspected at 
regular intervals to detect diseases. If the percentage 
exceeds the limit prescribed by law, the field is con- 
demned. The small additional cost of certified seed 
over poor seed is not worth considering. There is less 
disease, more No. 1 potatoes and greater profit to the 
grower. Every bag will carry the tag of the inspection 
authorities; this is an assurance that every safeguard 
has been applied to have them as pure as is humanly 
possible. Prices quoted on request.
