TREAT ALL SEED GRAIN WITH 
NEW IMPROVED CERESAN 
All seed grain, including resistant varieties such as Vicland 
Oats, should be treated with New Improved Ceresan for maxi- 
mum yields. Por healthier and better stands treat all grain 
with New Improved Ceresan. 
It is a dry treatment which effectively kills certain seed- 
borne grain diseases by both contact and vapor. Recommended 
Inexpensive—one pound treats 
Use 
New Improved Ceresan on— 
Barley—Usually controls seed-borne stripe, covered and 
black (not brown) loose smuts, and reduces seedling blight 
and root-rot. 
Oats—Generally controls loose and covered smuts and re- 
duces seedling blight and root-rot. 
Wheat—Usually controls seed-borne bunt or stinking smut, 
but not loose smut. It reduces seedling blight and root-rot 
losses; also smut dockage. 
Rye—Generally effective against scab seedling blight, stem 
smut and stinking smut, ; 
Sorghums—Checks loose and covered kernel smuts, 
Flax—Reduces damping-off and seed decay; helps secure 
good stands. 
Peas—Generally checks certain root-rots and seed rotting, 
helps insure good stands. One pound treats 16 bushels. 
Prices: 4-oz. can (treats 8 bu.), 30c; 1 l1b., 80c; 4 Ilbs.,
