PARSON’S SEED SAVER DUST 
Treats Oats, Wheat, Barley and Grains 
This is probably the cheapest crop insurance you 
ean buy. With high grain prices it is a good invest- 
ment to use a good chemical dust. Treating grains 
before planting is very important. It pays off in 
better quality of grain and larger yields. It is ad- 
visable to guard against smut, blight and other 
diseases by sowing seed that has been treated with 
a good chemical dust. 
It only requires % ounce of Parson’s Seed Saver 
Dust to.treat a bushel of grain at a small cost of 3c 
per bushel. Some farmers claim by treating seeds, it 
helps to reduce seed decay when weather conditions 
are unfavorable for quick germination. 
Rodden, I. 
I have bought seed of you since 
Gentlemen: 
and as long 
1919 and am well pleased so far, 
as I get the quality I have been I will continue. 
Yours respectfully, 
(Signed) Albert M. Taylor. 

Easy and Safe to Use 
Parson’s Seed Saver Dust has scarcely any odor. 
Is easy to apply, as it does not irritate the nose and 
throat like some chemical treatments. You can use 
an old churn, barrel, cement mixer or any method 
that will put a light coating of dust on the seed. 
Some chemical treatments create a gas when 
planted and the gas does the killing. Parson’s Seed 
Saver Dust does it by direct chemical action, It is 
claimed this treatment gives longer protection to 
planted grain. Why don’t. you use this odorless, 
easy to apply treatment. 
Price Prepaid: 1 1b., 90c¢; 5 ibs., $3.75.

Gentlemen: I got 3 bushels of your Clover,
