untreated. 
This is a duPont (dust-form) product—doing a fine 
job. Purpose is to reduce blight, avoid root rot of 
tiny seedlings right after sprouting—before they 
emerge from the soil. 
Arasan treatment coats the seed with dust to pro- 
tect seed and seedling in the soil against fungi. 
Too long overlooked has been the killing off of 
tender seedlings, blighted before they could break 
through the ground. The ones that would get 
through showed but little evidence of disease. By 
digging into drill rows, it was discovered that many 
other seeds did germinate . . . but often their tops 
and roots had been killed. Hence the effort to get 
more tiny plants up—past that stage of high seedling 
mortality . . . thus.the stand of healthy plants made 
much better. That’s what Arasan is doing. 
Apply Arasan . . . Then INOCULATE, Too! 
Treat Legume seeds with Arasan. Later, inoculate 
when sowing. There is no interference by either 
treatment. Both are great aids to better crops. 
Arasan Valuable on Other Seeds, Too 
Success of Arasan on Alfalfa has been outstanding. 
Sudan and Timothy have been helped greatly. Some 
of the other Legume seeds showed favorable results 
—Birdsfoot Trefoil, Alsike, Red Clover, Lespedeza, 
Soybeans. Some of the pasture grasses also. 
Arasan does not contain mercury or other metal 
. . . non-poisonous. ‘Eight ounces treats 100 pounds.
