PLANT SEED TREATED WITH 
DUPONT ARASAN 
Now you can be more certain of a good catch of grass and legumes. Treating the 
seed with DuPont Arasan Seed Disinfectant gives a difference you can see. Disease 
organisms that cause seed to rot and seedlings to blight are present in all topsoil. 
These enemies do their damage whenever the seed has trouble to come up, and they 
thrive in weather that’s unfavorable for the seed.

is such effective ‘’'Catch’’ insurance. 
“ARRASAN” destroys these seed 
That’s why “ARASAN” 
“BRRASAN” can be used on Clovers such as Lespedeza, Red Clover, Alfalfa, Sweet 
Clover, Alsike, Ladino, Bur, and White Dutch; on Grasses, Sudan Grass, Fescues, 
Dallis Grass, Kentucky Blue Grass, and Red Top Grass; Soy Beans, Peanuts and Corn. 
You can also use Nitragin on your Soy Beans and Peanuts even though they have 
been treated with ARASAN. It takes about 8 ozs. to 12 ozs. to treat a hundred pounds 
of Clovers and Grasses. It takes 34 oz. to treat a bushel of corn. It takes 1 oz. to treat 
a bushel of Soy Beans.

BUCKWHEAT 
It is well adapted and may be sown in yery 
early spring or late summer, maturing 
about two months. It is easily grown, desir- 
able and profitable for large grain yields, 
flower food for bees, and turned under it is a 
good soil improver. Where weeds are thick, 
buckwheat will smother them and put the 
soil in good condition for the crops that fol- 
low. Buckwheat makes a fine quality of 
flour, the kind that goes into the famous 
eeenoat Cakes.’ It's great for poultry

BASIC SLAG 
The Soil Conditioner 
and Builder 
_ In either making or improving a pasture, 
it is necessary to use a soil builder, con- 
ditioner or fertilizer to secure the most 
profitable results. Pasture soils deficient 
in the necessary food or minerals produce 
grazing low in the elements that build 
body tissue, beef, and increase the pro- 
duction of milk. 
A pasture may produce an abundance 
of grass and yet the stock will not thrive. 
This is usually because the grass is lack- 
ing in calcium, phosphoric acid and other 
minerals. Agricultural authorities and 
Southern farmers have found that an easy 
way to have a thick, healthy pasture 
grass rich in many minerals is to use 
U. S. S. Tennessee Basic Slag. 
Stock raisers all over the South are 
rapidly realizing the importance of Basic 
rag h for making pastures to produce qual- 
ity beef quickly, increase milk production, 
and reduce feed bills.
