deed grain lilco potatoes
should bo treated for seed diseas
es before planting, so as to aid
^n increased yields and quality
of the crop grown, Tho::e are
several treatments which nay bo
used satisfactorily, but the r.iost
modern treatment is the use of the
improved Ccrcsan. This is to be
applied at the rate of ounce
per bushel. This nay be nixed in
a special made mixer, or by scoop
ing the grain so that it is thor
oughly nixed. Treated grain r.iay
be seeded at once, or stored'for
a period of at least 4 weeks.
Ordinarily grain should not bo
treated more than 4 weeks before
seeding because of the uncertain
effect or the seed gemination.
This treatment is easily applied
and does not cake in the drill,
nor will it corrode the drill
parts. Do not food treated seed

bo injured "if more than b ounce
of the disinfectant is used per
bushel. Bo sure ta get the rec
