A drug is Worthless if in curing a disease it also poisons the patient. scientific research during the past ten or twelve years as culminated in the development of a new series of seed ? introduced to the agricultural industry as the Semesan rCe<i disinfectants* The trade name Semesan is derived *om Cwo Latin roots, namely, semen, a seed, and smm.\\ camng clean, sound or healthy. Hence, the word Semesan means "healthy seeds*' and typifies the amazing qualitms of these compounds for effectively destroying the fierms, spores and other micro-organi$ms which may he carried on the surface of seeds and plants, or which may in oiue Cases exist internally. In accomplishing this result ti^leSa *S *n 110 waT harmful to the seed embryo or plant From the amateur whose unbounded enthusiasm in April and May to "make a garden" collapses in diseasesofamostastomshing array of seeds and plants. From this primary substance have been prepared two modified forms, die first called Semesan Jr., and the second Semesan Bel. Semesan Jr, is exclusively a dust disinfectant made primarily for the disinfection of field and sweet seed corn against the car, root and stalk diseases, but it has also been successfully employed for the treatment of grain mod vegetable plant ings. Semesan Bel is chiefly an instantaneous dip treatment for white and sweet potatoes, as well as other similar roots arid tubers of flowers and edible plants. Not only tlo Semesan disinfectants prevent or control diseases and fungoid growths, thereby permitting the seed and plant to grow vigorously, unhampered by the ravages of parasites, but they also appear to have a stimulatory action, not of a fertilization nature, because they ate m no sense a plant food, but rather characteristic of tonics. As an obvious result, Semesan-treated seeds and plants gen erally germinate or grow faster, reach maturity earlier and bear heavier than can those which do not have (Conthmtd an page 24) 4## Dt; ]*0>rr.fuw--/r?o MAKING CASCa DU BEHAVE State, for Instance. On the road between Ithaca and Drydcra, in Tompkins County* is a steel and concrete bridge spanning this creek. It was built in 1909 at a cost of $iotooo. Now the Cascad.illa should not have nursed any particular grievance because the bridge was built there, but if you will glance at one of the accom panying pictures it will give von some idea of what this ill-tempered stream did to a perfectly good bridge. Nature set the stage for its downfall by throwing out a point of land a short distance upstream, and the water sweeping around the obstruction cut into the hanks and eventually undermined one of the bridge foundations, so that $',fooo had to be spent m reconstructing it. The highway authorities realized that something must be done to prevent a recurrence of the trouble. Thev asked a du Pout representative to "straighten out'* the stream, and this is the story of how the work wets done under his supervision. It was a quick, inexpensive ditching job, of interest here because similar conditions mav be found in many other localities where streams are causing trouble. First, a ditch line was laid out across the projecting strip of land for a distance of 12.0 feet, with a 6o-foot ex tension into the main creek channel. At spaced intervals along this line, charges of 60 per cent du Poet dynamite were loaded in holes, each charge being primed with an electric blasting cap. The blast was set oil, and die result was a new, straight channel ten feet wide at the top, four feet wide at the bottom, and four feet deep. This work was done by four men in eight hours* rime. The total cost for labor, explosives and all accessories amounted to $56.30, or about thirty cents per cubic yard. The Cascadilia, properly chastened and re-directed, now flows in a straight course under the bridge, and the foun dations arc no longer menaced by its waters. All of which goes to prove that a little dynamite properly placed and exploded will "straighten out" many a trouble-making stream if It is given the opportunity. 6 -7hc 131" J7*ONT-it ucfciv; 710 FIFTEEN YEARS WITH CHEVROLET H'Pen-in is hivcjby nronleJ t.kt`ja-tr-lnzn>rr i-xp*r,/sim which hnx Iif/tul ihix molar enr j-mm fomp-jv.-ni-tc ohxc/tritj lo .-/// -w i.ihle position in tin* Ion -prim-/ juU I ' a Modest shop on brand River A\cmie, Detroit, i:i 1 'P,Kj- a Frenchman was tinkering wj ch a noisv little ka^>lj;Jc iiHHer.
