Summary:

Ever since chemical dust disinfectants came into use for treating the seed of small grains and corn to control smuts and certain other diseases, there has been a need for a suitable treating machine to mix the dust with the seed. The right kind of treater must not only do a thorough job but also must be simple and inexpensive to make and easy to use. The plans in this circular will enable anyone handy with tools to make such a treater in a very short time.
