SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. 251 



COMMITTEE REPORT. 



We have examined and seen the practical working of Clark's Grain Grader and Seed Cleaner, 

 a new fanning mill attachment. It is used in one of Nash & Cutt's improved cleaners. Alter 

 chaffing, the gang is removed and the new device is substituted, and does, in our opinion, 

 superior work in grading and making a first quality of seed grain, and we most cheerfully 

 recommend it to the public.
