stored in the building, by virtue of this 

 construction. 



' ' The building is 36x100. The cement 

 blocks up to the first floor are twelve 

 inches thick and from that floor to the 

 top they are nine inches thick. The first 

 floor is twelve feet in the clear, the sec- 

 ond floor is ten feet eight inches high 

 and the third floor ranges from seven and 

 one-half feet to eleven feet high. All of 

 the weight of the building rests upon 

 pilasters and there are eight of these 

 pilasters along each side wall and two 

 on the end walls. Heavy beams extend 

 through from wall to wall and rest upon 

 the pilasters. These pilasters are of 

 heavy construction and give the building 

 a solid, massive appearance, and insure 

 firmness. 



' ' The main floor is of cement construc- 

 tion. The bed of the cement is five 

 inches thick, with one inch of surface 

 dressing. The second and third floors 

 are of mill construction, with maple as 

 the top material. The fire risk is ma- 

 terially reduced on account of this con- 

 struction. 



"The process through which the seeds 

 pass from the time of their arrival at 

 the plant until they are finally ready for 

 shipment is so complete that the seeds 

 are as thoroughly cleaned and perfect as. 

 human hands and improved machinery 

 can make them. All seeds arrive at the 

 plant in bags. They come either by 

 boat, by rail or by farmer 's wagon. They 

 are unloaded onto trucks having a carry- 

 ing capacity of twelve bags; the average 

 load weighs approximately 2,500 pounds. 

 The seeds are taken aboard an elevator 

 on the trucks and lifted to the third 

 floor, where the process of cleaning them 

 starts. On the north side of the third 

 floor is situated what is known as the 

 feed bin. The peas are removed from 

 the bags to this feed bitiNnnd pass down 

 to the mill on the second floor. This mill 

 is called the '29 Clipper' and is used in 

 ninety-nine per cent of the seed plants 

 in the country. It has a capacity of 200 

 bushels per hour and is operated by an 

 electric motor. It carries four screens, 

 each screen being 48x66 inches. It also 

 carries two fans. The upper fan takes 

 out all dust, dirt, chaff, etc., from the 

 seed stock and then the peas pass over 

 two sets of screens and the small peas 

 are removed. Next the peas pass through 

 a second strong air blast and this process 

 removes the light weight peas. Pulleys 

 are used so that the speed of the mill 

 may be regulated. 



"What is called the dust room is a 

 part of the mill. It derives its name 

 from the fact that all dust and dirt, 

 refuse of all kinds, accumulate in this 

 room. The lighter weight dust is blown 

 out through a window, while the heavier 

 dust settles on the floor and is removed. 

 The heavier screening drops through a 

 fhute and eventually gets to the first 

 floor and is there drawn off in bags and 

 disposed of. "Waste is taken out in eight 

 grades from this mill. The A. T. Fer- 

 rell Co., Saginaw, Mich., is the builder 

 of the mill and representatives of the 

 company aided in installing it. Mr. Olm- 

 sted had the mill placed so that it takes 

 up as little room as possible and each bit 

 of space around it is utilized for some 

 purpose or other. All available space is 

 put to some purpose and as much of the 

 floors is used for the storage of seeds 

 as possible. 



"After leaving the mill the peas drop 

 to the main floor into ba'^ and the seed
