ANALYZING SEED 
Every lot of seed is carefully ana¬ 
lyzed by expert seed specialists, so 
I’m sure it’s free of all noxious 
weeds and is pure. Each seed in a 
representative sample is carefully 
examined. If the seed is not clean 
—it’s run over mills especially de¬ 
signed to remove all foreign seed. 
Germination tests on everything are 
made here. 
SEED CLEANING 
One of the three big cleaning 
mills capable of cleaning 1000 bush¬ 
els of seed a day. Two of them are 
brand new. These clean your seed 
as pure as seed can be made. Al¬ 
falfa John and Pate are checking 
up on the work it’s doing. These 
are all at my No. 4 building—the 
field seed warehouse.
