THE DRYING AND STOKING OF SEED FOUNT 
Seed storage capacity, 113,000 bushels. Built and equipped for handling seeds. 
shown in this catalogue), just across the tracks about 100 feet west of this one. 
To dry and store corn properly, it 
is necessary to have a building built 
for this purpose. The building shown 
here was built and equipped for this 
purpose. There are large double 
drying doors between the windows 
you see, which are opened in the 
fall, and with all windows pivoted 
in the center the building is pretty 
much all open for drying. The corn 
is placed in wire racks or bins 
which allows the air to circulate 
freely through the corn, drying it 
with little expense. This draft or 
circulation also prevents molds and 
fungus diseases from damaging the 
corn. 
When cool weather comes the 
building is heated and protects corn 
from sudden freezing and thawing 
which greatly reduced vitality and 
often kills the germ. 
Floors are slotted to allow heat to 
pass up through corn. After corn 
is shelled and graded it is ricked up 
on these slotted floors which keeps 
it in best possible condition. Good 
seed corn is often ruined by being 
stored in a building with concrete 
floors and no heat, or outside where 
the corn absorbs moisture from the 
air. Corn should not be stored in an 
air tight room as it needs fresh air 
the same as you do, to live. We 
have another large seed house (not 
Sudan Grass 
Orchard Grass 
Sudan grass is a good emergency crop and if seeded about 
May 1st, after soil warms up, 15 to 18 lbs. per acre will pro¬ 
duce a lot of pasture, in fact more than any grass we know of. 
A good plan is to sow about five pounds of sudan in with 
your soy bean that you expect to make hay out of, or the 
same with cow peas. Prices low this year. See yellow price 
list enclosed. 
Rye Grass 
Rye grass makes the earliest pasture of anything 
you can sow. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre about April 
15th. Can also be used with other mixtures. Some 
sow with oats which they pasture off and then feed 
on the rye grass. Would best be to have a later grass 
as rye grass matures by fall, about Sept. 1st. We can 
furnish you native Oregon grown or Perennial im¬ 
ported rye grass from Denmark. 
See yellow price list for prices.

Orchard grass is one of the earliest grasses to start in the 
spring, remains green during hot dry weather, furnishes an 
abundance of feed and is fairly well liked by stock. Grow’s 
well in the shade and will also stand a lot of hot sun. Best 
used in mixtures. Most of the seed comes from down along 
the Ohio River, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia, in a small 
section, something like red top is produced in a small section 
in Illinois.
