Next the corn is run over a two- 
cylinder grader which is shown 
below. This grader makes 9 grades 
of corn. We discard 3 of these leav¬ 
ing 6 grades to sell—medium or 
large flats which goes as first grade 
corn; small flats or medium rounds 
evenly graded, which goes in the sec¬ 
ond grade corn; large or small 
rounds evenly graded which goes in 
the number three grade which we are 
offering to you at from $3 to $4 per 
bushel according to the variety. If 
you have a hill drop planter, these 
round grains can be used just as well 
as the flat grains, and often the large 
and medium round grains produce 
much stronger, healthier stalks of 
corn than any other grains on the ear. There is no difference in the quality of the different grades 
as they all come off the same ear, but simply a matter of size. 
Next we grade this corn for length over a Carter Cylinder 
Grader as shown below which sorts the grain as to length. If 
there are many light weight grains left by this time, corn goes 
over a Sutton Steel & Steel Gravity Mill. 
The last is the treating machine which disinfects the corn 
with Semesan Jr. This is a great protection and while we make 
no extra charge for this, it is often worth to you from $1 to $3 
per acre. Often increase yields from 2 to 5 bushels per acre. 
If you have a wet season it will prevent corn from decaying and 
you will get a much better stand. Corn will also come up 
quicker when treated with Semesan Jr. as this acts as a stimu¬ 
lant to the young plant. 
All our corn is packed in one bushel bags for which we make 
no Charge. S Tw |„ <£l|”£!™Gw.«ler 
After the corn is shelled it is run 
over a big 29 “D” Clipper cleaner, a 
grader which takes out all parts of 
cobs, dust and the largest and small¬ 
est grains which are discarded as 
seed. This mill also weighs every 
grain and takes out the light grains.

SOY BE AYS 
We are one of the largest handlers 
of soy beans in the United States. 
For many years we have sold around 
one hundred carloads a year for seed. 
We are in a position to handle soy 
beans to a very good advantage, hav¬ 
ing two houses in the producing sec¬ 
tion where thousands of bushels are 
taken in from the combines at the 
time harvested. Our San Jose house 
is equipped so one man can clean a 
thousand bushels a day. 
The quality of soy beans this year 
is the best we have ever seen, owing 
to the ideal fall for harvesting them.
