WE SELL 6 GRADES 
OF SEED CORN 
In grading corn we get several grades but — 
discard all but six grades. We usually sell 
about 50% of the corn which comes into 
seed house as seed. The other 50%, part 
is shrink in drying and loss in grading 
through several machines, each machine 
discarding a certain quantity. 
We sell Large Flats, Medium Flats, 
Thick Flats, and Regular Flats. In the 
Rounds we sell the Large Rounds and 
Medium Rounds only discarding this year 
the Small Rounds and Small Flats. 
The larger grains produce the strongest 
plants and as a plant lives only on plant 
food stored up in the grain of corn until it

keep growing. This push is produced by the plant food stored up in the large grains of 
corn. While a smaller grain may eventually produce as much corn that is rather doubt- 
ful. It is one reason why we recommend large rounds, medium rounds,and thick flats 
which contain a lot of plant food.

ALL CORN TREATED WITH SEMESAN JR. 
It is now an established fact that corn treatment will often increase the yield of 
corn from 2 to 5 bushels per acre the increase will often be more than the cost of the 
seed. 
Unless otherwise ordered our corn is now all treated with Semesan Jr. This is 
a poisonous substance and we would advise you to keep it away from all stock with 
the exception of hogs.
