HOW IS SEED CORN 
HANDLED IN THE 
JACQUES SEED HOUSE? 
The seed ears are handled entirely by hand. 
There are no conveyors, no machinery to bruise or 
scratch the kernels. When the seed coat of a corn 
kernel is scratched, disease germs can enter just 
like they can enter the human body when the 
human skin is scratched. We believe that the 
extra vigor of Jacques Proven Hybrid Seed Corn is 
due partly to the system of handling the seed ears 
by hand and carefully guarding against mechan- 
ical damage. — 
HOW IS JACQUES 
PROVEN HYBRID 

SEED CORN DRIED? 

Jacques seed ears are brought direct from the 
fields to the drier—are never held in wet storage. 
The drier has a capacity of 20,000 bushels at one 
fill, Heated air, temperature controlled by ther- 
mostats, is circulated through the seed ears by 
powerful fans until the seed is uniformly reduced 
to 13% moisture. Jacques owned and operated the 
first large commercial Wright Seed Corn Drier and 
so has had more experience than any other hybrid 
seed corn producer in the operation of modern 
seed corn driers. Inexperienced operators may hurt 
the vigor of seed corn even if they do not kill it by 
improper drying.
