CLEANING AND GRADING CORN 


Roz 


Largest Clipper 
Cleaner and Grader 
MORECORN GRADERS 




We not only have buildings 
built for the drying, storing and 
Shipping large. quantities of 
seed, but also have the best 
machinery we can buy for the 
cleaning and grading of seeds. 
The large clipper mills are 
usedfor the first two operations 
in grading corn, all corn run 
through at least two 29D mills, 
with seives set differently. 
Years ago we did not grade corn 
at all, later only one of these 
machines was used and then we 
thought we had the corn graded 
to perfection. Now all corn is 
run through or over at least 
Six machines, These machines 
costs thousands of dollars and 
every extra machine means 
more power and labor costs. 
These large clippers discard 
all the grains which are too 
large or too small toplant, giv- 
ing us only the best to go on 
through the other mills. 
The cut of the More corn, shows the old type which we no longer use. The new mills are 
much larger, having five cylinders on top and four below. These machines size all corn 
into grades, We get several grades with this machine. Only five saved. 
FOSBERG GRAVITY MILL 
We have always used Sutton, Steele & Steele gravity 
mills, exclusively, until this year we put in a new 
Fosberg gravity built especially for hybrid corn. 
These gravity mills grade by weight, removing prac- 
tically all the rotten or dead grains. In fact, they 
can detect dead grains where the eye could not tell 
them, Picture shown on page 15. 
Carter Cylinder 
Grader

Twin Cylinder Grader 
HART-CARTER 
LENGTH GRADERS 
This is a strange looking corn 
grader, one which is used for 
length grading. Inside this case 
is a large cylinder with inden- 
tations, in which grains are 
measured and sorted as to 
length. A rather complicated 
and expensive machine. 
The capacities of most of 
these machines are limited to 
around 35 bushelper hour, You 
can see to handle 100,000 bushel 
of seed corn takes several 
machines and a lot of time.
