Drying 
All corn is dried in bins with heated air 
forced through the corn at a temperature 
of about ninety to one hundred degrees. 
This is the best modern improved method 
of drying. As soon as it is dry below 
thirteen per cent moisture it is shelled and 
cleaned through one of the newest im-’ 
proved shellers made. It is then stored in 
bags in dry, well ventilated warehouse. 
Grading 
It is first run over a cleaner to discard all 
cobs, oversize kernels, small and cracked 
kernels. Then is run through a grader 
which is the newest, most accurate in grad- 
ing. All grades that need it are then length 
graded. The corn is in condition now to 
plant accurately with any well regulated 
planter using suitable plates. 
Treating 
When grading is completed, and grading 
has been accepted by our State Inspectors, 
it is then treated with a seed dust treat- 
ment. This treatment protects the kernels 
from rotting, gives it stronger vitality, 
thereby improves stands, and increases 
yields. 
Sealing 
It is now ready for sealing, when moist- 
ure content, grading, germination, is satis- 
factory. It is now sealed by some inspector 
under the supervision of the Hybrid corn 
office of the Wisconsin Experiment Asso- 
ciation. It is now ready to be sold. 
When corn is sealed with a tag and seal 
does not mean a thing, if the producer was 
careless in some of his performances. The 
Hybrid is no better than the honesty of the 
man that put it in or had it put in the sacks. 
Our corn has produced such good results, 
which is proof that our corn is handled in 
the right way. 
This season we are putting most of our 
corn in our own brand sacks. Some will be 
in Experiment Association sacks.
