A MESSAGE TO SEEDSMEN AND FARMERS 
Putting first things first is one of the cardinal principles of the Advance Seed Company. So seed 
selection is one of our primary functions. 
If basic quality is not in the seed, all of the precision equipment at our command could not put 
it there. It takes originally high quality seed with inherently good characteristics to produce vigorous 
and abundant crops. ‘You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” 
Starting, as we do, with seed of the best strains we proceed with cleaning and processing with com- 
plete confidence in the end results: High purity and germination. 
By daily practicing this foundation principle—leading from known quality and maintaining high 
standards throughout every subsequent function—we serve Seedsmen and Farmers constructively. 
It is this basic service policy which accounts for Advance leadership in field seeds.

A function of utmost importance in seed 
selection and preparation for planting 1s 
quality control. 
Here enters the seed analyst with all of his 
scientific instruments to aid him. Research, 
data compilation, testing, refining are some 
of his vitally important functions. 
He measures, weighs, searches—to the nth 
degree—-and reports his findings in hard, 
cold facts. To the seed analyst a batch of 
seed does or does not meet standards. There 
are no guesswork or half-way methods with 
him. 
Pictured at the right is the new and larger 
Advance Laboratory. It is under the direction 
of a skilled technician.
