We are showing here a few of the machines that 
we use in cleaning and grading our seeds. Some of 
these are installed in batteries of 3 or 4. Then there 
are seores of sereens for some of these machines. 
Others work on a different basis and use no screens 
at all. All of them require expert adjustment ac- 
cording to the kind of seed being cleaned and the 
impurities to be removed. Sometimes we buy seed 
already cleaned but for the most part we do all our 
own cleaning and grading. We have the equipment 
and the know how. 
MODERN CLEANING 
After going through our plant all lots are tested 
in our laboratory. Test tags are prepared to show 
the purity, germination and any other information 
that the Federal Law requires for shipments going 
into your state. You know what you get when you 
buy from Berry’s. 

This cleaner uses screens 
and regulates air blast 
in processing seed. We 
have several of these 
types. 
This peculiar cleaning 
machine has rolls cov- 
ered with velvet that 
pick up certain rough 
weed seeds while the 
smoother clover seeds 
go through. 


A "Gravity" grader which separates seed 
by weight instead of size. It will do many 
cleaning jobs a screen grader cannot do. 


One of our “length” 
graders which separates 
corn kernels for length 
have been graded for thickness and 
width. 

You probably can’t come to visit us, but if you 
can, you certainly are welcome. We will be glad to” 
show you any part of our operations you would like 
to see. To those of you who cannot come, we ask | 
that you get acquainted with us on this page. Most | 
of us have been with Berry’s a long time. We all> 
work together to serve our customers’ interest, : 
It isn’t just the experience and knowledge that we ~ 
have that enables us to help you. We have a sincere? 
desire to make Berry’s seed values the finest in the 
nation. This spirit of friendliness and cooperation 
with our customers is your best assurance of satis- | 
factory dealings. If you are a new customer, we in- 
vite you to let us serve you. We willtry to do it well. |

NEW SEED TREATMENT AVAILABLE 
We strive to lead the Seed Trade in developing 
methods and processes that will help farmers get 
better stands of grasses and clovers. See page 33 for § 
detailed information on this sensational development. ~ 
This machine is used 
in our first step of 
grading corn. It 
separates Flat and 
Round kernels. Both 
Flats and Rounds 
are then graded for 
accurate planting. 

A combination grader that first sep- 
arates corn according to thickness of 
kernels and then according to width. 
Our seed corn is all 
chemically treated. 
See page 33 for de- 
tails. Treated seed 
will stand more un- 
favorable weather 
conditions after 
planting. Our seed 
is triple treated to 
give every known 
protection to assure 
the best stand and 
plants. 

This shows exposed, the rings through which 
corn must pass in thickness grading. The 
space between is perigee to 1/84 of an 
inch.
