Don't wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do it
now, while you have plenty of grain
at hand from which to select. The
best 25 bushels Of grain out Of 100
bushels is worth much more for seed
than is the grain that can be cleaned
from a much smaller amount in the
spring. The cost Of thus cleaning
and grading the grain is very slight,
