;, AHchange in ownership of the Deni-
son Seed company was effected last
week, when Mr.. E. C. Baum sold out
his half interest in the concern to Mr..
Albert, Weiss. The seed company is
now owned by Mr.. Jacob Weiss and
his son, Albert, who expect, to- con-
duct the business along the same lines
as in the past, but hope to enlarge it
to some extent. Mr.. Baum was I'M
able to devote as much attention to
the business as it required and deemed
it best to dispose of his interest. He
will continue in the ice business in
Denison, however.
The Denison Seed company is one of
the largest institutions of its kind in
western Iowa, although it has been in
operation less than two years. Last
year 1900 bushels Of seed corn was
handled by the concern and yet we
have to hear Of a single complaint in
the seed which was sold. Last sum-
mer an addition was built to the in
stitution measuring 24x64x9 feet and
this building is devoted entirely to
the storing of seed. Immense racks
hold the corn where each ear is kept
dry. This year the company has 1900
bushels of excellent seed corn, all Of
which was raised in this territory.
The corn will be tested thoroughly be-
fore being sold to farmers. r..
Mr.. Albert Weiss, the new member
of the firm, informs us that new
cleaning machine has recently been
installed at an expense of several hun
dred dollars, with which all seed will
be cleaned, insuring farmers that their
seed will not contain weeds. Farmers
may bring their own seed to the plant
and have it cleaned at small expense.
In addition to seed corn the firm will
handle all kinds of seed, including al
falfa, clover, timothy, blue grass, oats,
wheat, barley etc.
