Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Seed Corn Catalogue: Including Other Grain Announcements and Berkshire Prospectus; Season of 1903
We have two large dry houses built especially for drying seed corn. In one of'them we keep nothing but white corn and the other nothing but yellow. We have fire dried a large amount of corn. We have tested it thoroughly and every grain has sprouted. We have a fine lot of white for this season.' It was grown on a farm where no yellow corn was grown, every precaution taken to prevent mixture, but notwithstanding all this care, our com is not absolutely pure, as we find it impossible to make it so. It is pure enough 'how ever, for all practical purposes. Sometimes in hauling manure. There may be a few grains of corn other than the kind you desire to plant in the field where the manure is spread and some of the grains germ. Inate and grow among the corn as volunteers and one yellow grain will mix the white for forty or more feet around. Of course we throw out all the mixed ears we find but it is impossible to get all of them so that perhaps one grain in one thousand may be tinged with yellow. We are endeavoring to carry on a straight-forward business and only make this announcement to show our customers that we are not wanting to misrepresent our business.
