Importance of
- Cleaning Seed
Before Sowing

The cleaning of seed grain should be
gue of the most important operations
on the farm, and the farmer who re-
tains clenn land and produces clean

srain yeur after year must follow the
practice oF thoroughly clenning ’ all
eran before seeding.

The machinery necessary for clean-

‘stud other impurities ta be removed,
impurities such as broken straw, chaff
wud weeil seeds: which differ markedly
in. size nnd shape from the grain he-
ing cleaned can be readily clenned by
most fanning mills properly operated
The weed ‘seeds which are much the
sme size os the: ernin being- cleaned
are the main diffleulty and where such
separations -are to be. made special:
uiuchines are necessary. and in spectal
cases, as separating wild. oats ,. from
oats, ‘the only thorough method of.
vlenning is by hand -plekings: «1.
