AB - Published September, 1941 NOTES OST large and heavy-seeded crops, such as soybeans, require a M relatively simple threshing device. As seed cleaning devices constructed in the thresher usually render the machine more difficult to clean, it has been found advantageous to construct this cleaning equipment separate from the thresher. A relatively simple type of cleaning device which has given excellent results during the past season with soybeans is shown in Fig. I. As shown in Fig. 2, a forge blower mounted on the thresher is operated from the crank shaft pulley of the small gas engine which operates the thresher. The a %-inch mesh cleaner consists of screen mounted in a suitable metal frame so as to allow the haulm and bean mixture to be shaken by oscillating the screen assembly. All material passing through the screen passes down an inclined chute and encounters a blast of air which is conducted from the forge blower to the cleaner through a flexible 4-inch tube. Chaff and dust are blown up the chute and out of the clean- er (Fig. I A), while the seeds roll down into a funnel-shaped recep- to which a bag mat be at- tacle tached.2 The
