The feed-drop and control member have meshing opposed threads for supporting the control member on the feed-drop while enabling the elevation of the control member to be selectively adjusted in response to rotation thereof, whereby the feed-discharge gap between the lower end of the control member and the bottom wall of the pan can be infinitely adjusted over a selected range.
