farm ottawa oood quality that is the whole secret no matter whether the com comes from south africa the united states or from the farms of canada good quality means com that is well matured naturally dried high in starch and low in moisture it means that the grower must use a hybrid or variety that will ripen normally m the average season artificially dried- corn is of no use to the starch manu facturer because it results in a poor separation of starch from the gluten which is the most important step in the starch manufacturing process while- artificial drying at a low tern perature might prove satisfactory it is too expensive the most practical and satisfactory method for dryrng corn intended for starch manufacture therefore is by putting it in the crib oreat advances have been made m the gro of corn in canada in recent years eejbrlds are available that have a wide adaptation grow ers should have no difficulty in choos ing hybrids that will result in well matured com and well matured corn means good quality com that is high in starch and low in moisture with this com properly cribbed there sho ild be no handicap in supplying the entire requirements of the starch industry

georgetown onl subscribe o the herald this is one in a series of meesages explaining problems of electric supply to farm and hamlet consumers served direct by the bjdroelectric power commission of ontario uniform rural meter rates anywhere in ontario our last advertisement illustrated the reductions which will apply to farm and hamlet services in most areas in the province herein we give some of the reasons for and benefits of the new uniform meter rate the cost of rural electric service is made up of two main parts 1 the cost of providing electricity in bulk at convenient central points substations 2 the cost of distributing this electricity from these substations to the since electricity cannot be stored up of poles conductor transformers etc to carry the electricity from the sub station to the consumer so that each user will have service available at the flip of a snitch to the cost of building these lines must be added the cost of main taining and operating them elfrctric service rates originally included a service charge to cover the cost of aistributlon plus a meter rate to cover the cost of the bulk electricity at the substation the province was divided into a number of rural power districts created around avallaole substations wltnout particular regard to town ship or county boundaries each of these districts had its own meter rate varying from a high of 6c 2c and c to a low of 2mte lc and c during the past twenty years many complications and inequalities have arisen in trying to maiifliln the identity of these districts therefore in order to provide suitable service to all at the lowest and fairest cost the 120 rural power districts have been combined into otic provincial rural power sysem with a uniform meter rate of 4c 1 6 10c and c now all rural power con sumers anywhere in the province pay the same meter rate this uniform rate represents j reduction in moat of the old districts and an increase in only a few districts formerly having a very low rate these explanations are given to help you understand the new rate in our next message we shall discuss for your benefit the minimum bill m the meantime if you need farther information please ask your rural district superintendent the hydroelectric power commission of ontario i tn order to have a complete understanding of the jrew rural rates we suggest yoa objj and keep thsse
