Iñ speaking with Mr. Bill Hurst, Soils & Crops Special- ist, with the Ontario Mnistry of Agriculture & Food in Brighton, he did point out that there shouldn't be too much problem with corn drying down to a reasonable moisture percentage provided we get some warm weather between now and the end of October. If the husks of the corn cob are apening up then the corn will likely dry down another ten points in~moisture. We have ound that a large amount of corn across the County is testing between 35 and 40 per cent moisture. Assuming that we have a week to ten days of reasonably warm weather, the corn should dry down to anywhere from 25 to 30 per cent moisture. Mr. Hurst did comment that corn that is in the milk stage, at present, definitely will not mature for grain purposes and farmers do have two alterna- tives, neither one of which is probably too attractive to most farmers as the corn that they did want to use for grain is not suitable for any other type of feed. However, if you do have corn that is still in the milk or dough stage you can take it off as silage and put it in a pile or into a silo or the least favourable alternative is to plow the corn down. We would recommend that if you are in doubt as to the moisture percentage on your corn you get a moisture test done to give you some idea of where your corn is at present, and how long it might take to dry down to a reasonable lever. With the high costs of drying TO THE RATEPAYERS 0F THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS THE FORMATION OF A RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1974 AT 8:00 P.M.

Corn that is to be stored in cribs on the cob should be at about 35 to 38 per cent moisture now and in two to three weeks time it would be down to a level that would be suitable for putting into the crib. Century Farm Project The Century Farm Project is once again being carried out by the Junior Farmer's As- sociation of Ontario. This project was carried out in 1967 which was the Canadian Centennial year and is being carried out again in 1974-75. The project is one to locate and identify Century farms in the Province of Ontario. In order to qualify as a Century farm, the farm ihust have been owned by direct descen- dents of the same family for 100 or more years as of the date of application and a farm must have someone living on it and it must be in active operation as a farm unit. An incorporated farrn is eligible if it meets the qualifications of being in the same family for 100 or more years. A County or district supervising commit- tee with the Junior Farmer Provincial Director, as chair- man, will make all final decisions regarding eligibility of a farm in that County or district. Persons wishing to apply for the designation of a Century farm must submit an applica- tion to the County Junior Farmer Provincial Director. Mrs. Brenda Metcalf of R.R. 2, Bowmanville - telephone number 623-5001, is the Junior Farmer Provincial Director for Durham and she does have application forms for Century Farni designation. The appli cation must be accompanied by a cheque or money order payable ta the Junior Farmer Association of Ontarin to cover the cost of the sign. The signs that are presented to Century Farms will be sold to the farmer at cost by the Junior Farmer Association of Ontario. The cost for the new signs is $7.00. If County farmers wish to make application, they can contact Mrs. Metcalf or the Agricultural office and we will forward application forms to you.

Miss Darl ne Malcolm who is a second year student in ceramics at Sheraton College of Oakville spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Murray Malcolm and girls. This year's annual Thanks- giving Dinner attendance was down somewhat from last year. The inclemency of the evening is credited with con- tributing to this decline. Many of those in attendance were lavishing praise of the calibre Of the meals provided. Sorry to report that Mr. Art Rowan has been under the weather al week with a bad back keeping him confined to barracks. A card from Waikiki, Ha- waii would appear to indicate that -our local gals Pam Stinson and Susan Fallis are enjoying basking in the near ninety degree weather of that island. The Yelverton Jr. Girls ball team members, their coaches and those who assisted the team as score keeper and umpires enjoyed a barbecue dinner at Lindsay on Monday evening to terminate the year's activities. This was a particularly happy event since it ended the six year period working towar ds the Jr. Trophy for this area which had up till this year eluded them. The girls presented their coach Mrs. Ray McCul- lough with a large Blue Mountain pottery vase and Mrs. Gloria McCullough with pierced pearl earrings. The girls each received a new silver dollar as a souvenir. The coaches deserve a lot of credit as well as the players for their success. It is hoped that the community will see fit to honour the three champion- ship teams with some special social event in recognition of the auspicious occasion.

All of the Bank's 1,200 branches throughout the coun- try will be making available folders and stickers outlining conversions from the existing Imperial system to the metric system. The Imperial system of weights and measures is being phased out of existence nearly everywhere, even in Britian where it originated. "As an institution that comes in contact with millions of people, we felt we could ma e an important contribu- tion to the long and difficult process of metri sion," said Bank of President Fred Mc Both the colorfu which introduce ti c conver- course timetables and other Montreal marketing materials that are Neil. available at Bank of Montreal il folders, branches. ,he Metric The metric system has Bug to illustrate the change-- over to metric, and the stickers, which can be applied to kitchen walls, cupboards, stoves, a car dashboard and the bathroom scales, will allow the user to convert weights and measures at a glance. The Bank has also produced a pocket-sized Metric Conver~ ter, a type of slide rule, for use by university students who are customers of the Bank. It will allow the student to make conversions to three decimal points in just seconds. Metric conversion tables will also appéar on some of the Bank's 1975 calendars, student Costs *10 More To Be Buried On Saturdays Newcastle Bylaw Enforce- ment Officer Horace Best approached the Newcastle Finance meeting on Monday like Yelverton will again duplicate this achievement.

Opinions were expressed by councillors that if the majority of people want sports on Sun ay, council should not interfere and the Lords' Day Act was not being contravened because hockey practices Sunday mornings didn't charge admission to the pub- lie, and after 1 p.m. it was legal under a town bylaw. Burial services on Saturday, Sunday and Statutory Holi- days will cost $35 in penalties as a deterrent. The present penalty is $25. already begun to creep into the Cana dian public con- sciousness. Some consumer products like toothpaste and certain pharmaceuticals are measured metrically. Most hospitals now use the Canadi- an metric standards. Starting April, 1975, the tem perature in weather reports will be given in degrees Celsius (formerly Centigrade). By September 1975, rain and snow reports will be given in metric units. Canada's grain industry has a conversion target date of August, 1977, and almost all road signs on main highways will indicate speed limits and distances in metric terms by the same time. Why go to all this trouble? Is wmanville, October 23, 1974 7 it worth it? The federal government and most business agree that it is. Ninety percent of the world's population lives in "metric countries.' So for a metric Canada, world trade will not lonly become simpler and more practical, but new markets will be opened for Canadian products. It has been calculated that the country loses as much as $200 million every year it delays the switch to metric. JOHN F. I Generai insurance FIRE and AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Contact.
