Following of questions in the last week this, the awards for the regarding moisture levels for varius cubs ere reseted varlous types of high moisture by the donors to the wnnng corn. There are recommended members. This is one of the ranges of moisture content for highlights of the year for 4H both hi gth moisture shelled members as they find out the corn andfor high moisture ear corn Because-of weather conditions, and stage of ma- turity of the crop, it is sometimes necessary to har- vest and store high moisture corn, either wetter or drier than recommended. Fo)r example in 1974, much of thé high moisture corn was wetter than what was normally recommcnded for storage. This year, much of the 1975 corn crop is going to be harvestedf at relatively low moisture cobtent. The ques- tion then is, what is the lowest moisture content, which is safe to -store high moîsture corn in silos? The rccommcnded range for storing high moisture corn is as follows: High moisture shelled corn 25 - 32 per cent; High moisture ear corn 30 - 37 p er cent. The recommended imits are 25 - 35 per cent for high moisture shellcd corn and 25 - 40 per cent for high moisture car corn.

Oct. 16. It's not certain whether or not the driver of the '69 Oldsmobile owned by Gary Saunders -of R.R. 4, Bowmnanville,, was attempting to park in an already oçcupied space but in the process of making the above scelle, Winifred Erskine of R.R. 4, Bowmanville, struck the left front of the '71 Dodge in the foreground owned by Andrew Sutch of R. R. 3, Pontypool, and continued on to push the '73 GMC pickup of John Rundie, R.R. 1, Bowmanville, onto the sidewalk, taking out a 'no parking' sign and a meter. No one was injurèd. Constable Mackey investigated. Erskine was charged with careless driving.- Photo by Doug Taylor moisture corn will ferment and store well in any good silo witbin the recommended moisture ranges. The question then cornesUp, as has hapened in the county, as to whether or not corn can be ensiled below 25 per cent moisture? It is not generally recommended, bowever, corn can be ensiled as low as 20 per cent moisture if extreme care is used. Corn between 20 - 25 per cent moisture undergoes very iinited fermentation and will'have a final pH value between 5 - .5. This pH is well above the,4.2- 4.8 value ifor corn in the 25- 32 per cent range.1 Because of the limited fermentation la the low mnois- turc corn, yeasts and molds can grow on it very rapidly;ý if the corn is c xposed to air for extendcd periods of timç. Therefore , with corn ia 20 - ý per cent moisture range, it is critical to fili the silos. as rapidly as possible. ln oxygen limiting silos,' the hatches should be kept, closcd, exccpt when filling. In conventional silos, it is advisable to grind the corn beforc ensiling. The corn shouid be covercd witb a layer of plastic to minimize air exposure if the corn is not going to bc fcd immediatcly. The plastic should be hcld in place with one to thrcc inches per day of the dry corn from the conventional silos, again, to minimize air exposure and fecd spoilage. Only top mana- gers with high fceding rates should consider tryîng to ensilage corn below 25 per, cent moîsture. We would urge farmers who feel their corn is in the lowcr limits of moisture to keep an eye on their silos to sec if molds arc forming, or if spoilage is taking place. We do know a large number of farmers' arc grinding their corn into the silo, and this will help as it brings out more moisture, especially when you arc grinding high moisture car corn.* New Corn Hybrids an Excellent Investment Growers who arcn't serious- ly looking at the new hybrids recommended by Ontario Corn Committee arc throwing away an excellent opportunity to make money. It is pointed out that past experience has shown that the newer bybrids Pyield more, stand better and in the case of short season, hybrids arc carlier maturing than ever. Although some growers may hesitate at the higher prices of single cross and three-way cross hybrids, the most expensive hybrid is ialso the most economical because it will pay off in the long run in the Com of higber yields and better quality corn. On the average, a single cross hybrid is likely to yield about 10Oper cent more pcr acre than a double cross and about 5 per cent than a three-way cross. e In 1975 the Ontario Corn 1Committee testcd 335 différent hybrids according to their maturity rating. For example, hybrids that require a long growing season were tested in locations in southwcstern On- itario, whcreas those able to mature in arcas of rclatively short growing seasons werc itested in such locations as Elora, Kemptville and Otta- wa. The effectiveness of the testing procédure is démon- 1strated by the fa ct that the average yields have increased about 15 per cent in the hast ten ycars., The ncw hybrids are tested against check hybrids, and to be eligible for liccnsing a ncw hybrid must be equal or better in performance to the check hybrids of the closest maturi- ty. Rclativcly fcw hybrids are able to meet these standards, as about 85 per cent of the hyhrids tested are neyer licenscd and thus neyer reach the markctplacc for the grow- er. 1 Durham Junior Farmer Banquet This year, the Durham Junior Farmers wihl be hold- ing a banquet and dance on Saturday, November 22nd at the Solina Community Hall, starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets iforthis event are $5 a person and may be purcbased from, the President, Mrs. Mary Ann Found, R.

Lyall rcplied that it would he cheaper for thcm to hire a truck than ýto buy garbage bags at today's prices. With respect to the burning bylaw, Coun. Kirk, Entwisle advised that the people in the Newtonville area have a solution whcreby they simply ignore the bvlaw. Coun. Entwisle suggested, as Coun. Lyall's -original amcndment was for the wholc of Ncwcastle, that Bowman- ville be excluded, which brought a change in the motion for it to include only Ward 3. Coun. Ivan Hobbs noted problems that occurred in Bowmanville in the past with leaves being burned while others had their washing hung out to dry and Mayor Rickard added caution that it would meet with contradiction from the point of the Environmcntal Control Act.
