TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN BRIGHT AND ENERGETIC "The thinker" is Norman, an engaging seven-year-old who, truth to tell, is not often seen in such a contemplative mood. Norman is "all boy" - Lively and on the go - loving rough games. As well as having normal energy, he is hyperactive and impulsive. This is because of very slight brain damage, not bepause he deliverately tries to misbehave. However, he is among the top 10 in his Grade two class, an open concept type where each child progresses at his own pace. His teacher says that he needs extra understanding and attention but he is not a behavior problem in class. Norman enjoys almost all sports, both ,as -a- player and spectator. He prefers the company of older children and often plays football with older boys in his foster home. Though he can't yet swim, he loves the water and is keen on camping and picnics. Norman is fond of animals of all sizes. A special interest is bugs, which he collects. He likes to build things. He enjoys music, especially singing, and loves to read aloud from the library books he regularly brings home. Scottish In descerft, Norman is a healthy youngster except for a tendency to bronchitis. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. His glasses are to correct a slightly crossed eye. Friendly, affectionate, inquisitive, talkative Norman needs warm, patient parents who are able to give him understanding, love, and attention combined with firm control. To inquire about adopting Norman, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption in- formation please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

Ernest Laird Mickle, Hensall passed away in South Hurotalos- pital, Exeter on December 4, 1972 in his 76th year. He was born in Ridgetown, son of the late. George T. and Margaret (Laird) Mickle, and came to Kippen in 1915 upon completion of his High School educatieje, where he was asso- ciated with his father and brother in the white bean and grain busi- ness in this area and Ridgetown. During World War I , He joined the Royal Flying Corps and was commissioned a Second Lieu- tenant. Later he returned to the busi- ness and the firm bought out the Donald Urquhart business in Hen- sall, where Mr. Mickle then set- tled and carried on a business in Hensall, Kippen and Bruce- field. A few years after his father's death in 1950, the firm in this area' was known as E.L. Mickle and Son.. Mr. Mickle was over fifty years in the grain and bean industry. fle was a member of the Hen- salt United Church and had served in many capacities, and has been an elder for many years. Before leaving Ridgetown, he was very interested in baseball and played on a senior team there and did the same here in the twenties. In the early thirties he managed and coached a team for several years and they won many honors for Hensall. Mr. Mickle was very interes- ted in War Service work and was • recommends the sealed wedge system and farmers who have tried it agree. In the west, where silage systems are gaining in popularity the Lethbridge, Alta., Research Station has a.project underway to demonstrate the best manage-' ment practices for horizontal silos under prairie weather conditions. High winds in southern Alber- tal reportedly require that any plastic cover be well weighted down. Neil McLaughlin, a forage systems engineer at the Leth- bridge station, is taking a close look at the labor and cost involved to, check the local economics of such a system. such Part of answerinytthe que§- tion (!if whether it pays to dOver.the horizontal silo under prairie con- ditions, he hopes to compare silage losses with and without plastic cover in the Lethbridge area where low precipitation may make a difference on uncovered silage losses. or 4 Ir 4 Ydur valuable documents— certificates, mortgages, deeds—all the papers you want to protect from any eyes and hands except your own—put them in your Victoria and Grey safety deposit box costing as little as five dollars a year.

VICTORIA and VG GREY TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 A new method of storing silage is beginning to catch on among Atlantic region farmers and it's spreading to the west. of the It's a sealedwedge in a hori- zontal silo, and if the idea isn't entirely new, the management innovations which make it a suc- cess are. "The idea came from Europe and we've proven it to our satifaction through the Atlan- tic Field Crops Committee," said Frank Calder, a forage crops specialsist at the Agriculture Canada Experimental Farm here. "The big feature added to the silo by modern chemistry is plastic sheeting to keep the silage sealed from the att. Most silage- making methods call for tight packing to prevent air from entering and causing overheating. "But our work at the experi- mental , farm confirmed that- covering the silo with overlapping sheets-!of plastic eliminates the need for packing. As the silage respires -- uses up its oxygen supply -- it packs itself and develops a tight seal with the plastic." A sheet of pletic, extending two to three feet along-the floor, is placed up the entire back wall of the silo with enough length to cover a large portion of silage. The same is done on the sides to overlapon the top. Cut' loads of grass can be blown or pushed directly against, the plastic covering the end wall to form a wedge shape. As soon as the last load for the day is in, the plastic sheet is pulled over the grass and tucked in to seal air from the silage which has already started to ferment. On,the second day, the plastic sheet is rolled back over the wall and filling started again. "There's no limit to the silage you can add, provided you keep the silo covered at the end of each day," said Mr. Calder.,,,, "EaCh day of loading simply ..makes the wedge deeper and long- eruntil the silo is filled." Most hoilzontal siloS are eight feet high but the actual size is not a critical factor, he said. The floor can be cement but again this is not a major concern. The important thing is to keep the silo covered and the plastic sealed, either by folding the edges or perhaps by weighting down with hay or straw bales or old rubber tires if the silo is liable to be exposed to wind. Besides the advantage of low spoilage, there's also no offen- sive odour in the silage, Mr. Calder said. The experimental farm here Suggest farmers keep plastic covers on silos
