A few polite inquiries might prove helpful. * * Mrs, Alfred Hudie has retur- ned to town after Visiting her brother and family, Mr. and Mrs, George Wise of Severn Bridge, Ontario. * * * An Open House was held by the family of Mr. Norman Ball at his residence on Rattenbury Street on Saturday, September 28 in honour of his 90th birth- day. Attending this celebration were all his immediate family, grandchildren, great grand- children, a niece from London and a nephew from Peter- borough. Over 100 friends called during the day to pay honour to this grand old gen- tleman. Many cards and gifts were received, beautiful floral arrangements and a birthday cake were also sent by well wishers, The tea table was presided over by a neighbour, Mrs. Edwin Johns in the after- noon and by Mrs. Margaret Farquhar, a cousin, in the evening: On Sunday a family dinner was held in Mr. Ball's honour by his entire family at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Ball, Clinton, Members of the family were present from Guelph, Stratford, Mitchell, Lindsay, South Porcupine, Goderich and Clinton. On Wednesday evening Dr. and Mrs. Graham Bowker opened their home to a gathering of the neighbours in Mr. Ball's honour. A very pleasant evening was spent and Mr, Ball was presented with a gift. * * * Two Clinton ladies, Mrs. George Brown of Whitehead Street and Mrs. Tom Craig of Huron Street were recent win- ners of radios: in the:drativ ;held- kin conjunction with, the •open house of Reg McGee and Sons Limited, Goderich, * * * We cannot end our produce bragging for this year without mention of the oversize potato at present on our counter. However, this time, it was grown, by a member of the custodial staff of CHSS. * * * A group of former servicemen who were stationed at RCAF, or latterly known as CFB, Clin- ton, met last week with Joe Murphy, head of the entertain- ment committee for the Clinton Centennial. Those present, Spence Cummings, Jack Reid, Frank Pyke, Rene Brochu and Bob Gibb formulated plans for an RCAF Reunion to take place on the first weekend of the official centennial celebration, Tentatively,- there will be a TGIF night, a dance and a mammoth• parade with invited bands and our own cen- tennial band in attendance. Considering the •close ties which the Air Force always shared with the Town, this reunion should prove to be one of the highlights of 1975. * * * It isn't a case of "Brother can you spare a dime" but rather "Clintonians can you spare a penny" - so say the ladies of the Auxiliary to the Clinton Hospital, as they promote their annual penny sale, in the Clinton Town Hall this week. For the lucky, a penny can win anything from a toy to $50.

By Terry Dsynsrd, O.A.C. Contrary to common opinion in North America, the 'recent frosts are unlikely to have stop- ;ped the development of im- mature corn plants. Any tem- perature below 32 F will kill the leaves of corn, but significantly lower tem- peratures are required to kill the rest of the plant. Progressively lower tem- peratures (and lengths of ex- posure to these temperatures) are required to kill the upper stalk, lower stalk, and finally the ear of the plant. If only the leaves of the plant are frozen, the plants will continue to move sugars out of the stalk and into the grain for another 2 to 3 weeks. A similar phenomenon will occur if only the upper stalk is frozen as most sugars are stored in the lower stalk. Ear development can only be stopped completely if both the lower stalk and the ear are frozen. A check of several fields in the Guelph area this week has shown that the frosts of this week were severe enough to freeze leaves and upper stalk, but not the rest of the plant. Temperatures reached 25 - 26 F on both September 23 and 24 at Guelph and we would expect the following to happen to im- mature grain and silage corn over the next 2 to 3 weeks. Kernels in grain corn will continue to develop for much of this period using stored stalk sugars. I would expect many fields to put on another 10 to 4-H Club meets Clinton IV 4-H The third meeting of the Clinton IV 4-H club was held ,at Brenda Gibbings'on Septem- ber 23. Brenda Gibbings and Mrs. Klaver discussed how to enter- tain a guest and how to act if -you happen to be a guest. How to pack a suitcase was, demonstrated by Brenda Gib- bings.

Lodging may be severe. Resistance to stalk rot can be related to sugar levels in the lower stalk and, because of reduced sugar concentrations, stalk rot damage will be higher than normal. As a result, har- vesting should not be delayed unnecessarily. In general, we would expect a pattern similar to 1965 when the first frost came on August 30, Our plots put on an ad- ditional 20 - 90 bu/acre after the frost, but by mid-October we had over 95% lodging. Because of respiration losses, total plant dry matter yield in silage corn will drop steadily with time. A lot of water was lost from frozen leaves and up- per stalks during the day im- mediately after the frost and, because of husk-death, the rest of the plant will dry more rapidly than normal. With un- frozen plants, 65% whole-plant WITH ADRIAN VOS Marketing Boards are being so viciously attacked these days, that we'd better have a look at them. They are accused of driving up the price by limiting production. This is only the case in a few marketing boards and then it is done because the farmer has to protect himself from going bankrupt. Of the more than 20 marketing boards in Ontario, only four have production limiting powers (quotas). Tobacco limits acreage but sets price by auction. Broilers set quotas and negotiate price with processors. Egg quotas set price on a cost of production formula. Turkey, same as broilers. All other boards act as a selling agency and attempt to get the best price possible by bargaining with their customers in different ways. The pork board works on ',a feletype',;''System which works liliet' ieinike,, control auctio . 4the;ibeatfilikiard acts by sellin in the domestic and inter- moisture corresponds ap- proximately to 45% grain moisture; with frozen plants, I would expect the corresponding grain moisture content to be closer to 50% . This corresponds to a stage when. the kernels are dented and not juicy in the up- per (outer) part of the kernel, but are stilt quite juicy below. Silage should be harvested as early as possible to avoid ex- cessive respiration losses, but not so early as to cause seepage, The corn will dry down more quickly after the frost, but not instantly. On a dry matter basis, corn silage from immature frozen corn should be just as digestible and valuable for feeding as "normal" silage from more mature corn; provided the immature corn is ensiled at a moisture content below 70%, animal dry matter intake will be satisfactory. As a result, we would suggest that farmers with well-advanced corn, who had planned to ensile their crop, might consider filling their silos with im- mature corn from a neighbour and keeping their own crop for national markets through the dealers and brokers. Others by negotiating contracts for their members with processors. So you see folks, that you should beware of what most of the press has been guilty of and at- 'tack marketing boards as such, because they don't like the manner in which one board operates. The demand of some that consumers sit on marketing boards is as ridiculous as if they demanded to sit on union negotiating committees, for if Massey-Harris or International Harvester gives in to union demands, it soon filters down to the consumer in higher food costs. If they were to ask to be represented on the councils that oversee the marketing boards, there wouldn't be much opposition for ,they would soon see that farmers always have been asking less return for their efforts and investments than any other business man. , But to let an outsider q,negotiate,,price jor my jis,,ff „direct <iconflipt,,of interest and one "Will strongly oppose such a move. grain.
