Miles says
stack corn
As harvest progresses,
Ontario's corn crop appears
excellent. However, with such a
bountiful crop, there is a
possibility that some corn could
be left in the field, even after the
silo is filled.
Mr. D. H. Miles, farm
management specialist, Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, says a corn stack is an
alternative to leaving the crop for
grain corn or having to dry, crib
or acid treat it. This is especially
true if the corn crop can be used
to advantage in its roughage
form, he says.
Many people object to this type
of storage because of the wastage
as well as feeding difficulties
with mechanized feeding
systems. Waste can be a
problem, says Mr. Miles, but if
certain precautions are taken, it
can be kept to a minimum. Such a
storage system will offset by a
good margin the added costs of
depreciation and interest on an
investment in other types of silos.
The handling problem can be
alleviated. Many farmers with
mechanical feeding systems feed
out of their tower silos until early
in the new year. Then, when the
weather is good, the silage is
moved by blower, from the stack
into the silo. This can be done in a
short period of time and is a good
alternative to moving the feed
from the stack to the livestock on
a daily basis.
Mr. Miles, former Huron
County Ag rep. offers a few tips to
ensure a good stack:
To provide good drainage,
place the stack on high ground.
Keep the stack as' deep as
possible, rather than spread over
a wide area.
Pile the stack with a front-end
loader rather than a blower, so
that leaves do not separate
from the rest of the corn.
Cover the stack with plastic
and weigh it down with old tires
or other suitable material.
One possible problem, says
Mr. Miles, is the dryness of this
year's crop. Th'e lower the
moisture content of the corn, the
harder it is to pack it suitably.
For this reason, the farmer
should use his greenest corn for
stacking.

Among reports received by the
board was one showing that the
Middlesex County ratepayer's
share of education costs had
actually decreased in recent
years. From an increase of 34.6
percent in 1968, it. fell 9.3. percent
in 1969, 1.9 percent in 1970, and
this year there has been a
decrease of .3 percent of last
year's costs to the taxpayer.

with 16,000 square feet of space
will be built for occupancy in
June 1972 on 2.7 acres of land in a
development north of Hyde Park
et Highway 22. The project is
subject to approval of final plans
by the board.
A Five-Year forecast of student
enrolment and construction
requirements was received and
approved for submission to the
Department of Education. It
indicates that the number of
students in elementary schools
will continue to decline from the

secondary students will increase
from 4,936 to 5,802.

The Middlesex County Board of
education has decided to proceed
immediately with rebrieking the
exterior of Medway High School
at Arva.
In recent years, the brickwork
has seriously deteriorated
through alternately absorbing
water and freezing. This has
paused the outer surface of the
walls to break down and to
permit water to reach the inner
walls of the building.
At its regular meeting this
week, the board authorized that a
contract for the work be drawn
up with Harrison-Martyn Con-
struction Limited of London.
Estimated cost if approximately
$81,000 and it is expected that
between a' third and a half of the
work will be done this year, with
completion in 1972.
The board also decided to enter
into an agreement with Sifton
