Carry an oxygen supply, if it is necessary to climb a silo and silo doors are open at silage level. It is impossible to predict whether silage gas will be created from any given silage. It is always wise to take ap- propriate precautions to avoid possible serious injury, whether the gas is actually observed or not, advises Mr. Brown. 4-H members to convene During the week of June 24-30 over 90 9-H members from all parts of Ontario will be par- ticipating in the Provincial 4-H Leadership Conference held at the University of Guelph.

"A danger in ensiling small grain crops, as with corn silages, is that the nitrates they contain can quickly form silage gas, resulting in partial paralysis or even death if exposure to this gas is extensive," warns Don Brown, public relations coor- dinator for the Farm Safety Association. Silage gas can begin to form a few hours after a crop has been stored in a silo. Being heavier than air, the gas tends to form concentrations on top of the silage. Scientifically known as nitrogen dioxide, the gas is normally yellowish-brown in its lethal phase and smells rather like laundry bleach. The most serious threat from silage gas occurs during the first 12 to 60 hours after the silo has been filled. A silo blower will not disperse the gas and should not be regarded as a safety measure. Although silage gas reaches its most potent levels a few hours after a crop has been ensiled, caution should be exercised for at least 10 days after a silo has been filled, says Mr, Brown. If exposed to silage gas a doctor should be contacted im- mediately even if there are no symptoms. The symptoms of exposure are a noticeable irritation of the nose and throat, and sneezing. No one should ever enter a silo alone. If you must go into the silo, be sure to have someone standing by in case of an accident. Signs should be posted on silo doors or in feed rooms warning others of possible dangers from silage gas.

Earl W. Neil A proposal for the modified school year plan for 1973-74 for the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth Counties was approved by the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at its meeting in Seaforth Monday. John Vintar, Superintendent of Education, presented the proposal to the board. It calls for six professional activity days for the teachers as follows: October 1, for the zone area; November 21, for the schools; April 30, for the county area; May 31, for the zone area; and June 27 and 28, for the schools. Mr. Vintar said the Separate School Board was caught in the middle between the Huron County Board of Education and the Perth County Board of Education. The Perth Board has approved nine professional ac- tivity days, and the Huron Board six. Because of shared busing of some students Mr. Vintar tried to work out a procedure but found it impossible to co-ordinate the program completely. The separate school teachers will have a training day on October 1 while the Huron County teachers will meet Easter Monday, otherwise the two programs are the same for the Huron-Perth Board and the Huron County Board. Following a meeting in Zurich on June 1 where a discussion was held on custodial problems which might arise from the Zurich Playground and Day Camp using St. Boniface School during August, the trustees indicated they did not expect any problems that could not be worked out by the. custodian and the ad- ministrative staff. It was reported that a defective fire alarm system at St. Joseph's School in Stratford is being corrected and made operational. Jack Lane, Business Administrator, reported that the $500 left in the incentive grant will be used now that the program has been extended from the May 31 deadline. The wet weather conditions was given as the reason for the extension. The board granted a request from the YMCA-YWCA of Stratford through Mrs. Mae Shortt of the World Service Committee for the 235-1922 235-1921 Attention Farmers PLAN TO ATTEND * See in action the stakhand system. exclusive one man hay operation, all new * Watch pulltype and selfpropelled windrowers cut and condition hay in fast curing windrows. * For the forage operator see the 2000-150 and 2000-100 in action. * Select the one for your power requirement.
