C,N.I.B. ADDITION
ALMOST COMPLETE
Construction of the addition to
Tweedsmuir Hall, CNIB's resi-
dence and service centre for the
counties of Elgin, Huron, Middle-
sex and Perth, is expected to be
completed by early April. Blind .
workers are now being moved into
the new Occupational Workshop.
At the moment, 10 blind people
are employed. The new facilities
will produce space for an ad-
ditional 15. Most of the sightless,
persims employed in this shop
are in receipt of Blind Persons
MloWanee and require a form of
emPloyment which will enable
them to increase their monthly
',111c,orae. CNIB officials report that '

since the Shop first began, $43,000
has been earned by those em-
ployed in it.
A waiting list of six blind
men and women seeking resi-
dential care will cease to exist
when the 13 new bedrooms are
ready for occupancy. The new
addition and existing facilities
will provide accomodation for 51„
The $144,000. addition is being
financed by grants from cities
and counties in the four-county
area; a grant from the Provinc-
ial Government; aCcumulatefi
bequests and a limited appeal
to service clubs, business firms,
industries and private individuals.
E. F. Wheeler, CNIB, District
Field Secretary, .reports that to
date $14,625.00 has been received.
CHOPPED CORN STOVER
FOR LIVESTOCK BEDDING
It's not just high TDN,, it's bed-
ding potential that will make
corn acreage increase.
"Some farmers were worried
about the straw shortage for live-
stock bedding this last year", re-
Ports Dr. N. C. Stoskopf, Crop
SciOnce Department, Ontario
Agricultural College, University
of Guelph. "Actually, with new
farming methods, there's been an
increase in straw production How-
ever, even if there had been 'a real
straw shortage, straw isn't the
only bedding. Corn stover has
many advantages.
"The water-absorbing capacity
of shredded corn stover is equal
to and pernaps greater than that
of combined oat straw", Dr. Stos-
kopf relates. "Three bales of
chopped stover (approximately
35 pounds each) can do the job
of five bales ,of straw, mainly be-
cause cattle don't tramp and cut
the stalks into mulch so readily.
Ontario farmers using chopped
baled, corn stover have reaped
yields ranging from 1 to 3 5 tons
per acre, much higher than straw
Yields.
Corn stover can. be harvested
without buying special equip-
ment. Dr. Stoskopf notes that one
Ontario farmer adjusted his for-
age harvester so that the stalks,
passed through the rear of the
machine rather than through the
.blower. This operation chopped
the stalks in one-to-two-foot
lengths. The chopped stalks were
then raked into windrows and
bales. Baling not only reduces the
amount of space needed to store
stover bedding, but also increases
the cost. 'When bedding must be
moved by hand, as in stall barns,
baling expense might 'be justi.
fled, however.
To avoid baling, some farmers
use a flail-type forage harvest-
er. This machine's efficiency in
collecting stalks which have been
run down by harvesting machin-
ery is worth noting. The shred-
ding action makes stalks more
absorbent and easier to handle
when the manure is cleaned out.
Length of cut should he deter-
mined by bedding use. Stan-
chions or free stalls should have
a finer cut than loafing barns
that eon be bedded easily using
longer material.
Still another piece of equip-
ment can he used. - - the old
thresher. It not only shells the
corn, but conveniently blows the
shreddll corn stover into a pile.
The trend to earlier-maturing
hybrids is an aid to the storage
of stover since it allows earlier
grain picking and hence, harvest-
ing of the stalks. If the stalks are
wet, they should be stored out-
side the corn, but even wet
stover makes a fairly absorbent,
useful„ bedding material, accord.
