paper flow required tor the federal
and provincial programs.
Let's first review what the pro-
grams are and what has occurred to
date.
The federal program provides sup-
port up to 90 percent of the previous
five crop year averages adjusted for
changes in cash costs of production.
Producers are not required to enroll
in the federal program to qualify for
any payouts.
The provincial crop income
stablization program provides sup-
port on top of the federal program.
The same calculations are used in
calculating the provincial support
price as the federal support price, ex-
cept the support level in now 95 per-
cent. Thus the provincial program
provides an additjonal5 percent sup-
port price. Producers must enroll in
the provincial program by October 1st
each year to qualify for any payout.
Thus in 1986, all crops grown and
harvested this year must have been
enrolled by October 1st. Winter wheat
planted this fall, would not be enroll -
Maybe Izak Walton penned his lit-
tle message about good health after
a bout with gout but it is as true to-
ddy as it was in 1653: Look to your
health: and if your have it, praise
God. and value it next toa good cons-
cience, for health is the second bless-
ing that we mortals are capable of:
a blessing that money cannot buy.
I have just returned from a few
days in hospital. I won't bore you with
my problem but 1 want to attest that
Canada's and (Ontario's hospital plan
is certainly working well. I have
nothing but praise for the doctors and
nurses at the hospital in Kitchener.
But. oh dear, friends. they would be
difficult places for me to work in.
Next time you drive past your local
hospital. say a prayer for all, who
work or rest therein.

under great emotional strain. Two
burly policemen also offer sympathy.
A crying child and his distraught

On the sixth floor my pains pale in
the room where three other men greet
me. An elderly man across from me
has lost a third of his right foot to a
gangrene infection. It isn't until later
I learn he already has an artifical left
leg from the knee down.
"It all started this time," he tells
me later in a thick European accent,
"when I cut a toenail too close and it
bled..."
I also learn later -- I have been
needled to ease my discomfort -- that
the handsome young man in the bed
beside me has slashed the index
finger of his left hand to the bone on
the production line of a meat -packing
plant. The tendon is severed and, in
spite of all efforts to prevent it, blood
poisoning has complicated the injury.
Across from him is another, much
older man in great distress. I (earn
later from his attentive wife that he
had a colostomy two years ago but is
now having kidney problems. Nobody
says it out lona but the unspoken
"end -is -near" look is obvious.
The next day he is moved from our
area and another young man is mov-
ed in. Nothing wrong with him now.
He is being prepared for hernia
surgery the next morning. He is a
breath of fresh air in the room. He's
sturdy, athletic -looking, blond and full
of vitality. His parents and his girl
friend come to see him and they are
all friendly and full of grins.
But the next morning, after his
surgery, he has the whole ward in

ly to focus. Then sagely nods his head
and declares that it is too much work
to focus both eyes at once. He asks for
a kidney tray, looks at it, tries to set
it on the bedside stand and misses the
table.
"He's still.got a little buzz on". says
the nurse as she sternly tells him to
not to try sit-ups for a few days yet.
He falls to sleep and is much more ra-
tional four hours later.
He decides the nurse is right and
tries no more sit-ups.

If I had one recommendation to the

Nurses, surely, should be allowed
some responsibility. It seems bar-
baric to me that a patient should be

wait until the nurse gets the doctor
from the golf course to change the

Otherwise, our health care system,

ed until the Ocotber 1, 1967 deadline.
The crop year for corn, soybeans,
white beans is September 1st to
August 31st of the next year. For ex-
ample, only corn sold between
September 1,1986 and August 31, 1967
will qualify for any payout under the
1986 program. The full amount of any
payout under the 1986 program will
not be know until after September 1st
of next year. In most cases, an-
nouncements for the final stablization
payment is not made until late
November.
Last May, both the provincial and
federal governments announced a
partial income stablization payment
on corn and soybeans. The payout
was for corn and soybeans sold bet-
ween September 1,1985 and March 31,
1986. For corn the payments were
$5.00 per tonne (federal) plus $3.00 per
tonne provincial. On soybeans, the
payouts were $9.00 per tonne federal
and 59.00 per tonne provincial.
Both the Ontario and Fedearl
government used each individual's
marketing records kept by the On-
tario Soybean Growers' Marketing
Board and Ontario Corn Producers.
Both of these organizations recieved
their information from the checkoffs
submitted by licensed producers who
sold to licensed elevators.
Although the interim payment on-
ly made on sales through a licensed
dealer, other sales qualify for any
payouts. All sales made at arm's
length and sold to an end-user
qualifies. Thus a sale made to a non -
licensed elevator would qualify.
Likewise farmer to farmer sales,
where the purchasing farmer is
feeding the corn or soybeans also
qualifies. Futhermore, a sale between
dad and son or daughter qualifies if
they both have their own separate
farms. However, producers must
have proof of sale in order to receive
stablizationpayments.
Corn producers should obtain sales
slips showing the buyer, the date, the
weight of corn, mositure and
signature of the buyer. Producers
selling to a farmer should also have
a note from the buyer (even written
on the sales slip) saying he is a end-
user of corn. •
The same information is needed for
soybean sales except that an official
grade must also be shown on the sales
receipt: Soybeans grading in Classes
1 to 5 all qualify for payment.

Watch silo fires
In normal harvest seasons there is
little danger of silo fires with corn
silage. However, many silos will be
filled with corn that is drier than the
usual 60 per cent plus moisture con-
tent. As the moisture content is reduc-
ed it becomes increasingly difficult to
get good compaction in the silo and
thus reduce the amount of oxygen in
The Federal and Provincial
Governments with the assistance of
the corn and soybean marketing
agencies are calculating the final pay-
ment to be made on the 1985 crop.
Producers who received the interim
payment will have it deducted from
their final payment. Producers who
sold corn or soybeans to a licensed
elevator will redeye any final federal
payment directly, based on sales
records submitted by the Corn Pro-
ducers or Soybean Board.
Application forms for the federal
stablization program will also be sent
to producers, in order that they may
apply for sales other than those made
to a licensed elevator. Applicaiton
forms will be mailed to producerse in
late November.
No decision on procedure has been
made for final payment method from
the Ontario Government, but it is ex-
pected that applications will be sent
to producers in late November.

the silage mass.
The presence of oxygen allows the
plant material respiration process to
continue which produces heat. Unless
the oxygen supply is limited,
temperatures can increase causing
loss of feed value, mold and yeast pro-
duction and possibly by way of spon-
taneous combustion - fire.
Given the potential danger that ex-
ists because of our weather conditions
this year farmers making silage are
advised to ensure that silo drains and
doors are well sealed, harvesters
have sharp blades adjusted for short
cut, silage is evenly distributed in the
silo, compaction in the silo is as good
as possible and finally perhaps a top
seal of plastic be added to further
minimize oxygen entry during the en
siling process.
Following these steps should
minimize further loss in feed value
and prevent damage to both the feed
and silo caused by a fire.
