The stabilization payments will be limited to 30,000 bushels per grower. Speaking at a meeting of. the Huron F of A in Brucefield last Thursday night, Hannam said the payments, representing 90 percent of the five year average price, will apply to 'corn sold between September 1, 1977 and Sep- tember 1, 1978. He said there was little chance any payments would be applied to the 1976 crop. The $2.30 orice may be further bolstered by a sup- plementary stabilization payment from the Ontario government. Under proposed legislation, Ontario would pay two thirds of the cost- of production when that cost exceeds the $2.30 figure. Mr. Hannam said estimates of production costs could go as high as $2.48 a bush,l, and if so, Ontario corn growers can expect the province,to add a further 11 or 12 cents per bushel to the federal stabilization payment. \, The payments will apply to both feed and high moisture corn,, Mr. Hannam said, but not to' silage corn. Farmers who sell all of their feed corn and then buy feed corn or prepared rations for cattle' will have the cost of the corn p - Different method of home heating Stephen township farmer Allan Walper is one of several residents in Western Ontario, taking advantage of the opportunity to provide at least some of his home's heating requirements with a solar heat installation. - Walper's glass collector, which was demonstrated at last Saturday's Huron County 'Plowing Match, is built ad,, jacent to his concession 22 home and provides the south wall of as'hed which he will use to house his car., The Stephen farmer said there . were' three reasons which prompted him to think about building a solar heating system. 'He told the Exeter Times - Advocate in an interview last winter, "r'irst, of all I read a lot about the system and talked to Carl Pepper at Granton who built one of the ,first in the area. Next I took into consideration the fact our present furnace had given up the ghost and I needed a shed for ,,.a. -.-car and storage pur- poses. He continued, "It's sur- prising how much heat the system provides. Right now we have a wood stove in the front room and an air; gonditioner for a bit of heat in the back part but the solar system provides a good portion of the heat we require." The glass collector is 40 feet by 20 feet and is placed at an angle of 10 degrees west of south and a slope of 59 degrees. The glass is five millimeters thick. Walper explained about the glass, "Ordinary window glass would be sufficient but we thought we would make it a little heavier to stand up in case of a hail storm. The water is stored in 3,500 gallon tanks' constructed by Russell Desjardine of.Grand they buy subtracted from their, sales when the stabilization payments are made, he said. At the moment, only corn sold to an elevator qualifies for .stabilization payments under federal regulations, Mr. .Hannam said. But the Ontario plan would have a broader scope, applying also to farm to farm corn sales. The provincial plan will put pressure on the federal government to broaden 'the basis of, its payments to in- clude farm to farm sales as well, Mr. Hannam said. He urged farmers to keep their receipts from sales to other farmers in case the federal government agreed to payments on such sales.

The deadline for ap- plications for the 1977-78 crop is October 20, 1977.. The premium is $3 per acre.

Walper was assisted in the carpentry work by Ernie Millen. Behind the glass is three and a half inches of insulation and then a covering of galvanized steel. On a sunny day, Walper says the water comes into the tanks at over 100 degrees. When the collector is nine degrees warmer than the et water in.the tank the pump begins to operate the system. As for cost of building the system Allan Walper said, "My, actual cost for . 'the heating system and the shed was about f 6,,000. The solar system alone `would be less Than half of that. Carl Pepper claims his cost about $1,200". Walper concluded, "T system will be of advanta� to me as long as the water is warmer than the outside temperature."
