Mr. Heard says there is,
a ;potential market of 44
million, bushels annually
for corn used in breakfast
cereals, cornstarch, corn

recently corn sweeteners.,
Corn sweeteners are used ,
in the bakery, fruit

Careful handling is

down the line: Proper.
adjustments on the
picker or combine, and
gentle transportation ,
prevent damage to the
fragile kernels. Research
shows that dropping corn

10 percent damage, while
a 12 -m(40 -ft) drop caciss
only 2.5 percent damage.
Proper drying is
crucial to maintain
quality. Very high te-
mperatures,
te-
mperaturesalone can
hurt the kernels, butmost
frequently the damage is
caused by too rapid
cooling which causes
stress cracks. These
cracks can result in
broken kernels as the
corn moves, through the
rest of the handling
system.
"The • auger, is a
dangerous step in the
handling system," says
Mr. Heard. "Tests show
that running the auger
full, or nearly full, is the
safest for the kernels.
Running the auger one-
quarter full can result in
13 times more damage."

- At the same time, it has been stated by many
people that pork producers have a complacent
attitude to disease. This "we have to learn to live
with it" philosophy is not one that should be
commended or encouraged in the light of.
managerial practices that are known and
available to the industry.
Traditionally, in times of lower pork prices,
some producers are often more reluctant to
engage the services, of their veterinarian.
However, it is clearly evident that it makes great
economic sense to use the expertise of our
highly -qualified veterinarians in swine health
matters at all times.
On Thursday, February 14, a Swine Health.
Improvement Workshop for farrow to finish
operations will be held at the Londesboro Hall
from 10 a.m. until 3: 30 p.m. Registration fee of $7
will cover the cost of hot pork dinner and hall
rental. • ;
Dr. Peter Oliver and Dr. John Martin, Swine'
Diseases Consultants, Veterinary Services
Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, Guelph, will conduct the workshop session.
Subjects include the: disease process en-
vironmental influences, discussion of -common
diseases of - pigs and their prevention, disin-
fection and sanitation, principles of disease
control, , . immunity, proper use 'of.
chemotherapeutic._ agents, drug residues and
withdrawal period, feed, additives, internal and
external parasites, how to start feeder pigs, the
reproductive process and reproductive
problems, and a discussion period. •
It is important to contact Don Pullen by
February 11th so that firm plans may be
finalized for the noon meal.

FARM PHOTOS
BY RON FLEMING, AG. ENGINEER
What does your farm look like from the air?
There's an easy wayto find out that most people
don't know about. Every couple of years, aerial
photos are taken ofsections of the province.
These black and whit photos show a lot of detail
and are availabl . in seve?a-1 sizes and
enlargements.
What are the advantages of .having your own
air photo? The most popular use is simply the•
satisfaction of looking over your farm and seeing
things from a different viewpoint. Distances
between buildings and 'sizes' of fieldscan be
scaled off the prints. Recently -completed
drainage works show up fairly well making the
_photo a good record of tile locations. Some
farmers trace their fields on a plastic overlay
and keep records of cropping practices over the
years. rt_
° The good part about this story is the price...
40 -inch by 40 -inch print with a scale of 208 feet to
the inch costs just under $10. The same area in a
10 inch .by 10 -inch print costs about $2.50. This
covers an area of about 21/4 square miles.
Photos of Huron County were last- taken in
1978. These _are -available from the Ministry of
Natural Resources in Toronto.
Information on how to order is available at the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food in -Clinton and
