Forages and
Cow Health
In a recent experiment, 48
Holstein cows were divided
into three groups during the
dry period. Group I received
corn silage free choice.
Group II received hay crop
silage free choice and 20
pounds of corn silage. Group
III received grass hay free
choice and 20 pounds of corn
silage.
Seven cows (43.7 percent)
of displaced abomasums oc-
curred near calving (before
and after). All seven were in
the group fed corn silage as
the only forage. Other
disorders associated with
the displacements were re-
tained placentas, ketosis,
metritis, metabolic upsets
and uterine infections. Corn
silage fed cows also had
more cases of milk fever
than the other cows. Only 10
percent of the cows fed hay
free choice had ketosis,
while more than 50 percent
of the cows in the other
groups developed ketosis.

Choose Bin
Dimensions Carehilly
Do you consider operating
costs when deciding on the
size of a new bin?
Many farmers are in-
stalling full -floor aeration
systems in their bins. They
are finding it pays to be able
to aerate at higher rates and
remove moisture from
stored crops instead of just
condition the crop with low-
level aeration.
But how many people look
at the difference between
wide, short bins and tall
bins?
It takes less power to force
air through a shallow depth
of grain than a deep depth.
Let's look at some
numbers. A University of Il-
linois engineer, W. Peterson,
calculated the differences
between two 10,000 bushel
bins. One was 30 feet in
diameter and 171/2 feet deep.
The other had a diameter of
36 feet and a depth of 121/2
feet. To move 11/2 cubic feet
of air per minute per bushel
the deep bin needed a 20
horsepower fan. The shallow
bin needed a 13 horsepower
fan to move the same
amount of air. The total cost
of bin and fan worked out to
about three cents more per
bushel of capacity for the
shallow bin setup. However,
the energy cost to dry corn at
233 percent moisture was
about three cents less for the
shallow bin setup.
In other words, because of
energy savings, the extra in-
itial costs of the shallow bin
setup can be paid off in one
year. You may not intend to
dry 23 percent moisture
corn, but this example points
out the merits of at least
looking at the alternatives
when selecting a bin.

looms for Plowing Match
More than four years of
detailed planning reach their
culmination just weeks from
now with the official opening
of the 1983 International
Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show (IPM) in
Richmond, Ontario,
September 27. Some 150,000
people from all over Ontario,
Western Quebec, and the
United States are expected
to visit the site during the
five days of the 70th annual
match.
The 1983 event, which will
be the first held in Ottawa -
Carleton since the 1952
match held at the Carp Air-
port, will . be situated on 300
hectares of prime
agricultural land in the City
of Nepeon. Over 500 farm
related exhibits will appear
on the 40 -hectare tented city,
says Bev Rawn, IPM ex-
hibits co-ordinator.
The federal and provincial
governments and the region
of Ottawa -Carleton will also
have some interesting
displays.
The "tented city" also in-
cludes the management ser-
' vices groups: the securities,
banking and loan in-
stitutions. However, this
year technology and com-
munications will be playing
a very important role, since
there will be satellite com-
munications displays.
Agriculture Canada will
demonstrate the
agricultural applications of
remote sensing photography
and there will also be a
presentation of Telidon,
Canada's two-way videotex
television system.
Among the numerous daily
presentations, the Ministry
of Natural Resources and
the National Research Coun-
cil have joined up to show a
tree harvester in action.
There will also be
demonstrations of the latest
technology in areas as
diverse as farm machinery
and beef cattle growth im-
plants.
The Opening
Federal Minister of
Agriculture, Eugene
Whelan, is scheduled to give
the official opening address
at the site at 2 p.m. Tuesday,
September 27. His address
follows a mammoth parade
through the tented city,
beginning at 1:15 p.m.
At least 14 other MPs and
MPPs - among them Ontario
Minister of Agriculture and
Food, Dennis Timbrell - will
join Whelan in a plowing
competition. The MPs and
MPPs will be "carted off" to
the plowing grounds in a
wagon.
Throughout the week more
than 200 plowmen will com-
pete against each other for
over $35,000 in prize money.
In each plowing class points
will be compiled and
tabulated by judges. Awards
will be presented to the win-
ners in each of the categories
at a Friday night ceremony
at the Lansdowne Park Col-
iseum in Ottawa.
The Ontario winners earn
the right to compete in the
Canadian Plowing contest
which takes place this year
in Dundas, P.E.I. August 25-
27.

Ottawa -Carleton area since
the inception of the Plowing
Match in 1913, has required
considerable co-operation
between hundreds of people
involved in the planning of
this large, outdoor farm
show.
"Each one of these events
takes from four to five years
of planning", said Bob
McMahon, Secretary -
Manager, of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association, "in
fact, right now we are work-
ing on the 1987 show details."
McMahon serves as co-
ordinator of Agricultural
Manpower for the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food in addition to his IPM
management respon-
sibilities.
The Ontario Plowmen's
Association (OPA) and the
local committee are the of-
ficial sponsors of ,the event.
The OPA is a member of the
North American Farm Show
Council which represents 16
shows all over the continent.
The purpose of the council is
to improve the quality of
farm shows.
Getting to the
Site
The Plowing Match af-
fords an excellent opportuni-
ty for those living outside the
National Capital region to

scenic Ottawa, the Parlia-
ment Buildings, and the Cen-
tral Experimental Farm.
When coming to the Interna-
tional Plowing Match from
the south, take Highway 16
North from the 401 and
