Valuing High
Moisture Corn
(This message brought to you
through the courtesy of Hensel!
District Co-operative)
Does there seem to be a cur-
tain of mystery or at least .a
shadow of puzzlement around
the manner in which your local
grain dealer calculates the value
of each load of fresh -picked wet
corn you deliver? Or, if you
store for sale later, do you won-
der how he calculates the dry-
ing and handling charges.
Many corn growers ask ques-
tions about this topic, and most
all the answers are contained
in detailed sets of tables each
dealer uses. These tables are
open to scrutiny, and have been.
carefully calculated 'by inde-
pendent experts as a guide to
the true value of high moisture
corn of any given moisture per-
centage.
A bushel of standard corn
weighs 56 pounds at a moisture
content of 15.5 per cent. This
is the basis of normal price quo-
tations. Since all corn at pick-
ing time contains more water
than this, the dealer, or the
farmer, either dries the corn to
this standard moisture content,
or else allows for the extra
weight of water when making
payment.
For example, a bushel of corn
at 28 per cent moisture must
have a full gallon of water re-
moved to bring it down to the
15.5 per cent moisture level.
Not only is that moisture .of no
value to the dealer. It costs,
a good deal to remove t.
This accounts for the shrink
that always appears on delivery
slips of corn sold at harvest
time. Almost all dealers in On-
tario use the standard corn con-
version table which has been
carefully worked out by re-
search scientists so that pay-
ment will be fair to both grower
and buyer at all levels of mois-
ture.
They have calculated in detail
how much dry matter and how
much water is in a corn sample
at every moisture level above
the standard 15.5 per cent. The
figures have been translated
into reading which show the
number of pounds of wet corn
needed to equal a standard dry
bushel.
The tables .also show a stand-
ard drying cost for drying at
each 'moisture level. This fig-
ure takes into account all the

drying costs including labor,
fuel, repairs, depreciation, in-
terest and handling charges.
These shrinkage figures and
drying cost are calculated for
bringing corn down to the
standard 15;5 per cent moisture
content. For safe, long term
shortage, many corn men pre-
fer to see the grain even a little
dryer than this.
To sumo up, the procedure a
dealer must follow goes some-
thing like this: When a load of
corn arrives he must sample it
and determine the moisture con-
tent, and calculate the number
of bushels of standard corn it
will turn out. He then notes
the drying cost per bushel for
that particular moisture level,
and deducts this from the quot-
ed price before calculating the
value of the load.

(Continued from last week)
Even though I had given my
notice to Wilbur that I was go-
ing to quit work it didn't mean
too much for x knew that he
would keep 'me on and also with
my buddy. My partner was
used to hard life and what all
when on the road, but for hint
to make up his mind to stay in
the haunted shanty`"–he could
not adjust himself to 'the noise
and tearing around in the little
log shanty. I tried to convince
him that there was nothing to
it for already I had been there
for six months and I was alive
and to tell the truth feeling
just fine.
I had made up my mind from
the beginning and as the time
passed on many times I fell
asleep with the noise. I had
laid off work that first morn-
ing to see what we would do
after his arrival. I knew we
would enjoy our work and six
dollars a month. Of course I
had a rambling foot, and I was
out to take everything that
was presented me whether it
was good or bad.
Before making our decision
as to our next move, whether to
stay for Wilbur or off for the
road, we talked almost half a
day and finally we made our
decision. First we thought of
going back to the western harv-
est fields, then move further
west, but apparently for our
own good it was better o stroll
along homeward for already we
had been a year away from our
loved ones.
For me it was hard to leave
the people of Indian River, a
village in all my travels I dear-
ly loved. The people were good
to give a helping hand to any-
one in need. I also loved the
Wilbur family, they did all they
could to help me, even giving
courage to remain in their
haunted shanty which was very
annoying at tines. Last but not
least, Annie Montgomery, the
housemaid for the Wilbur fam-
ily. She, too, was all that could
be expected from an acquaint-
ance of only a few months.
Before leaving my buddy and

I walked into the Wilbur home,
it also was the cook camp and
living quarters, all combined in
one. Mrs. Wilbur was deaf and
dumb, also her parents, but
their three daughters could
speak our language, also the
dumb language. In that way
we could express our regrets
for leaving. Even the maid
could speak the dumb language,
all of that was a help to me
and also my buddy with them
only a day. After all our good-
byes were passed an we left
the family. the hired maid and
also the haunted shanty. To
some extent it meant something
to me at times, even though I
felt I was brave and cared not
for anything. There was always
something which was out of
place.
