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 About People Mrs. Rita Butson, Staffa; Mr. and Mrs. Wes Parsons, Mitchell and Vernon Davidson, of Lon- don, were week -end visitors with Mr. and Mrs. William Davidson.

Apply to 80 Elizabeth Street, Ftensall. 41,b 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. 0 AUCTION SALE Of 1961 Plymouth Sedan, House- hold Effects, Antiques and Mis- cellaneous Items. on the premises 156 William Street, Exeter The undersigned auctioneer received instructions to sell by public auction on MONDAY, OCTOBER 14 at 1:30 p.m. Auto: 1961 black Plymouth sedan, low mileage, in A-1 condition.

Don't Miss This Outstanding Sale ! Auctioneer—LEO E. BIRD Clerk—LLOYD TANNER Terms: Cash—Cheques Accepted-5",Sales Tax in Effect others the loss of some loved ones. (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 HESS Jewellry Store Zurich Open For Business WATCH and CLOCK REPAIRS Bring your Watches and Clocks to us, and we will have them repaired by a Certified Watchmaker 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.
