Predict More Deer
In 1970 Hunt
After two very wet hunting
seasons across the main eastern
deer range, predictions are for
better weather during the hunt
( it just can't get worse!) and
slightly improved success in
1970 in most areas. Exceptions
are the Sudbury District main-
land, North Bay and northern
portions of Pembroke District
where deer remain at low levels,
Sault Ste, Marie calls for no
change over 1969. Parry Sound
staff call for slightly improved
success; they point out, however,
that low lying woodland is very
wet after summer rains.
Lindsay calls deer hunting
prospects as only fiar. Tweed
staff also are hesitant to call
for much better hunting. If more
reasonable hunting weather oc-
curs, however, we are predict-
ing higher success than in 1969,
Kemptville call for good success
in Lanark, Carleton and Gren-
ville Counties, poorer success
in the eastern counties.
Simcoe District will have a
good harvest in three day season
areas, if weather is good. Else-
where in southwestern Ontario
the season will be closed, al-
though deer are plentiful. Road
kills and damage to vehicles
probably will increase in the
coming year.
The Kenora and Fort Frances
Districts of northwestern Ontario
will provide the best deer hunt-
ing in the province. Kenora ex-
pects success to range between

A TOUGH GRIND
Do your standard trans-
mission gears grind on a cold
winter morning? The likely
cause is that your gear lubri-
cant is too heavy for the
temperature, especially when
starting out. Have your favo-
rite mechanic check the con-
dition.

Ontario Hydro Announces Rate
Increases For Rural Subscribers
An increase in rates for nearly
600, 000 rural customers was
announced October 1 by Ontario
Hydro. Effective on bills payable
January 1, 1971, the rate change
will raise revenue from Hydro's
rural llustomers by nine per cent.
It is the second general rate
increase in 17 years. The last
one was effective October, 1968.
Specific percentage rate increa-
ses to customers vary according
to service classification. Details
are being mailed directly to all
customers.
Hydro Chairman George Gath-
ercole said that the increase is
"regrettable, " but unavoidable.
Owing to inflationary pressures
and rising costs, our rural system
is now operating at a substantial
loss.
"Costs have been escalating
for equipment and supplies, sal-
aries and wages, and interest on
capital funds. Methods to control
air pollution have become an
Silage Gases
In Corn Silos
Is Dangerous
Silage gases may be preval-
ent again this year, during corn
silo filling time, and in the
haylage season. If heavy con-
centrations of these gases are
inhaled, the effect can be leth-
al.
Nitrogen silage gases are
heavier than air, have a sickly
sweet odor, and are colorless
or yellowish brown. If their
presence is not ed, says Mr.
Hal Wright, Farm Safety Spec-
ialist, Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food , the fol-
lowing precautions should be
taken,.
1. Before attempting to enter
the silo, always have another
person standing by in case of
difficulties.
2. Use oxygen or compressed
air equipment when climbing
to remove the doors to the level
of the silage. Alternatively,
climb the outside of the silo
and come down the inside to
remove the doors,
3. When the doors are re-
moved, run the blower for half
an hour to dispel the gases.
Stay well away from the bottom
of the chute.
4, If there is any exposure
to the gases, a doctor should
be consulted immediately, even
if no ill effects are felt.
It is most important to follow
these precautions, says Mr.
Wright, because the gases have
a choking effect and paralyze
the nervous system, and can
cause death or permanent phy-
sical damage.
increasingly significant budget
consideration. Heavy expenses
have been incurred for the instal-
lation of pollution abatement •
equipment and purchases of low-
sulphur fuel, " he said.
"The relative shortage of coal,
particularly that with low sulphur
content, has exerted a strong up-
ward thrust on 211 fossil fuel
prices during a time when the
Commission's fuel requirements
have been rising rapidly, "
During the last four years the
cost of coal has increased by
more than 21 percent in terms
of energy content. Actual fuel
costs have climbed from less
than $35 million to $86 million,
an increase of 148 percent in the
same period.
Interest costs have risen sharp-
ly. All new plants are being
financed at interest rates that

are nearly double those of a few
years ago. In 1966 Ontario Hydro;
interest bill was $65.5 million;
this year it is over $111 million,
up 70 percent. Property taxes,
operation and maintenance exp-
ense have also increased.
"The adjustment of rural rates,
Mr. Gathercole said, "has been
defferred until absolutely nec-
essary. It is designed to offset
current operating losses and
meet predictable cost advances.
The increase will barely meet
costs but should carry us into
1972.
"If Ontario Hydro is to maint-
ain its ability to meet the pow-
er needs of the province, an
increase in revenue from all
customers is unavoidable. "
