However, with such a bountiful crop, there is a possibility that some corn could be left in the field, even after the silo is filled. D.11. Miles, farm manage- ment specialists, Ontario Dep- artment of Agriculture and Food, says a corn stack is an alternative ro leaving the crop for grain corn or having to dry, crib or acid treat it. This is especially true if the corn crop can be used to advantage in its roughage form, he says. Many people object to this type of storage because of the wastage as well as feeding diff- iculties with mechanized feed- ing systems. Waste can be a problem, says Mr. Miles, but if certain precautions are taken, it can be kept to a minimum. Such storage system will offset by a good margin the added costs of depreciation and inter- est on an investment in other types of silos. The handling problem can be alleviated. Many farmers with mechanical feeding systems feed out of their tower silos until early in the new year. Then when the weather is good, the silage is moved by blower, from the stack into the silo. This can be done in a short period of time and is a good alternative to shoving the feed from the stack to the livestock on a daily basis. Mr. Miles offers a few tips to ensure a good stack: To provide good drainage, place the stack on high ground. Keep the stack as deep as possible, rather than spread over a wide area. Pile the stack with a front- end loader rather than a blower, so that leaves do not separate from the rest of the corn. Cover the stack with plastic and weigh it down with old tires or other suitable material. One possible problem, says Mr. Miles, is the dryness of this year's crop. The lower the moisture content. of the corn, the harder it is to pack it suit- ably. For this reason, the farm- er should use his greenest corn for stacking. 0 Nancy: How's your typing coming along?

Little preference for students A survey conducted among Waterloo Lutheran University students regarding the upcom- ing election showed an almost even voter preference for the three parties. Among those students who said they intend ro vote Octob- er 21 and indicated knowledge of the candidates, 35 per cent said they would vote for the New Democratic Party. Close behind were the Prog- ressive Conservatives with 33 per cent and the Liberal. Party with 32 per cent. The survey was conducted by Profs. John Redekop and Conrad Winn of rhe political science department. They surveyed 1, 400 students on a random sample basis during registration two weeks ago. Many samplings use fewer replies in making political analysis. In studying the returns, the two professors said that although a strong majority of students indicated an intention to vote, a probing of their responses to a series of questions about local candidates and provincial lead- ers revealed disinterest in the election. "Consequently, my colleague and I believe that only a bare majority of students is likely to voce and even that assessment may be optimistic, " Prof. Rede- kop said. "Among those students who said they intend to vote and give evidence of interest, there is approximately an even prefer- ence for the three parties." When the results were broken down further into the newly enfranchized group of students, those 18 to 20 years old, a some- what different pattern resulted. The 18 to 20 year-old group showed a muck greater prefer- ence for the Conservatives, with 37 per cent opting for the govern• ment party, 32 per cent for the NDP and 31 per cent for rhe lib- erals. For those 21 and over, rl'e preferences were 38 per cent NDP, 33 per cern Liberal and 29 per cent Conservative. In interpreting the results, the WLU professors asked them- selves how the students would vote and agreed that widespread Huron member CFB Clinton (continued from page 1) haustive study made of the Clinton base, along with the minister of national defence, to ascertain whether it would be feasible to use a portion of it as an air traffic control school or some related activity," said Mr. Jamieson. "I regret to advise him that we concluded it was not a suitable site and we shall be looking elsewhere." It is understood the depart- ment wants something closer to a major urban or air traffic centre. Air traffic control is now being taught at Uplands Airport in Ottawa. HOTEL HENSALL 'THE NMAITLAND TRIO' Friday & Saturday, ct®15 16 apathy indicated in the responses made any predictions uncertain. "Among the large number of apathetic students --that is those who answered the questions in the survey but don't intend to vote --the Liberal Party was ind- icated strongly as the party of their choice, " Prof. Redekop said. Prof. Winn added that if the Liberal Party catches fire, more WLU' students would vote Liberal that either Conservative or NDP. "This situation is not likely to occur, however, because Ontario Liberals - students and non -students alike -- have historically been relatively apathetic in provincial elections A more likely outcome, he suggested, is a slight campus plurality for the NDP. He felt more students are likely to vote for the New Democrats because supporters of that party tend to be older and more int- erested in the election. Plant r uses now Roses, one of the most pop- ular garden flowers, can be planted in spring or fall. Canad- ian -grown roses are usually available for autumn planting in mid-October. Roses require a rich well- drined soil in a sunny location protected front the wind. To prepare the soil, add leaf mold or well -rotted manure. Peat moss, with a balanced fertilizer at the rate of 2 pounds per 100 square feet, will also improve the soil. Dig a hole large enough to permit the roots to spread out naturally. Firm the soil around the roots and add water. Mound extra soil around each plant to allow for settling, advise hort- iculturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. After mid-November, hill the plants and give them an extra cover of evergreen boughs for winter protection. Leave pruning until spring to avoid weakening plants. From their knowledge- of students at WLU both professors had expected to find a greater popularity for the Progressive Conservative Party'than was indicated, "We were somewhat surp- rised to find as much support for the New Democrats as the survey showed, " Prof, Redekop said. "It's strength among the older students was also some- what of a revelation." — 0 What's New At ''.ur';'• °'; vie The Christian Women's Club at South Huron provided a song service for the residents on Sunday evening.
