In 1971, Canadian processors
used over 30 million bushels
of grain corn. Most of it was
used in distilling, brewing,
breakfast cereal manufacturing,
and production of corn starch,
oil, sugar and cornmeal, and
various classes of grits.
John Schleihauf, field crop
specialists, Ontario Department
of Agriculture and Food, says
it is important to know the
quality requirements for the
processing market. Although
some processors may buy on
the basis of price alone, others
want clean corn, free of foreign
material and unpleasant odors.
In addition, they want a high
yield or quality of starch, kern-
els free from cracks and within
a certain size and shape. To
meet these requirements, he
advises Ontario grain corn grow-
ers to watch the following prod-
uction practices.
For a large kernel ; size,
corn population should not be
above 22, 000 plants per acre
and should be closer to 18, 000
plants in eastern Ontario.
Early hybrids should be chos-
en over a later maturing variety
This ensures enough time for
the kernels to develop complet-
ely. For the same reason, early
planting is desirable.
Harvesting should be delayed
until the grain is under 28rfo
moisture, Higher moisture lev-
els can result in a high percent-
age of broken kernels.
While crib -dried corn may be
preferred, most processors will
accept artificially -dried corn if
the drying temperature did not
exceed 140 degrees F. Drying
must be done at low temperat-
ures and cooling should be slow
to prevent stress cracks in the
grain.
Farmers are advised to check
their production practices be-
fore they investigate marketing
corn for the processing industry,
advises Mr. Schleihauf.

Snowmobiles proving popular
in expeditions to north country
Like the sailing ships of old,
snowmobiles are rapidly be-
coming the explorer's best
friend.
It was on April 19, 1968,
that Ralph Plaisted was able to
say that his expedition was the
first to reach the exact north
pole via the over -ice route
since 1909. And the first time
man had ever reached the
North Pole by snowmobile!
Since that historic date in
April of '68 the snowmobile
has proven itself time and
again as invaluable in man's
research and exploration of
the north.
The latest testimonial to the
value of the snowmobile in
northern studies was given by
Wally Herbert who was quoted
as saying, "The Ski- Doo snow-
mobile is a splendid and revol-
utionary vehicle. It is essential
for the success of my project. "
This explains why two spec-
ially -prepared Skandic snow-
mobiles from Ski -Doo were
listed among the Anna Johann
IV's cargo when it left Copen-
hagen recently on the Wally
Herbert expedition to Green-
land,
A well-known English explor-
er and author, Herbert has led
previous expeditions to the Ant-
arctic Peninsula, Lapland and
Spitsbergen, New Zealand
Antarctic and a trans -Arctic
journey of 3, 720 miles. His
polar achievements have earned
him three medals and he has
written for several magazines
and scientific journals.
Purpose of his latest expeditior
is to film, record and write
about Polar Eskimos, which he
describes as "a group of real
men" who live '70 miles north
of the U . S. Strategic Airbase
of Thule in North West Green-
land. With their help and by
living among them with his

wife and baby daughter as a
family unit and shooting most
of the film himself, Herbert
plans on making a real-life
record of the closing scenes of
a dying culture.
The film is a joint production
between the NBC and the BBC
and, according to Herbert, "it
will be seen by one hell of a lot
of people." His wife Marie has
been commissioned to write a
book on the expedition, which
will end in September of 1972.
The two Skandics which will
help the I-lerberts blaze new
trails along the desolate coast
of Greenland were strengthened
with the addition of special
kits similar to the modificat-
ions made on Plaisted's Olymp-
ique models in '68.
