The farmer would have the
choice as in the previous
schedule of a full and final
payment or payment for a
twenty-year period at a lower
rate, and a further payment at
the expiration of the period.
The schedule is payment only
for the right to occupy and use
the land. The farmer is still
entitled to claim additional sums
for various kinds of loss and
damage if such occurs. Such
items have never been included

Overall annual losses where
fertilier was applied for all
crops averaged 7,2 pounds of

period. Where no fertilizer was

pounds of nitrogen, 0.11 pounds
Of phosphorus and 0.53 pounds
of potassium.
The highest .nitrogen loss
recorded was 37 pounds per acre
in 1966. This loss occurred
mainly in July and August
during periods of excessive
rainfall which flooded. the soil.
Generally, however, most
nutrient, losses occurred in early
spring when melting snow and
rain produced a heavy prolonged
flow of water through the tile
drains, Dr. Aylesworth says.
Results of the Woodslee
experiments indicate that losses
of phosphorus and potassium
fertilizerS through drainage
water are not serious and that
these may be applied safely in
the fall for the next year's crops.
But losses of nitrogen can be
serious; the researcher warns. He
suggests that when this fertilizer
is required in large quantities —
such as for corn — it be applied
at planting or as a side dressing
after crop emergence.
Trying to solve
corn problems
Agriculturn Minister H.A. (Bud)
Olson said Friday that he had
spoken to United States
Secretary of Agriculture Orville
Freeman and that a team of
senior Canadian government
officials are meeting in
Washington with United States
representatives to tackle the
problems being experienced in
the Canadian corn market.
It was noted that Canadian
corn prices had fallen
significantly from last year and
that the marketing of corn was
currently seriously disrupted.
United States -officials
recognized the temporary,
though serious, problem in the
corn market and that United
States production was a factor in
the Canadian market. "It is
evident that United States
officials recognize and
understand the Canadian
problem" the Minister said.
It is important that
confidence in the market be
restored. As forecast in the
Minister's earlier statement, the
meeting focussed on ways and
means of achieving greater
stability in the Canadian corn
market.
While no immediate solution
was agreed upon, several possible
courses of action were discussed.
Officials agreed to urgently
consider these measures and to
resume discussions as quickly as
possible.
Grade B eggs may be used for
baking and other cooking pur-
poses.
Decision was reached last
week by the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture to approve
adjustments negotiated with
Ontario Hydro to the rates of
compensation for occupying
farmers' lands with power lines.
A schedule of minimum rates
for compensation has been in
effect since 1951 with periodic
adjustments. The latest revisions
were necessitated by increasing
values of amble land and
changing farm technology.
Negotiations between
representatives of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture and
the publicly-owned power
system have been in progress for
several months. Satisfaction was
expressed by officers of Ontario
Federation of Agriculture that
agreement had been reached and
it was believed that the new
schedule would bring
compensation more accurately
Bumper crop
is expected
Eastern Ontario corn growers
expect to harvest their largest
corn crop ever, if good harvest
weather prevails for the next few
weeks.
This optimistic estimate is
based on corn samples brought
by visitors to the Kemptville
College of Agricultural
Technology Harvest Showcase.
The average moisture of the
grain corn samples was 35.6% on
September 26. The advanced
maturity of the corn indicated
that harvest should be well
underway within the next two
weeks. The samples also
indicated excellent quality and
high yield.
The samples were brought to
the College by 57 growers, who
are growing 3,075 acres of grain
corn, and 1,128 acres of silage
corn. According to seed corn
sales in Eastern Ontario in 1968,
acreage in the area is up by 17%.
A new 100,000 bushel
storage elevator for wet cob
shelled corn was opened in
Winchester on September 30.
in line With current values.
As in the previous schedule,
compensation rates would vary
with the category of land
traversed. Payment for a tower
on the better arable land would
increase from $210.00 to
$315.00, whereas a single pole
on open arable land would
increase from $14.00 to $28.00.
Occupation rights on the
easement and other compensable
items such as anchors would
have comparable increases.
