SINCLAIR Ontario Dept. of Agriculture and Food Ottawa Most farmers already know of the Capital Grant Programme available to Ontario farmers, but there has been some misunderstanding on the part of the public as to the connection between the Capital Grants and the Tile Drainage Act. The Capital Grant that is available on farm drainage, which includes tile drainage, is one-third of the total cost of the improvements, to a maximum of $1,000. There is no connection between this Capital Grant and the money available to a farmer from the Township in which he resides, under the Tile Drainage Act. The Tile Drainage Act is an implement for the farmer to borrow money in order to complete the tile drainage project. The amount he may borrow under the Tile Drainage Act is '75% of the total cost of the installation. One of the reasons for starting the Capital Grant Programme on drainage was that it was felt the initial 25% down payment, in order to borrow money under the Tile Drainage Act, was difficult for some farmers to obtain. Therefore, the Capital Grant Programme supplies this first 25%, but cannot exceed $1,000. For example, a farmer who spends $4,000 on tile drainage may apply to his local office of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food for a Capital Grant of $1,000 (one-third of $4,000 would exceed $1,000). This leaves the farmer $3,000 to pay. If he desires, he may borrow this amount from the Township under the Tile Drainage Act, which he will pay back over a period of 10 years. This Capital Grant may only be obtained once. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN This sturdy young fellow with the merry expression is Jerry, 19 months old. He needs to be adopted so he can grow up in the loving security of a permanent home. Jerry is a big boy with blue eyes, fair hair tinged with red and fair skin. He is in good health with no known hereditary diseases in his history. He's a happy child, though occasionally displaying some temper when frus- trated. A little shy with strangers, he doesn't take long to make friends. Jerry loves other children, but can amuse himself well when there is nobody to play with. He likes music, singing along with records and always ready to dance. This handsome little boy needs parents who will welcome him on his own merits and who are not demanding about background. To inquire about adopting Jerry please write to Today's Child, Depart- ment of Social and Family Service, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto 213. For general information about adop- tion ask your local Children's Aid Society.
