Stewart, Minister of Agriculture. The pro- gram outlined before the house Will give farmers up to $1,000 in interest free loans in order to buy seed and fertilizer for the 1966 crop year. Mr. Stewart's statement was: "Members of the house, par- ticularly those who are from rural ridings are aware of the difficulties many farmers are facing, owing to adverse weather conditions which prevailed in various sections of the province last year. Following representations that have been made to me as Minis- ter of Agriculture and through observations and discussions with affected farmers, and after thorough cabinet consideration, I wish to inform the house that a program of pratical assistance has been formulated. Interest free loans up to a maximum of $1,000 for the pur- 0/0 6 fertilizer because of crop losses due to adverse weather. Application forms requesting a than will be available on and after May 2 from the offices of the agricultural representatives or the chartered banks. The new loan policy will be administered on a province wide basis and will cover the purchase of all types of seeds tobacco and tomato plants and fertilizer. We have made repeesentations to the fed- eral government to participate in the program on a dollar for dollar basis. The policy applies to all crops planted before July 31, 1966, PAID ON GUARANTEED TRUST CERTIFICATES chase of seed and fertilizer will be made available to Ontario farmers who suffered a 25 per cent or more crop loss in 1965. The leaps, which will be of mat- aria] assistance to farmers who are in a difficult financial posi- tion due to crop loss in 1965, Will be made through chartered banks on an interest free basis. Applicable to all crops, the loans will be completely underwritten by the government which will pay the interest on the monies ad- vanced. In view of the fact that Many farmers have already purchased or have made arrangements to purchase their seed and fertili- zer, the loan will be made retro- active to January 1, of this year and will be interest free until March 31, 1967, In order to receive a loan from the bank, which will be guaranteed by the government, the farmer seeking assistance will be obliged to present a sworn affidavit declaring that the money obtained will be Used for the purchase of seed or • issued in amounts from $100 upwards for 3, 4 or 5 years. • earn the above indicated interest, payable half-yearly by cheque, • authorized investment for all Canadian Insurance Companies and trust funds.

J. Greene. This level is the same as for the 1965 crop and is about 105 percent of the base price or 10- year moving average. The support year for the 1966 crop covers the 12-month period beginning September 1, 1966, Mr. Greene said the announce- ment was being made now to as- sure growers of continued gov- ernment support. This would as- sist them in reaching decisions on contracts and planting for the coming season. However, he said, because the beginning of the support year was still about five months away, be- cause there have been great variations in world prices, and because there had been a change in the basis of international price reporting, the details of the method of support would be de- veloped and announced later by the Agricultural Stabilization Board.

Officers elected for the club's year of work were as follows: President, Larry Hern; vice- president, Bill Brock; secretary, Duncan Etherington; press re- porter, Duncan Etherington. It was decided that the meet- ings for the club would be held on the first Thursday of each month, at the Crediton Commun- ity Centre. The next meeting will be held on May 5, 1966 at 8;30 pm in Crediton. Club leaders for this year are Mr. Ken Baker and Mr. Don Weigand. It was also decided at this meeting that the name of the club would be changed to the South Huron Grain Corn Club seethe that there were equal number of members from the townships In the surrounding areas. Many problems with new method The future for corn production under a no-tillage system still seems promising, but at present there are still many problems to overcome. According to Dr. J. W. Ketch- eson, Department of SoilScience, Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph, poorer temperature and fertility rela- tionships may be the reasons for the lower yields on unplowed soil. 0, A, C. no-tillage soil plots yielded only sixty percent of that on plowed land in 1965. Where soil was not plowed and stover from previous crops was left on the surface, maximum soil temperatures at the one- and four-inch depths were five or more Fahrenheit degrees cooler than temperatures in plowed soil. It appeared also that yields on unplowed plots were reduced more where soil potas- sium was low. This situation is difficult to overcome without plowing or deep disking since broadcast fertilizer cannot be incorporated in the root zone, and there is a limit on the amount of fertilizer which can be banded near the seed without causing yield reductions, Temperature requirements can be achieved by adjustments in stover management and plant- ing techniques. Fertility require- ments can likewise be achieved by suitable fertilizer materials, young people in their United church in Bright taking the whole Sunday church service recently and doing a good job, capably and reverently.

Johnson, London, was signally honored on this occasion. For over 37 years, Mr. Johnson has been in the employ of the Canadian Department of Agri- culture and has been known to the Fruit Growers as their fruit- inspector. Clayton Laithwaite, Gocierich, read an appropriate address and Mr. William McGuire of Del- Mac Farms presented the gift. Don Middleton, Whitehall Farms, thanked the ladies of the Huronic Rebekahs for the deli- cious turkey dinner. All present report a lively interesting meet- ing. The annual banquet of the Hur- on County Fruit Growers' Asso- ciation was held recently in the IOOF Hall, Clinton with a good attendance. There were many special guests present including the wives of the fruit growers and Hugh Hill, Goderich, At the head table were: past president, Edward Wise and Mrs. Wise and Mr. and Mrs. James Shearer, Bright. Mr. Wise acted as chairman. During the banquet a sing-song was conducted by Bob Thompson, Forest, with Mrs. W. A. McGuire at the piano. The guest speaker was James Shearer, a former Agricultural Representative for Huron County, who took a great interest in the Fruit Growers' organization dur- ing his tenure of office, His sub- ject was "This Half Hour has Twenty-Two Years," Mr. Shearer spoke hopefully of a wonderful future for our glorious country of Canada, which he deeply loves. "We should stress the positive and not the scandals and delinquents and help Canada take her place of great- ness among the nations of the world, and be a fit place for our grandchildren."

The prob- lems may be less on beams and sandy thanes than in the finer- textured clay loam soils. When the proper techniques are known, the use of this system should do much to minimize erosion losses and production costs for this important crop in Ontario. Do you own a “Century Farm"? If so, you are eligible for special recognition during Canada's C en - tennial Year in 1967. This title applies to farms which will have been owned or incorporated by direct descend- ants of the same family for 100 years or more by January 1, 1967, and which are still lived on and in active operation. There are almost 5,000 Cent- ury Farms in this province and the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario is trying to locate each one to mark it with a "Century Farm" sign. Qualifying farmers may pur- chase this sign for one dollar, with the Association paying the balance of the cost, and delivery will be made during the fall of this year. However, applications to qualify as a Century Farm must be submitted to your County THE TIME IS HERE AGAIN TO Plant Evergreens We have a large selection of evergreen & shade trees also hydrangea trees.
