More drainage
Farmers who have been turned
down on their application for a tile
drainage loan because their
municipal council- was out of
funds may have a second chance
as the Ontario Government has
decided to put $3.8 million more
into tile drainage loans.

cabinet minister without
portfolio, made the announce-
ment last Wednesday evening at
the annual meeting of the Huron-
Middlesex Progressive-Conserva-
tive Association.
Mr. Henderson skid that the
government will allocate $16,8
million far the program instead of
the original $13 million dollars
which was set aside. However,
southwestern Ontario may not
money, P
benefit much from the increas\e as
the eastern townships of Ontario
will have priority over other
areas, since it needs drainage
more, according to Mr.
Henderson,
Mr. Henderson said that tile
drainage increases the amount of
workable land and saves energy.
"You ,do half the 'work and get
SO per cent more production."
Mr. Henderson also said the
government was being careful not
to give out too much money and
thereby drive up the cost of
drainage with demand outstrip-
ping the available equipment.
"We believe that the increased
funds will cover all tile drainage
that there is machines to put the
tile in the gound with."
