They can attend short courses at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. Fifteen agricultural short courses will be offered at the college in early 1979, says Doug Jamieson, short course coordinator. All but three are one day long. "We hope that a farmer might learn enough in the one day to pay for his day away from the farm, the cost of the course, and even his gas." The short courses, scheduled from January until April, cost $4.00 per day. They are aimed at profes- sional farmers, farm em- ployees,• and novice farm- ers. Instructors will come from agricultural colleges, government, and farm-re- lated industries. Courses will cover four main subject areas-livestock, ,farm management, engine- ering, and soils and crops. Seven of the 15 courses are new, says Mr. Jamieson. New topics include white beans, seed production, transferring farm assets, basicd pork production, and alternative energy sources for farms. Sortie of last year's of- ferings will be back again- farm income tax, sow herd management, beef feedlot management, and cutting farm energy costs. To register, farmers should contact county offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, or Mr. D. Jamie- son at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Huron Park, Ontario NOM 1YO. His telephone number is (519) 228-6691. "Last year, 463 people attended our short courses; more than half had not taken a course previously at Central ia. We expect about 550 this year. "People from as far away as Peterborough have at- tended, so we draw from the , whole farming population of southern Ontario." The Employment Tax Credit Program was introduced by the Govern- ment of Canada to stim- ulate employment in the private sector. In essence, we're encour- aging you to expand your work force by providing a tax break for your business. The potential annual tax credit for each new em7 ployee is over $3,000. And there is no limit to the number of new employees you can hire. Now, by using the expe- rience we've gained so far, we've changed the program to make it even more attractive. Up to 33 fro more tax credit. The maximum term for the tax credit has been increased from nine to 12 months for each new employee.That means up to 331/2 % more tax credit. Greater eligibility. We have expanded the number and types of busi- nesses eligible to benefit. Now almost every business that's been operating in Canada for a year or more join •. • can in. Wider choice of new employees. Now, almost anyone who's unemployed and regis- tered at a Canada Employ- ment Centre for a minimum of two weeks is eligible. A minimum of red tape. We've simplified the procedure, so you can do the whole thing, from begin- ning to end, with just two single-page forms. For full details on the program, contact any Canada Employment Centre/ Canada Manpower Centre.
