According to spokesmen from The Crop Insurance Com- mission of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, reseeding benefits have been introduced, the indemnity for unseeded spring acreage has been increased, and higher price options are being offered for the 1975 program. A reseeding benefit of $15 per . acre is part of each of the general spring crop plans purchased in 1975. This in- demnity will be paid on insured crops whenever it is necessary, because of an insured peril such as too much rain, to reseed 3 acres or more. The payment will be made regardless of whether the farmer seeds back to - same crop or seeds to a different crop. The payment on unseeded acreage or "preplant coverage" was introduced in 1973, to provide some in- demnity to the farmer not able Country playhouse extends tour season The Huron Country Playhouse will have a longer season in 1975, and a new two - cast touring "program that will double the rehearsal time for each show. ' Managing director ,James • Murphy said there will be one cast for plays and another for musicals. The theatre 'will alternate between the two types of shows throughout a 10 -week season. Each show will run for four days in the Playhouse at Grand Bend and then will tour for five days the following week. While a play is on tour, a musical will be running at home, and vice versa. The season will open June 25 with a comedy, Barefoot In The Park, followed July 2 by a musical, 0! Coward! On July 9, drama takes over, in a production of The Glass Menagerie, and on July 16 it's back to music with You're a Good Man, Charley Brown. The Importance Of Being Earnest opens July 23, followed by Dames At Sea on July 30, The Owl And The Pussycat on If you get the feeli good thins are happening in Ontario Aug. 6 and Hello Dolly on Aug. The season will wind up with revivals of the summer's most popular play Aug. 20 and the most popular musical Aug. 27. The new system will allow two weeks of rehearsal for each show, Mr.' Murphy said. Previously,' the Playhouse has had only a single week to prepare each new production. The tours will take in Kin- cardine, Hanover, Owen Sound and at least two other locations still not definite, Mr. Murphy said. to get all his intended spring seeded acreage planted. $ benefit is now worth $9436 pet' acre depending on the '• production. level on the farm, compared with a $6424 range offered last year. Also, the 5* acre deductible on this benefit has been replaced with a 3 -acre minimum. Higher price options on corn; spring grain, and soybeans have been added to allow participating farmers to cover their rising input costs The top price option on corn is now $2.60 per bushel at a farmer premium of $4.40 per acre; with options at $1.95 per bushel for $3.30 per acre, and $1.30 per bushel for $2.20 per acre. On soybeans the highest price option for 1975 is $5 per bushel at a farmer's premium cost of $3.25 per acre. Soybean growers may choose to insure at $4 per bushel for $2.60 per acre or $3 per bushel for $1.95 per acre. Farmers growing oats, barley, spring wheat or mixed grain may insure under the spring grain plan for either 4c per pound at $3 per acre, 3c per pound for $2.25 per acre of 1 2c per pound for $1.50 per acrd, This year 3 price options are available for white beans and colored beans. Prices are 15c per pound at $6 per acre, llc per pound at $4.40 per acre, and 7c per pound at $2.80 per acre. Under the,. crop insurance plans, a farmer is guaranteed a certain level. of production depending on his yield and claim experience. If his actual production is less than his guaranteed production, crop insurance pays for the dif- ference at the price option chosen. The costs of the reseeding and preplant benefits are in- cluded in the farmer premium rates quoted. Tlie final date for renewals and new applications is May 1, 1975. Footings' are being poured this week for the new theatre that will replace the Playhouse tent. The theatre will rise just northeast of the tent site, and will connect the ticket office with the barn that serves as rehearsal area, scene shop, wardrobe, art gallery and lounge. The theatre will be open this summer, Mr. Murphy said, "not totally finished perhaps, but usable." It will seat 500, compared to the tent's Capacity of 362. wait 'til you see what the new lottery does for us. AMM, 11/4 miles south of GRAND.BEND traffic light on east side of Highway 21 It's like a kind of awakening. More and more of us are getting into things. Kids' baseball tourna- ments. The Hamilton Philharmonic. Jogging clubs, folk dancing, art clas- ses, Bonspiels. It's happen- ing all over the Province and it's only the beginning. Now, we've got a new "Ministry" to help. The Ministry of Culture and Recreation. Its job is simply to help each of us get more out of life. At first it will co- ordinate things already under way. Like the Ontario Summer Games, the Science Centre, the Ontario Her- itage Foundation. But then it will start helping new programs. And ONTARIO .__ LOTTERY CORPORATION. there are literally hundreds of opportunities. Travelling theatre groups. New hockey rinks. Support for women in the arts. New libraries, in places where they don't even exist. - Because part of the idea is to give all of us an equal chance to participate, wherever we live. How can we do it all? Well, there's the funds from the neve Ontario Lottery, starting just a few weeks from now. The Lottery is expected to provide many millions of dollars. And every dollar we then put into the various programs will be for just one reason. To help each of us get more out of life. So this is going to be one lottery where all of us win.
