Some important revisions
have been made in the crop
insurance plana for corn,
spring grain and beans to allow
farmers to cover their in-
creasing costs of production.
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

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

said.

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

It's like a kind of
awakening. More and more
of us are getting into things.
Kids' baseball tourna-

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

At first it will co-
ordinate things already
under way. Like the Ontario

But then it will start

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.
