A few short weeks from. now spring planting will be completed in HURON County. Ws hard to find a farmer who ' is not optimistic about the outlook, for this year's crop. In fact, farmers are so confident 1969 will be a good year, many are investing several thousands of dol- lars In seed, fertilizer, chemicals and ' equipment. • Experience proves farmers have a right to be opti- ristic. On the average, over a 20 -year Period, farmers can ,expect to harvest a bumper crop three or four times and a fair .to average crop on most other years. Only about once ,or twice during a 20 -year period is there a crop failure due to 'natural hazards. The question arises, can the modern farmer, with his high investment costs, afford to lose his crop even once in 10 or 20 years? Some can, while others, can't., This is a question each farmer must answer for himself. In. HURON County this year, more farmers, agri- businessmen• and lending institutions are expressing in- terest in Crop Insuranceas the answer to . the danger of losing a crop due to bad weather, insects or plant dis- ease. In this area, the Crop Insurance Commission of Ontario has expanded both its services and the number of insurable craps in order to take care of the need for crop . protection. The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food, who is an enthusiastic promoter of Crop Insur- ance, urges farmers to look et Crop Insurance from .a business point of view. A good farmer should know what it will cost kiln 1;o grow a crop. He should then purchase enough insurance to cover this investment.. This amount of coverage is quite inexpensive and gives peace of mind in knowing that the investment is protected if the crop should be lost because of—natural hazards. The farmer who has definite financial commitments to meet at the end of the year is the man who can least afford to gamble on bad weather ruining his crops. While. Crop Insurance is available in many countries of the world, the program in Ontario is one of the most attnective anywhere. This is because the Federal Gov- ernment pays 50% of administrative costs and 25% of the premiums, while the Provincial Government pays _the SO% of the administrative costs plus S% of the premiums- Consequently,lthe Insured person pays only 70% of the claims costs, and none of the expenses of opera - Nett. In effect, the Government bears more than half of the total cost of the insurance program., FOR FURTH'S* INFORMATION CONTACT YOUR • • LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE: GE�RGE WATT BOX 299 BLYTH, ONTARIO Phone 5i3-9217 Report from Ontario got almost 90 per cent of the money lent by the federal government last year for public housing projects.

After considerable discussion on the subject the meeting agreed to send a resolution to the Committee of Conservation Chairmen to the effect that the three Authorities are of the op- inion that no. matter what oc- curs in regard to regional gov- ernment, authority boundaries should remain as they are at the present time, and continue to follow the outlines of the vari- ous watershed which they serve. The meeting also recognized that under -this system it is pos- sible for authorities to amalga- mate and still hold d to water- shed boundaries. The meeting also agreed to another motion which will re- - quest the provincial government to implement the recommenda- tions of a recent' Select Com- mittee on Conservation, in re- gard to having unorganized areas brought into conservation authority jurisdiction. --Mrs..
