Prot.ct costly crops Insurance deadlines near • What does it cost to produce a drop of grain corn? It's a ,question surprisingly few farm- ers can answer accurately. The farm economics branch of the Ontario Department` of Agriculture and Food has some interesting figures on this. Twenty- five top management farmers in a nine -county area of southwestern and central On- tario kept accurate records dur- ing 1967. This was considered an average year for production. The average yield on *eke 25 top farms was 111 b he' of grain com per acre, llhikr did it cost to produce? The w figure was $68.96 and the high- est $90.10 per acre. The aver- age amount was $78,52 per acre. Thus, under average conditions, a man growing 100 acres of grain corn has invested $7,8h520; 7, 852. What happens if this crop is wiped out or badly damaged before harvest? The fanner who has his farm and niachinerY clear and has paid his seed and fertilizer bill simply loses $'i. - Gowning an Spring planting will soon begin.

Howick prohibits firecrackers Reeve Harold Robinson pre- sided for last week's meeting of Howick Township Council. A by-law was passed prohibit- . ing .the use of firecrackers, air guns, pellet guns or firearms of any kind. Culross Township was auth- orized to do the •repair- work our the Culross-Howick Boundary. . The road superintendent was. instructed to advertise for weed spraying and for spraying the sides of the roads. He will also obtain prices for calcium chlor- ide.' The tender of G. A. Gibson and Sons was accepted for the 'McCallum Bridge at $375.00. The tender of the same firm for the construction of the McCal- lum Bridge at $30,292..00 was accepted. The resignation of John Win- ter from the Fordwich Hall Board was accepted and Austin Stinson was appointed to fill the vacancy. Road and general accounts were paid. AA 8 ..'flax's bad 011Cogh,. tont it's the farmer who .hull proms' With the fertili ed to sot y dealer, and make payments 011 his faun, tractor., con b e, planter, etc. , who . is .1m tea 1 ttouble. Suppose, for example, he is making payMents on a $6,000 rzactof and a $12;000 combine at an interest rate of 12110. If the dealer agrees to carry the fanner because of the bad year, the interest on these two items alone will amount to $2.2 50. ' The other possibility is that the machines will be re- claimed, with the fanner los' ing the money he has invested in them up to that point. The tractor and the combine are, of course, only two examples of . the many complications a farm- er with definite financial com- mitments has to meet in the event of a crop loss. Are there any other alterna- tives open to him? If he were to take advantage of insurance offered at subsidized rates through the Crop Insurance Commission of Ontario, he could protect his investment on the 100 acres of grain corn for approximately $ 3 5 0 ( this amount would vary somewhat depending upon the location). The bank would probably lend this additional amount at the minimum interest rate. The cost of this loan for the period of the crop year would be around $14. So for a cost of $14, the farmer either has a crop to pay off his commitments or he is covered by crop insurance. The example used here is grain cord but the same princi- ple applies for any crop. The deadlines for insuring the 1969 crop are fast approach- ing. Applications for insuring oats- and barley must be made by May 15, grain corn between May 21 and June 1, depending upon the area," white beans by June 25, and soybeans by June 20. Regardless of the deadline, applications must be made no ., later than 10 days after the crop is seeded. Farmers 'who do not know their local crop insurance agent should contact their lo- cal Ontario Department of Ag- riculture and Food office. Junior Farmers are hosting a Young .
