Mos( farmers are aware of the react that their workers are covered under the Ontario Workmen's Compensation Act. As a matter of interest, they have been obliged to cover their workers since 1966. However, some of the details of coverage tear repeating for those farm operators who don't fully un- derstand the whole picture. The assessment rate`for'farnr workers is divided into ,two categories: one covers the operation of chicken and turkey farms, mushroom, tobacco, nur- Derv, market gardens and florist 'farnis. That assiessrnent rate is $1.5o per $100 payroll. The second is $:3.:35 per, $100 and - coo ers Christ eras tree, dairy, stock, hog and general farms, and those operators performing custom cash crop operations.

For further information about this, an operator should contact the'l'oronto Head Office of The Workmen's Compensation Board at .9() Harbour Street. Any person who is paid a stated wage and works under control and supervision is automatically covered and is eligible for benefits under the Act. • The employer roust record the employee's name and wages in his payroll records.
