Up to 20,000`owners of private
woodlots in Ontario may
qualify for a tax rebate under a
• provincial program approved
by the Legislature.'
Natural resources Minister
Leo Bernier said that the
property owners would get a 50
percent • rebate on municipal
and school taxes, if their lands
are under proper forest
management.
"At current tax rates, the
rebate would average about
$100 per owner, or $2 million for
20,000 owners in the Province,"
Mr. Bernier said.
According. to the Minister,
the purpose of the Managed`
Forest Tax Reduction program
is to provide an incentive for
woodlot owners, to manage
their forests so as to obtain the
greatest possible yield of wood
and wood products from their
lands.
This Ontario program is said
to be the first of its kind in
North America.
"Proper management of
private woodlots under this
program would also provide
other benefits - a healthy
wildlife habitat, conservation
of water, recreational benefits,'
and a pleasing landscape," Mr.
Bernier said.
"Any resident of Ontario
owning forest land not assessed
as part of a farm will qualify."
The Natural Resources
Minister said that, the current .
yield . from_ ..the_seven .million...
acres of small private forest .
land holdings in Ontario was
estimated at approximately 100
million cubic feet of wood
annually. With proper
management, the yield was
expected to more than double.
Application forms for the tax
rebate will be mailed to about
70,000 forest landowners as
identified by the Ministry of
Revenue from current tax rolls.
Others who feel they may
qualify should contact the focal
Ministry of Natural Resources
Field Offices. (Contact the
Field Offices of the Ministry
after May 20.)
Mr. Bernier explained that
the tax rebate program is
retroactive to January 1, 1973 to
bring it in line with the Ontario
Government's farm . tax
reduction program which came
into force at that date. The
reason is that many woodlot
owners applied, for rebates
under the farming program at
'that time and did not qualify
although they were growing
tree crops on their lands. The
new program would take such
property owner's into account.
The Managed Forest Tax
Reduction program will be co-
ordinated by two Ontario
ministries. The Ministry of
Natural Resources will set the
forest . management criteria
and field audit, the program.
The Ministry of Treasury,
Economics and Inter-
governmental Affairs will'
administer the tax rebates, as
it does the Farm Tax Reduction
program in co-operation- with, -
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.

Diseased- beans
respond to nitrogen
Healthy crops of white beans
do not need nitrogen fertilizer.
However, when the producer
knows his crop may have to
overcome the stress of root rot
and -or bronzing, he should
broadcast up to 100 pounds of
• nitrogen per acre and disc it in
prior to planting.
• "Although the fertilizer does
not cure these diseases, it helps
the plants„,overcome , the ill
effects,”. explains Dr. C.S,,
Baldwin, Head of the Soils
Section at the Ridgetown
College of Agricultural
Technology. "During six years
of research at the college,
nitrogen has improved white
bean' yields by three to ten
bushels per acre where root rot
and -or bronzing were present."
Nitrogen can delay the killing

much as two week's. Since white
beans grow and mature
quicklx, those two weeks can
mean the difference between
crop failure and acceptable
yields.
To ensure that the nitrogen is
shallow enough in the {soil to
benefit the roots left by root rot,
avoid plowing it down; ,and
remember that where root rot
and -or bronzing are not
present, the application of
nitrogen is nod recommended
for this'crop.
