The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-05-22, Page 221' ]?'Kig I.A«-t.40DERIGH SIGNAL-Si'f',A;R; TilURSL?AY, MAY 22, 1975 enton farmers. erwoodownyrs 50% reliate...- ..;..-_.fax 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 aspects of bronzing - caused by - atmospheric pollutants - by, as • Lounge, dine, relax ... under the sun- or stars... in„handsome handsome sturdy ,lawn 'n' patio furnishings. — Chairs, Chaisettes in vinyl cord — Rockers — Loungeswithbfloral pads, various .colours -�' Umbrellas, Tables — Covers, Lawn Spikes 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. o Pro -Life group bus trip. t Parliament Hill, Ottawa With one million signatures supporting the legal rights of unborn children, ..canada's pro-life groups will launch a three - pronged attack on Parliament Hill demanding legislation to protect all prenatal life.
