Program will benefit prop
'Tine Minister of Agriculture and Food,
Jack Riddell, has announced changes to the
Income Stabilization Program for crops
that will benefit producers.
Producers will now have until Oct. 11 to
enroll in the program. Cheques for enrol-
ment fees may now be post-dated for Nov.
30.
The program runs for 1985, 1986, and 1987.
Producers must enroll at the start of the
program and remain in it all three years or
face a penalty. Ther 'is no penalty for those
starting into production and those retiring
during the course of the program.
A producer enrolls new for crops grown in
1985. Each year thereafter (1986, 1987) a
new form will be sent to producers, to enroll
crops grown that year. The fees paid for
each crop will be deposited in an account for
the producer and will earn current savings
rate interest.
HOW STABILIZATION
PAYMENTS ARE CALCULATED
How is an income stabilization (Ontario)
payout determined.. Let's use the corn crop
as an example. The 1984 stabilization price
for corn is determined from the past five
year average weighted corn price and ad-
justed for changes in cash costs of produc-
tions as shown below.

90% of Average 120.56
The 1984 corn price will be the average
weighted price for corn sold in the period
Sept. 1, 1984 until Aug. 31, 1985. Thus we
have to wait one year after the crop was
harvested before we know whether or not
there will be a payout.
The stabilization price for Ontario is 95
per cent of the five year average plus the
O. 117'1 !N'1 1'Il,EtE OR
amount by whic:the04 costs exceed the
average costs (7e69) shown above. The
costs In 1984 should'' peed the average
costs. In fact they Aughte- ,wore.
Let's guestimate that the 1984 costs will be
$69.1Q. The $89.10 which exceeds the five
year average by close to $14.41 would be ad-
ded on to the $127.25 and the 'stabilization
price would be $141.66. ,
.There would be_a payout if the average
price for corn sold from Sept., 1, 1984 to Aug.
31, 1985 was 'less than $141.66. It would be
restricted to $6.69fper tonne since Ontario is
limited to a five per cent stabilization pay-
ment. The federal government has stabiliza-
tion responsibilities once the :average
weighted price•'fafls below 90 per cent of the
five year average.
What about the 1985 crop? The.1979 figures
will be replaced in the formula with. the 1984
figures. The five year average will tend to
increase, because w -e are replacing a low
figure with a higher one. The average costs
could increase again, for the same reason.
You can work through the formula making
these changes and arrive at an estimated
price for 1985. However, it certainly appears
there is a good chance for a payout on 1985
• corn.
You must enroll to be eligible. You really
can't go wrong because the payouts are
.composed of $1 that you paid into the •plan
and $2 contributed by the government: •

weed control program, '
Twitehgrass a nd bindweed are two peren-
nial weeds that are nearing their susceptible
stage, :.
Bindweed control is:best when the weed is
flowering. • In undisturbed cereal stubble, it
is nearillg.this stage. Control treatments are
Kilmore at .7L•per acre or Banvel at 1.2L
per acre. Both these products need to be ap-
plied about two weeks prior to a kiting frost, •
and tillage should be delayed following
treatment.
Twitchgrass, is really enjoying this wet
weather. It • will get a good head start on
your 1986 crop if•'it"isn't controlled now.
For the Roundup treatment, the twit-
WEDINIESPAY, OMORS82, 19115-- age5
wet weath
chgra .s should be actively growing and six
to eight. inebes high• For .the low rats. of
Roundup (1L per acre), you should use five
to ten gallons of water per acre with flat fan
nozzles; Konsanto research indicates no ad=
vantage to additives at this low application
rate. If more water is applied (20-30 galloons
per acre), then a non-ionic surfactant should
be used to obtain similar control at the same
Roundup rate.
Of course the other route to control twit-
chgrass is to follow the correct atrazine
recipe. This means a minimum rate of one
kg. per acre actual atrazine this fall, and a
foliowup treatment of one kg. per acre
atrazine plus corn oil nextysununer to the
growing twitch. This will lock you into corn
for the next two years: But it will also assure
you of twitchgrass control for at .least two •
years.
So while the ground remains too wet to till,
or spread plowdown fertilizer, you may still
have a chance to prere for your 1986 crop.;
through fall treatment of perennial weeds.
Club meets at local chalet
The SS4 Community Club met at the
Feagan Chalet on the bank of the Maitland
River for the September meeting. It was a
beautiful fall evening and everyone enjoyed
the splendid view.
President Marilyn Forbes took charge of
the meeting. Verna Lobb, secretary, read
the minutes of the July meeting and
Marlene Forbes, treasurer, gave the finan-
cial report.

Roll Call was answered with "My Fall.
Project" by eight members and two
visitors. The members decided to donate a
serving cart and two tea pots to the
Goderich Township Community Centre out
of the profit from the selling of the Township
T-Sbirts and the wall hanging.
Linda Jones• will have the October
meeting at her home but it will not be held
on the regular date because of the barbecue
at Ontario Street Church. The club will meet
on Thursday, October 3 in the afternoon
when members will be quilting.
The evening was spent showing photos of
't he Goderich Township 1-5-0 events.
Wait to plow
red clover
Red clover has earned its place as a very
important and useful plow -down crop on
cash crop farms. It fits well into rotations
because it helps reduce soil erosion, breaks
insect -disease cycles, and, when plowed,
adds nitrogen and organic matter to the soil.
To receive the biggest benefit from•plow-
ing down a red clover stand, plowing should
be delayed as late in the fall as. possible. In
research studies, red clover root growth in-
creases several. fold during the fall of the
seeding year. It is estimated that the yield of
' roots increases between four and six times
during the ,period Sept. 1 and Oct. 15.
Ln most areas, we should be waiting' until. •
Oct. 15, or a killing frost before plowing
down a red clover stand.
Building
with' plyw�od
How many plys does a sheet of one-half
inch plywood have? If you said five you are
out of date. For the last few years, most one-
half inch plywood has„peen made withfour
plys. 1.
Who cares? Well, if you are doing some
building where plywood is used as a struc-
tural . member, you probably should' care.
The best examples are gusset plates on
trusses: A lot of our truss plans show 'gusset
plates of one-half inch fir- plywood: These
designs were based on five ply sheets. •
If you intend to use four ply plywood for
gussets, you will have to increase 'the size of
the gusset and the number of truss gusset
nails by at least 20 per cent. An alternative
is to use five ply, three-quarter inch plywood
of the size specified on. the plan and use
three inch concrete nails.
This seems like a lot of trouble consider-
ing the plywood isn't any thinner. If you are
just using the wood for sheathing, then you
likely don't need to give it another tho figght.
But, for gusset plates and other structural
members, keep in mind your plywood trivia.
