Herm and Dorothy Schaap will receive up to $20,932 in financial assistance from the program to grow a trial crop and gather produc- tion data on two species of "north- ern ,kiwi" that are much hardier than the variety we now import from New Zealand and other parts of the world. "The northern kiwi vine can tol- erate our long, cold winters and still produce large quantities of de- licious tasting kiwi fruit," said Herm Schaap. The northern fruit possesses the unmistakable kiwi flavour and sparkling green flesh of its New Zealand cousin, but comes out the winner in side-by-side taste tests. Unlike its fuzzy cousin, hardy kiwi fruit has a smooth skin and is about Acre age rep ®rts iiow e WALKERTON - Ontario farmers enrolled in Crop Insurance and/or Market Revenue Programs will soon receive their final acreage re- port by mail, and should return them within 10 days of planting but no later than July 4.

"The different options offered by the Commission provide producers with a flexible and efficient means of reporting their acreage," said Greg Brown, Director of the Crop Insurance and Stablization Branch. "It's important to provide this in- formation by July 4, because pro- ducers who report their acreage lat- er than July 4 will be penalized with a two per cent reduction of the guaranteed production under both programs."

The northern kiwi vine has a growth habitthat is similar to the grape vine, and it is easy to grow. With its small, white, fragrant blos- soms, the vine 'has ornamental qual- ities and easily attracts bees. Over the course of the five-year project, the Schaaps will monitor the progress and development of the five -acre kiwi fruit test plot, us- ing such criteria as growth, yield, weed control, irrigation, fertilizer, pesticides, and overall variety per- formance. The northern kiwi pioneers Said they could eventually replace im- ports in the local markets, or even open up a new market for this unique fruit. They intend to employ five to 15 people seasonally. The Tobacco Diversification Program is administered by an eight -member committee of local community business people and ° government representatives. The program is open to all individuals and organizations in the traditional tobacco -growing regions of Onta- rio. Applicants can receive up to $25.0,000 to fund a portion of their costs for eligible projects related to marketing, innovative production and processing, and organizational and human resource development. Since details of the program were announced in May 1994, $2.1 mil- lion has been approved for use in 32 projects. Preparing to do better The Canadian government is moving to bring our domestic ag- ricultural policies in line with a more open and interdependent world trading system -- and to prepare ourselves to do better and better in that system. We are ending certain subsidies that have their origins decades ago, even into the last century. As of August 1st, for example, subsi- dies , under the Western Grain Transportation Act will come to an end. That means two things. First, our ' economy will strengthen -- with fewer distortions, higher val- ued .crops and greater diversifica- tion, including more livestock, more value-added processing and a more efficient transportation system. But second, Canada, in the grain and oilseed sector, will be out of the export subsidy business entirely. We want that spirit and that ex- ample to be reflected in the con- duct of our trading partners in the United States and the European Goodale's Ag Notes Ralph GOODALE Union. Canada has Made its con- tribution, we expect the U.S. and Europe to make theirs. It's about time! Looking to the future, Canada welcomes the expansion of NAF- TA. We are working hard with our partners towards the accession of Chile next year and the export opportunities that will bring. But better trade agreements are not an end in themselves. They are a means to achieve greater ac- cess, greater stability, greater pre- dictability, greater fairness. They are a way to increase the confi- dence and success. of producers and processors, and to satisfy the demands of consumers for good, affordable products and reduced government deficits. We are well launched down that road -- bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally. However, that should not make us self-satisfied or complacent; but rather vigilant in preserving what we have -- both its integrity and its potential. We must work globally to fi- nally put an end to the era of agri- cultural export subsidies. And we must continue to build regional and rtuftilateral trade frameworks that complement each other, that work together toward objectives we all share -- financial security, economic growth and good jobs. We all know the' old saying -- where there is a will, there is a way. Today, we generally know what the ways are. Now, it is a question of will, especially on the part of our biggest trading part- , ners who are lagging behind the Canadian example. I welcome your questions or comments.
