The announcement was made following completion of the board's audit for the 1975 crop year and which was pre- sented to a meeting of the board on Monday, September 20th. Mr. Kleiman said plans are underway for preparaion and mailing of approximately 16,000 individual producer cheques which should be in the hands of producers about the end of September. In the pooling system, pro- ducers receive an initial pay- ment when they sell their wheat plus interim and final payments. Mr. Kleiman ex- plained that to date producers have received a total of $2.85 per bushel, made up of a $2.00 initial payment and .85c per bushel interim payment on last year's crop. The board official further explained that the final pay- ment to be made of 78 1/2c per bushel. will make a total of $3.63 1/2c per bushel, which is 71 1/2c per bushel lower than the total for the previous crop which was $4.35 per bushel. Mr. Kleiman pointed out that the drop in price mainly reflects the lower export price for wheat on world markets com- pared to those experienced during the previous crop year. The board chairman also advised that the annual meeting of Ontario wheat producers has been set for October 25th in London, and that a notice of that meeting and the board's annual report and financial statement will be mailed to producers during the second week of October.

Photo by McKinley Treat yourself to Ont. grapes Ontario continues to establish itself as a producer of grapes, not only for the wine industry, but also for table use. Treat yourself to one of the many varieties that are suitable for table use, grape juice, home preserves, freezing, and even baking. Himrod—A delicious white seedless table grape which has a very short growing season and is just making its debut in Ontario markets. Depending on the weather, it is available around the end of August and through the first half of September. Fredonia—A blue grape available through September. It is excellent for freezing, to be used later in pies, cobblers, jam, juice, and other recipes. Niagara—A white grape that has long been used for wines, it is also enjoyed as a table grape by those who like a tart but sweet grape. Look for this grape through the latter part of Sep- tember. Concord—The famous blue grape which first brought at- tention to the Ontario grape in- dustry is excellent for juice and jams, and for freezing to be used later in pies, cobblers and other desserts. The Concord grape is available from the end of Sep- tember to mid-October. It offers the best color and flavor for cooking. Agawam—A red grape that is available through most of October, it is used for making red grape juice as well as for eating as a fresh grape. It has a tart but sweet flavor and a rather thick skin.
