CROP INSURANCE COVERS
NEW FORAGE SEEDING
Ontario farmers may now in-
sure their new forage seeding
against natural hazards prevent-
ing its becoming established.
Under the New Seeding Plan',
available from the agents, of the
Crop Insurance Commission 'of
the Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food, farmers can re-
ceive $17.50 per acre for acres
that .do not become established,
at a cost of only 50c per acre.
This plan is sold separately from
other insurance plans and it is
not necessary for the farmer to
insure his other crops in order to
buy the new seeding insurance.
The insurable perils are all the
Weather factors that might cause
the seeding not to 'become estab-
lished. This includes winterkill
in the following year, as the
coverage extend until May 30
of the next spring. If the seeding
does not become established the
farmer would merely work up
those 'acres that failed_ and would
have a claim for the destroyed
acres, subject to a four acre min-
imum,
Forage is an important crop to
farmers in Ontario. With the
high cost of seeds for clover, al-
falf a and grass this spring,. farm-
ers can ill afford to, lose the cost
of seeding because of adverse
weather. "

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
From now until June many stu-
dents will make one of the most
important decisions of their lives.
Some will decide to stay, in
school and some will decide' to,
try their chances in the work
world with their present level of
education..
There is still a need for degree
graduates in agriculture that
shotild 'be filled by farmers' sons
and daughters.
There is a scarcity deVelOping
of veterinarians willing to work
in large animal Practices. Live...!
stock, farmers should help their
own cause, by encouraging stu-
dents with good academic ability
to enter the Ontario. Veterinary
College.
We would be happy to talk to
anyone who is interested in a
career in agriculture.„

It will cost Huron County tax-
' payers more in 1974. That was the
news at last' Friday's session of
Huron County Council at which
Warden Bill Elston announced
the county budget was "up just a
shade over $400,060" and would
represent what amounts to an in-
crease Of about 5 1/2 . mills.
The Warden explained it
simply.,
"Our services are' going up
every yeai," he said. "If we keep
adding, we must have more
money."
He urged all committee mem-
bers to "try and hold down all
new services" in the coming ,
year.
Clerk-treasurer John Berry
said the total budget amounted to
$5,988,108 . . "just $12,000 short
of the $6,000,000 figure". "The
various committees and boards
have reviewed their require-
ments very carefully, but despite
this action there is a steep in-
crease in the county rate require-
• ments for the coming year,"
Berry said.
The increase is reflected in the
general rate which is increased
some $380,000," Berry noted.
"However, one must remember
that 'in 1973, the county used ap-
proximately $200,000 on surplus
funds to hold the levy at that
time:"
The Highways Department in
turn is drawing on its reserves
this year, Berry said; in order to
hold the Highway Levy., He said
one must look forWard to 1975
when, if the trend continues and
the programtning in the Highway
Department remains constant,
rate increase will be necessary
for highways.
General government will cost
$272,360; protection to persons
and property, $17,000; public
works, $2,129,000; public health,
$400,718; Social and Family Ser-
vices including Hurotiview, child
welfare and social services,
$2,245,673; recreation and com-
munity services including plan-
ning, land division, library,
museum and historic • sites,
$449,845; financial, $196460;
other, such as reforestation,
development, grants, new build-
ing, plumbing inspection,
$179,245; estimated surplus in'
1974, $98,107. Total budget,
$5,988,108.
County taxpayers will con-
tribute $2,033,000 to this budget.
"If you recall, last year it was
decided to accept the Tax Review
Committee's report which al-
tered the distribution of county
costs by prorating.: some of. these
costs on a population basis rather
than assessment basis," said
Reeve Doug McNeil, Colborne.
"In addition to this change, of
'course, is the increase in county
requirement, and as a result the
overall requirements for county
purposes for 1974 are consider-
ably greater."
During' the day-long session,
business included 'a report from
the medical Officer of health, Dr.
Frank Mills. In his presentation,
Dr. Mills attempted to explain re-
cent stories in the press concern-
ing the possible amalgamation of
the Health Units in Huron and
Perth, ---
Dr. Mills said it was his im-
pression that because there was a,
vacancy at the present time in
Perth, after the death of the MOH
there, talk of amalgamation has
come alive again: He said the last
'time it was discussed was when
there was a vacancy in Hurdn.
He explained to council the
decision on this matter is up to
the board of health and county
'council. "All we'd gain is some
extra grants," said Dr. Mills.
"But there would be more work
and less control."
In his report, Dr. Mills explain-
ed the present requirements in
Huron when installing a septic'
' tank-system. '
The 'afternoon session dealt
with the 1.11:01RA study' (Urban
Development in Rural Areas)
which is being completed as a
joint project between the county
and the province. James P. Mae-
Laren Limited, Willowdale, are
the environmental consultants
involved iNthe study.
