The final question to be dis- cussed was "What effect will the National Water Plan have on individual farms?" Members felt that "at present we are under the control of the Ontario Water Resources Commission and a national plan wouldn't make much difference." Mr. and Mrs. Earl Heist, who have studied the subject and Ed Hendrick, a director of the Aus- able Conservation Authority, were leaders in the discussion. The meeting next Monday night will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Elliot. There is more water than land on the earth's surface. chicken and turkey farms, chick hatcheries, bee keeping, nurs, erymen, Market gardening, flOr- ISIS, cultivating or gardening. Class 27 (2), with an assess- rnent rate of $3.50 per $100.00, covers the operations of general farming, tree fruit farming, christmas tree farms, dairy and stock farms, heree farms, OP- silage cutters, hay baling reach- tries, threshing machines, cash crops mechanically harvested; farm drainage contractors. In the past four years under farm coverage by application, rates for Class 27 (1) have been reduced from $1.25 to $1.00, and for Class 27 (2) from $4.50 to $3.50, Fairfield Rural. Learners con- tinued the discussion from last Week on. Water at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Russell King Mon- day night. A significant statement made in the broadcast was that the Uni- ted States is showing interest in Canada as a storage basin for a dependable supply of water. One of the questions to be discussed was '.1low much water does Canada have?" Canada has one third of the fresh water in the world and "with careful use we have enough for a good many years," As to its purity members felt the water in northern Ontario is pure but it is not pure in the southwestern part of the pro- vince. As to how much water will be needed to supply our expanding Workmen's Compensation pro- tection for all Ontario farm em- ployees will become effective January 1, 1966. Some 1,700 farmers in the province have provided this ben- efit in the past but protection is now extended to include all far- mers providing they employ full Or part time help. The same protection will be available on a voluntary basis to farmers not employing help, Ap- plication may be made to The Workmen's compensation Board for coverage for themselves and their wives who are considered partners under The Workmen's Compensation Act. In announcing the new regula- tions which are compulsory on the first of the year, The Honour- able William Stewart, Minister of Agriculture, and The Honour- able H. Leslie Rowntree, Minis- ter of Labour, pointed out that, apart from providing the excel- lent benefits within the Act, they place the farmer in a better competitive position in the labour mart with the more than 100,000 industrial and retail employers already reporting to the Board: "At the present time, with employable help at such a pre- mium, the farmer is at a distinct disadvantage in comparison with the industrial employer who is already safeguarded by The Workmen's Compensation Act. The employment seeker will choose the employer who has the best protection against loss of earnings arising out of injury on the job." Compensation protection pro- vides many benefits for those injured as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of their employment. In minor injuries where the employee is off work for less than two days, medical and hos- pital bills are paid. In more serious cases where the injured person is totally dis- abled, he will receive 75% of his average earnings and all medical or hospital treatment as long as necessary. There is a maximum earnings basis of $6,000.00 a year. For example, an injured farm hand with average earnings of $60.00 per week would receive $45.00 a week as long as he is totally disabled. When he is med- ically fit to work part time or take on light duties, his compen- sation payments would be reduc- ed until such time as he is able to return to his job on a full time basis. Where average earn- ings are $30.00 per week or less, the actual earning rate becomes the compensation rate. If permanent disability results, a pension is payable for life, regardless of any future earn- ings. There are also other finan- cial benefits including widows' and children's pensions and fun- eral expenses in the case of fatalities. All these benefits will also be available to the self employed farmer and his wife who request coverage for themselves at any amount between $2,500.00 and $6,000.00 per year, following ap- plication and payment. Farm employees will receive the protection of the Act from January 1, 1966 even though the employers have not filed a pay- roll statement or paid an assess- ment to the Board. Assessments when issued are payable in sixty days. In the case of farmers, they would be issued in June and payable in August. For the purpose of Board assessment, the farming industry is divided into two divisions: Class 27 (1), with an assess- ment rate of $1.00 per $100.00 of assessable payroll, covers the operations of tobacco farms, mushroom farm s, fur farms, fruit farms other than tree fruit, 540, Ontario Farm Record. Book (formerly, Ontario Farm. Account Book). New sections have been added, for example, pages for swine receipts, beef receipts, and en- terprise comparisons. Other sections have been revised in keeping with modern terming trends. Depreciation is now cal- culated on the straight-line basis, so total feed costs per enterprise can now be worked out. The new, gray Ontario Farm Record Book recognizes the in- creased emphasis on credit in farming today. Sections are in- cluded on Accounts Payable (op- erating and capital), and on Ac- counts Receivable. There is a separate column for interest on the expense pages. A net worth and change in equity statement can readily be calculated in the book. More detailed labor payroll records will now be required with the Canada Pension Plan. A special Labor Payroil page with a column for this and other deductions- appears in the book, An innovation in the new book is the gray shaded areas, These May be completed by farmers who wish to record more inform- ation than is required for the Ontario Agricultural College an- alysis. complete instructions, including examples, are right where you need them in the book, This new edition is available free from county offices of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture.

The new alfalfa variety called "Mega" is being introduced from Sweden. Mega is a Flemish type alfalfa, so in 1966 there will be four recommended alfalfa varieties of the Flemish type, namely Du- Putts, Alfa, Glacier, and Mega. These four varieties are equal in yield and all are susceptible to bacterial wilt. The seed' of Mega and Glacier is in short supply, while seed supplies of DuPuits and Alfa appear to be adequate. Recommended varie- ties of standard type alfalfa will be the same as in 1965, namely Vernal, Narragansett, and Rhi- zome. Vernal is preferred for all plantings, since It is the only variety resistant to bac- terial wilt, Narragansett is suit- able for plantings of two to three years or where bacterial wilt is not prevalent. Rhizome is rec- ommended for Northern Ontar- io, in addition to Vernal. Merit, a variety of ladino clo- ver, will be available in 1966. This variety was recommended in 1965, but a seed shortage re- stricted its use in Ontario. There should be adequate seed of Merit in 1966. Merit has been superior in yield and persistence to all other ladino clover varieties tes- ted in Ontario.
