January 16th, 1978, is the deadline date for enrolling on the Ontario Grain Corn Income Stabilization Program for the crop year September 1st, 1977* to August 31st, 1978. Under this program the price of corn will be stabiliz­ ed between 90 and 95 per cent of the average market price over the past five years with adjustments for cost of production. This will supplement the Federal plan which supports the price up to the 90 per cent level. Any Ontario corn producer may apply. The Commission will increase the maximum amount on which payments can be made in cases where two or more partners can show that each supports a family unit and derives his or her princi­ ple income from farming. Growers operating a partnership must each be able to show distinct and proportionate investment, management, labour and risk or profit sharing. A maximum of three partners will be eligible in any partnership. The corn stabilization program will cover sales of dry shelled corn calculated at 15.5 per cent moisture and 56 lbs. or metric equivalent in tonnes. High moisture corn and cob corn converted to dry equivalents are also covered.

Sometime ago it was an­ nounced by the Federal Government that there would be a deficiency pay­ ment to corn producers of 6 cents a bushel on grain corn *sold between September 1st, 1976, and August 31st, 1977. The support level for the 1976 corn crop, under the Agricultural Stabilization Act, was announced in April at $2.18 per bushel. This is the past five year average market price adjusted for changes in current cash costs over the previous five year average. The national weighted average price dur­ ing the crop year was $2.12 per bushel, resulting in a 6 cents per bushel payment. This payment is based on dry shelled corn basis 15.5 per cent moisture. Sales of cob corn and shelled corn at higher moisture levels will livestock and poultry operations, are eligible. Sales of seed corn and corn silage are not eligible for support, All purchases of corn and other feed will be converted to corn equivalents by the Commis­ sion and deducted from corn sales to give the net quantity of corn eligible for stabiliza­ tion payments. Individual producers may claim stabilization payments on up to 39,000 bushels or 1,000 metric tonnes. The minimum quan­ tity for enrollment is 400 bushels or 10 tonnes. The maximum on any unit regardless of the number of partners is, 3,000 tonnes. There is an enrollment fee, however, for this year only no fees are payable at the time of enrollment. The plan requires that the producers provide $1.00 in enrollment fees for each $3.00 that is paid oiit-of the fund over the long term of the plan with Government providing the other $2.00. The program is voluntary, and is open to all corn producers whose ordinary residence is Ontario. In order to receive pay­ ment, a claim must be sub- be converted to the dry shelled basis.y DEPARTMENT STORE— HENSALL HENSALL AVAILABLE AT ©re Collectors’ JBfynp ANTIQUES AN’ THINGS K Buyers balk at increases The price of market­ sharing milk quotas has ‘‘levelled off somewhat,” according to Ken McKinnon “of Port Elgin, chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. He said there is evidence of buyer resistance-.to the fantastically high prices of up to 18 cents a pound paid in the fall. The average price reported to the milk board is seven cents a pound, he said, adding that he realizes that for tax reasons the quota prices will be quoted low and the cow prices high in an exchange involving both cows and quota. 50 to $1.00 'if ’I afit DEPARTMENT STORE RON S HEALTH CENTRE WELCOMED TO TOURNEY — Before the weekend junior hockey tournament got underway Saturday afternoon some of the participants got together.
