PHONE 887-6528 Changes in the program of fiCapital Grants for Ontario Far.r merS,'t- which was introduced in 1967 have been announced and take place immediately. The first change involves an expansion of the program to in- clude livestock fencing as an item eligible for such grants. The revision to the program provides that capital grants of up to 40 per cent of the cost of providing new, permanent livestock fencing will be made available. The grants will apply only to the cost of materials. The capital grants program provides that any farmer who had a gross income of $3,000 from his farm operation in the previous year may be eligible for grants of up to 40 per cent of the, cost of certain capital works projects, to a maximum grant of $3,000. In the case of partner- ships or family farm corpora- tionS) wberc two or more, famir lies are actually involved in the. operation of the farm, the maxi mum. grant available is $6,000. whqre a farmer rents his land, he may be eligible for grants, if the gross farm income of the tenant exceeds $3,000 annually, Assistance is available in four main categories. (a) Farm. Drainage, Farm Structures and Orchard Tree Re- moyal; (b) Field Enlargement, Farm Water Supply; (c) Farm Vacation Hosting (maximum grant $1,500); (d) Removal of Dead and Dis- eased Elm Trees (maximum $500). The second change inthe cap- ital grants program involves the section dealing with the removal "of dead and diseased elm trees. This special program, intro- duced April 1, 1971 provides for the payment of grants of 0.00 per tree, to a maximum of $500 per farm. AS of May 19, 1972, the program will apply only to dead and diseased elm trees lo- cated on fence lines and in open fields and will cease to apply to elm trees located in farm wood- lots or forested areas. Capital grant application forms are available at county and district offices of the Ontar- lo Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Suggest canned fruit Canned fruit is a very com- mon item on the shopping list the year round. When buying canned fruit, you will probably notice that they are all labelled with the grade - Canada Fancy, Canada Choice or Canada Standard. Can- ada Fancy is the top grade; the fruit is as nearly perfect as possible. Canada Choice grade fruit may have slight variations in size, color and maturity but is still a goo d selection for the majority of times you would be serving canned fruit. Canned fruit graded Canada Standard, is of good quality but may not be uniform in size. This fruit is usually best used where appear- ance is not the most important consideration, as in puddings or chopped in jellied des serts.These grade standards are established by the Canada Department of Agriculture and are enforced by their inspectors. All fruit is canned at the height of maturity and so has good flavor and food value. You may notice both Dessert Pears and Bartlett Pears on the store shelf. Bartlett Pears are usually considered the best pear for canning as they give a fine- grained, flavorful product. Bart- letts are canned in a 35% sugar syrup and may be a little higher priced than Dessert Pears. Des- sert pears may be any type of pear suitable for canning, such as Flemish Beauty or Kieffer. They are usually coarser and firmer than Bartletts, so only a 25% sugar syrup is needed. The amount of fruit would be the same in cans of both types. The percentage syrup refers only to the strength of syrup and not the amount in the can. Look for both types when you're shopping and buy and compare. NOW as high as 173% 1 4
