Section Two The-Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 9, 1976 5 Agricultural News Corn and Soybean Support Prices It was announced recently that -the support prices for orn and soybeans for the j~75-'76 crop year, under the Federal Stabilization Act has been established. The support price for corn for the period September 1, 1975 to August 31, 1976 is $2.11 per bushel and the soybeans support price for the same period is $4.35 per bushel. For both commodities, support prices is based on 90 per cent of average market prices for the previous five years: adjusted upwards to reflect increased cash pro- duction costs in 1975 over the previous five years. That is in the case of corn at 90 per cent of the base price or a $1.80 per bushel, plus Mec per bushel for increased cash costs in pro- duction, and in the case of soybeans, the same percent- age of base price $3.95 per bushel, plus 42c as the cash cost increase. Corn and soybeans are named commodities under the Agricultural Stabilîzation Act which was amended in 1975. The mandatory. level for named, commodities provided in the Act before it was amendedý (80 per cent of the previous 10-year average price) would have provided a support price of only $135 per bushel for corn and $2.81 for soybeans. Farmiers' increas- ing production costs are being considered in establishing support prices. A look at the dîfference between the old Act demonstrates clearly that the support now being provided is a great improvement for producers. Average annual market re- turns to soybean' growers during the past five years ranged from $2.79 per bushel in 1970-'71 to a record of $6.35 in 1974-'75. Corn producers had average prices ranging fromj $1.17 per bushel in 1971-'72 to a high of $2.85 in 1973-'74. Clculations to determine if corn and soybean "INSU RANCE. COVERS THAT?"

OFFICE 623-4406 i j) RES. 623-5023 producers will receive pay- mients under the stabilization plan will not be made until after August 31, 1976. Any deficiency payments will be calculated as the difference between the support level announced and the average market price received during the period September 1, 1975 to August 31, 1976. Since the market price used in this calculation would be an average price for marketings by ail producers, it is still very much to the advantage of an individual producer to get the best price possible for his crop. Seasonal Farm Work Accommodation The Canada Departmrent of Manpower and Immigration and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will continue in 1976-'77 to provide financial assistance to Ontario Fruit, field grown vegetables and tobacco growers to con- struct or renovate housing for seasonal farm workers. There are no changes. from the 1975-'76 Program with grants equal to 50 per cent of the cost of construction or renovation up to a maximum of $3,000 per grower or $6,000 for a partner- ship or an incorporated farm business. When approved, applications will be processed for payment on a first-come, first-served basis and shouid there be some applications not submitted in time for payment in this fiscal year's budget allocation, they will be held in abeyance. Last year's budget allocation for seasonal housing was fully utilized to assist 250 fruit, field grown vegetable and tobacco grow- ers to construct or renovate accommodation for 1,877 workers. The 250 applicants provided housing for an average of 7.5 workers each at an approxi- mate total cost of $1,367,000 giving an average total cost of $5,479 per applicant. This in turn gives an average total cost of about $725 per worker to be housed. Providing good accommodation is a hiable asset in obtaining and keeping seasonal farm labour and ir~ turn helps to alleviate the dependence on local help. It is apparent that this program is providing growers with sig- nificant assistance in working towards this part solution to their manpower needs. Grow- ers requiririg information on the Seasonal Farm Worker Accommodation Program can get in touch with the Agri- cultural Office and set up an appointment with the Agri- cultural Engineer. Inseet and Disense Check We want to take this opportunity to, again, encour- age county farmers to keep checking their hay fields, especially those fields that cuntain alfalfa. The reports of alfalfa weevil damage con- tinue to come in from Western Ontario and signîficant dam- age is occurring in counties of Simcoe, Dufferin and Grey. This indicates that the egg hatch of alf alfa weevil is taking place as the temper- atures warm up, and so we want to urge producers to keep checking their fields for any alfalfa weevil damage. If you do have damage and want to know where the economic level is, you can get in touch with the agricultural office, or use the best control method, which is cutting hay as early as possible and this in turn, allows you to put in hay that is of high protein value for the upcoming year.

Phone 623-4473 by John Squirrelly The federal budget that was delivered recently to a breath- less electorate and a derisîve loyal uppusition was not the product of a f ew moments of idie musing on the part of Finance Minister Donald MacDonald. In fact, it has been reliably reported that it took several hours at least. My Ottawa informant, who is a waiter at the Chateau Laurier, says that the mem- bers of the cabinet got together a few weeks ago over some cold glasse,s and ham- mered the whole thing out. It should be pointed out that my friend is typical of most waiters in that he really doesn't know his best custom- ers by name but rather by what they drink. Iowever, by matching photographs to drinks later, it was confirmed that, indeed, this had been the meeting that laid the ground- work for what was ultimately to become the budget. It seems that a scotch and water had strolled in about noon one day and requested a large table, saying that he expected some others to join him. Shortly after, a Screech on the rocks sat down and began suggesting certain in- clusions in the upcoming IGA FLAVORED Orange POLY BAG Crystals '0FK4'SDZ IGA ROYAL GOLO PROCESS (MILO OR NIPPY) Cheese Slices IGA IN MOLASSES OR TOMATO SAUCE) Beans with 1424L Pork . 9 RESDL A R IÙA PotatoChips 375g 9 U<: PKG .,FU speech that would be of benefit to the Maritimes. The Scotch noted everything and said he would see what he could do. SAbout ten minutes after the Screech left, two fingers of vodka and a zombie walked in and took their seats. The Vodka started haranging the Scotch about the cost of maintaining embassies abroad and the Zombie mumbled something about needing more dough for com- bines investigations. The Scotch said he would see what could be done. The chairs were hardly cold when two screwdrivers and a sidecar marched in and began yammering ail at once on three different topics. The Scotch took everything down and, as the Sidecar got up to leave, he told hlm to keep on trucking. Not more than ten minutes had gone by when a guy carrying a chicken arrived and asked for some good old country cider. My friend would have had his order ready but he had neyer seen him before. Besides, he said, he wouldn't have served him in those coveralîs, anyway. The cider started on about the position of Canadian farmers and the Scotch indicated he C'heers I1 wgs5 concerned and would do ail hie could to improve the situation. 13y the time my informant hâd returned from the kitchen with an order of Cornish hiens for, another table, a haîf bottie of champagne had arrived in company with two plaincloth- ed Mounties. He knew they were members of the RCMP because they had "Maintiens le Droit"~ printed on their stetsofls. Le Champagne said hie just wanted to make sure that provision would be made in the budget for singing lessons for a, certain young lady who was to make hier debut later thîs year at Maple Leaf Gardens. The Scotch pro- mised the fullest consider- ation, particularly after Le Champagne mentioned that several backbenchers were eager to become finance mînister. A milk wandered in soon after and, as my friend went to fetch it, the Milk pulled at his sleeve and allowed with a wink that even though hie was an abolitionist, no one ever spoiled a glass by adding a couple ounces of creme de menthe. The Milk then told Scotch that the price of rope and scaffolding had risen dramatically in the past year and should be deleted from any preliminary estimates as a cost saving measure. The Scotch agree, adding that he could probably get a compe- tent firing squad for haîf the price. The Milk, left, weeping. As my friend was cleanîng off a nearby table, a Bloody Mary and a Martini entered. The Bloody Mary averred that his department desperately needed more money to expand the country's jails and also to hire more judges to f111 them. The Martini declaredthat the postal employees were revoît- ing, a comment with which the Scotch heartily agreed. After that, there was a short procession of other drinks, particularly a bottie of Chianti wailing about labour relations and a couple of Frozen Daquiris representing the Northwest Territories. My friend went off shift then but he had heard enough to be. able to, leak the contents of the budget to theCanadian Press a good four days before it was made public. 1 ran into hlm a few days ago and, as he brought my Molson Golden, 1 asked him if there were any other news items he had picked up in his position as unintentional eavesdropper. "Nothing spectacular," he said with a shrug, "Just a few small things here and there. For instance, you see that Rye and Ginger over there by the door?" He pointed out a wel dressed man whom I immed- IGA STARB RITE Liquid Bleach BRANDI were your best buy? Tey stili are!
