The Toron- to-Dominion Bank, Bowman- ville Branch presented the award to the Best Calving Interval. We want to thank the donors of these awards for their continued support of the DH.I.A. Program, as these awards do present an oppor- tunity for producers to in- crease their production and realize something for it. The remainder of the pro- gram was taken by presenta- tions by Mr. Don Oliver of Peterborough who showed slides and gave some of his thoughts on his experiences while with Cuso in Nigeria. This proved very interesting to those in attendance. Don Chambers, the Eastern Super- visor for the D.H.I.A. Pro- gram led a discussion on the use of the barn sheets that dairy producers have and how to better make use of these in their culling and breeding programs in their herds. It was a very snccessful Dro- gram again ini the past year., and credit for the success of the program bas to go to the producers as well as Bob Sisson, the County Supervisor for the D.H.I. PrograÎm. Expression of Opinion Poil To Be HeId The Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board has an- nounced that it will conduct an expression of Opinion Ballot among commercial producers of Fiue-cured tobacco on the poundage quot a marketing system. The ballot will be conducted in conjunction with the Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board, which wilh also assist in determining eligibility to cast a ballot in the poil. In establishing the questions to appear on the ballot, the Farm Products Marketing Board will consider recommenda- tions from the tobacco board, other organized groups, and individuals. The Farm Products Market- ing Board is concerned that producers have every oppor- tunity to express their opin- ions on the poundage conver- sion formula that will estab- lish their long-term marketing quotas. The board wilh mail letters to all eligible producers explaining the questions on the ballot, and in addition, will hohd a public meeting at which producers may ask questions about the conduct and content of the ballot. 'the time and place of this meeting will be announced shortly, as well as, the details of the ballot. We urge tobacco growers in the area to express their thoughts regarding this expression of opinion poli, and if you do have any questions you can contact your local representative to the Ontario Flue-Cured To- bacco Growers' Marketing Board, MacFrew, R.R. 3, Port Hope. Support Price for Ontario's 1977 Beef Caif Plan Agriculture and Food Minis- ter, William Newman, an- nounced on Mardi . l7th, the details of the 1977 Beef Calf Income Stablization Program. Because of integration with the new Federal Plan it was necessary, to. announce the conditions of the Ontario Program at an earlier date than in previous years. The support price for calves under Ontario's Beef Caîf Income Stabilization Program will be 51.5 cents a pound this year, an increase of 1.5 cents a ponnd over 1976. Mr. Newman pointed ont that the Federal Government Beef Caif Stab- ihization Plan will not effect the level of price guarantee provided by the Provincial Program for those producers who are enrolled in the On- tario Program. He said that Ontario Beef Caîf Producers now have three options: the first option is that producers can enroîl in the Ontario Program. This automatically also enrolîs them in the Federal Plan if they meet the requirements of the Federal Program. Pro- ducers who participated in the Ontario Plan last year will receive enrollment forms in .te mail. New participants will be able to get forms-from their Agricultural Office as well. The third option is for producers not to participate in any of the plans. Mr. Newman said the producers enrolled in the Ontario Plan will be guaranteed the Federal Sup- port Price, and in addition will receive the difference be- tween the Federal Support Price and the Provincial Support Price. Also, -every producer enrolled on the Ontario Program will have some cows which are not eligible for inclusion in the Federal Plan because there is a five head deductible on the Federal Programa for each_ producer. All cows in pro- ducers possession as of April 1, 1977 wil be eligible for coverage under the Provincial Plan. The enrolîment fee for 1977 is $8.00 per cow, .*and application forms for the program must be returned to the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food by May 3lst, 1977. In making the announce- ment, Mr. Newman pointed out that thîs is the third year the Province's Beef Caîf Income Stabilization Program and in 1976, more than 15,000 producers enrolled 355,000 cows and received $20,750,000 from the program. AlM locate $5 Milion from Lottery As Funds for Environment Prolects The Ontario Government has alhocated $5 million from "The Provincial" lottery funds for projects related to environmental health, Envir- ônment Minister George Kerr announced recently. "These additional funds will augment on-going environ- mental heahth programs in the Ministries of Environment, Health and Labour. Environ- ment Ontario's share will be directed to urgent projects not previously possible under existing budgets - not only in research but also in restora- tion of environmental quality" said Mr. Kerr: Two projects have already been planned by the Ministry under this program: 1. Abandoned mine tailings will be identified and cleaned np to prevent contamination of water tables. 2 . A study of alternative water disinfection methods. Individuals and groups are eligible for financial support provided the necessary tech- nical expertise and equipment are available and terms of the public tendering process can be met. To assist in pinpointing highest priority proposals, Environment-Ontario's Re- search Advisorv Committee will issue a list of projects considered to be the most urgent. Public tenders wilh be called starting in April. "However, we're open to suggestions and want to en- courage initiative, therefore, unsolicited proposais will be considered on the same basis as projects on our priority list." .Projects should be practic- ally-oriented, cont -fefcive and directly. related to the solution of serions or urgent environmental health prob- lems. 1Environment Ontario will continue to identify needs and areas of interest, set priorities and caîl for proposais. How- ever, unsolicited proposals- will be considered on the same basis. Projects shonld not be an extension of regular Minis- try programs. Projects wili be carried ont by contract unhess a clearly defined benefit can be demonstrated for in-house work.
