for changes in cash produc- tion. The support payment is the difference between the support price and the average market price in 1977-'78 crop year, and works out to $31.97 per tonne.1 Applcation forms will be maied directly to the growers on the Ontario Wheat Produc- ers Marketing Board list. Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan, has also announced there will be a Stabilization Payment for the 1977 barley crop grown outside the Canadian Wheat Board designated area. Producers will receive a deficiency payment of $7.35 per tonne C.16 per bushel), on barley sold between August 1, 1977 and JulY 31, 1978. Payment will be based on barley at 14 per cent moisture. Barley grown outaide the Canadian Wheat Board designated area is a named commodity under the Agricul- tural Stabilization Act. As such, it receives support at 90 per, cent of the five-year average market price, index- ed to reflect changes in the cash cost of production. This is the first time a stabilization g ayment has been made for arley. The weighted average market price during the crop year was $80.84 per tonne ($1.76 per bushel), and'the support price was $88.19 per tonne ($1.92 per bushel). Malting barley and seed will be included in this program, because there was no signifi- cant premitum paid for these as compared with the price for commercial barley. Pay- ments under the Program will b. made only on commercial sales. The same net ss&les concept used in the 1977 corn stabiliza- tion plan will be used with the barley plan. As with the corn p rogram, the Stabilization Pogram is not to disturbthe normal marketplace by en- couragîng farmers to sel barley and buy back other feeda for their livestock. There will be a cross reference between the 1977 corn and 1977 barley pro- grams to ensure that produc- ers do not have their purchase feeds deducted twice, i.e. under both the corn and barley programs. Maximum eligibili- ty under the barley program will be 160 tonnes, with a 2 tonne deductible. Application forms will be available through the offices of Provin- cial Agricultural Representa- tives and fromn the Agricul- tural Stablization Board, 580 Booth St., on the 9th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario - Postal Code KiA 0Y9. 4-H AGRICULTURAL CLUB LEADERS CONFERENCE Each year hundreds of -rural adults share their knowledge with-rural youth by volunteer- ing as leaders for 4-H Agricu- tural Clubs in Ontario.

HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES By Linda Caldwell, Home Economist CANADA CHOICE CANNED TOMATOES OFFER THE BEST They're convenient, whole- some and fresh, and they've become one of the most important vegetables grown for processing in Ontario, say food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture & Food. They're Canada Choice canned tomatoes. In Ontario, the majority of tomatoes are grown in Essex and Kent Counties. The rest .Section Two are grown in eastern Ontario and areas bordering Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. These areas provide the best grow- ing conditions for top-quality tomatoes. Last summer, hundreds of farmers grew more than 20,000 acres of tomatoes. 1 The tomato seedlings are transplanted in early May, carefully tended over the summer months, then harvested beginning in August. Most of the tomatoes are hand picked, but some are mechanically harvested. The tomatoes are transported to the processing plant quickly and rnay be used to make ketchup, juice, soup, sauces or other prepared products. One of the most popular tomato products is the can of whole pack tomatoes.-Last summer, more than 50 millioncans of tomatoes were canned in Ontario. For convenience, canned tomatoes come in 19-ounce and 28-ounce sizes. Undrain- ed, a 19-ounce can yields 5 half-cup servings, a 28-ounce can yields 7 servings. No preparation is necessary. Just add them to your favourite recipe. When well drained, canned tomatoes can be substituted for fresh tomatoes in cooked dishes.
