Funds are established' fromi which payments may be made to the participating growver after a year of depressed prices. The amrount of paymient is limited by the Ontario sup- port price. This price represents 95 per cent of the five year average market price plus adjustments for changes in cash costs. The maximum Ontario Support payment in any year will be the difference between the 95 per cent and 90 per centf of the five-year average market price. The grower contributes a cash deposit to the extent of one-third of the possible payout. The registraion fees for 1985 crops per tonne are: Grain Corn $2.25; Soybeans_ $4.80; White beans $8.90; Winter Wheat $2.50 and Barley $2.15. The final date for applying for the 1985 Stabilization year is October 1, 1985.

He airrived home with bushels of everything. 1 reminded him thàt we really had sufficient of everything, but him being adamant and me losing ground, I begani h auling out jars, lids, sugar and th e pressuire cooker. I crouched benieathi the weight of an insupportable burdeni everytime I glance around the kitchen. 1 tried pleading wýith him, bribed the kids to feed some of this; mass to the horses, pickled mnyself into a frenzy, bought a food pro- cessor and proceed to shred myself to death. There seem- ed to be no end to these con- founded vegees, which he continued to supplement from the, garden, scarce as that crop was. The pressure cooker hissed and steamed. I'd have one eye cocked to the pressure gauge and one pleading eye watching him stagger into the kitchen with somne fang dangled vegees he had managed to purchase. My first reaction was homicide, then suicide and finally tear- fuI reigniation. The piressuire cooker has driven me insane and 1 often envision it blowing uip.
