As soon as growers' applica- tions for compensation are pro- cessed by the treasury depart- ment. payment will be made. The minister could not estimate how long it will take to process the applications. saying "it will take a little time yet." Recently. Mr. Mat-Rae said there is a strong possibility that

that later on the federal govern- : ment will reimburse us for half the cost."

About 1.000 growers were un- able to harvest approximately ‘7.000 acres of grain last year. i Mr. MacRae indicated that icompensation would be at the jrate of $15.71 per acre. “Th e iaverage price over the past 10 lyears has been $18.60 per Iacrc" he said. “and it is felt ‘that the grower should absorb part of the loss. 15 per cent. so this would make a compensa- ition rate of $15.71 an acre."
