Association of MunicipatiAleS of a,m," Agri-notes What insurance (rly Jack Riddell MPP) TheGasoline and Fuel Oil Price Freeze Act, 1975, was introduced in the Legislation this week. This 7 Bill imposes a temporary freeze on prices charged for petroleum products, used for heating or operating vehicles, sold in Ontario. The price fixed is that prevailing on the 23rd June, 1975, subject only to the increase due to changes in the Federal Excise tax. The freeze is for three months, subject to limited W extension by the Lieutenant Governor in Council if the Assembly is recessed or not in session. Premier William Davis in his statement to the Legislature said that the Government also proposes to appoint a one-man royal commission to marshall facts and, as necessary, to make relevant recommendations. The Commissioner will assess the adequacy of the Federal price guidelines as they apply to Ontario. He will form opinions as to fair and reasonable pricing arrangements to apply to Ontario. He will form opinions as to fair and reasonable pricing arrangements to apply beyond the 90 day freeze. is Robert. Nixon, Leader of the Opposition asked the Premier., whyPhe did not include in his‘Ao.-h statement a position that the Ontario Government can take with regard to the cost of electricity in this Province. Mr. Nixon said the concern was for the price of energy in the Province and not with the price of oil. He felt a bill should be brought forward which will direct the Energy Board not to permit an increase in the cost of electricity. Mr.' Nixon did not feel that a 90 day freeze on the cost of heating fuel is going to have any significance in this Province because the heating season does not start until the end of September. William Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food, suffered a heart attack on June 12th. He is now.,in a hospital in London where he is recovering well but is not expected to return to work for "quite some weeks". In his absence, the Honourable Eric A. Winkler, Chairman of the Management Board of Cabinet, announced the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization Programme. This programme will form the first part of the farm income stabilization thrust is announced in the Budget speech on April 7, 1975. The two objectives of this programme is to stabilize the income of recognized beef calf producers in Ontario and to encourage a continuing steady supply of Ontario produced beef. Mr.Winkelr stressed that the programme is lohg term in scope with the major emphasis being on the benefits which will accrue to those producers who plan to continue in beef calf production over several years. Income An income stabilization fund will be created whereby all recongnized beef calf producers in Ontario will qualify for this joint producer-government programme on a voluntary basis for an initial five year period. Both the farmer and the Provincial Government would make annual contributions to the fund. The weighted average market price becomes a vital statistic in the producer payout under this programme. The weighted average price for Ontario produced stocker calves will be established each year at several principal selling points in Ont ario during September,October and November. Should the weighted average market price of stocker calves fall below the guarantee a payme nt for the difference will be made to participating producers. Producer payments from the fund will be made on a per cow basis to make it consistent with the premiums which will be collected per cow. A payment would be made for each cow registered in the programme. A variety of factors will determine the payout per cow: the • minimum price guarantee established ; the weighted average market price;, the number of calves from 100 cows and the average calf weight. In this particular plan, payments will be based on a 450 pound calf and an 85 per cent calf drop. A price guarantee of 50c a pound cables for the current year. The producer payment will be the same for all partipipating producers irrespective of their individual selling price or their individual costs of production. A farmer will not be required to sell his calves in the year in which they are produced to qualify for payments. Participating producers will be required to pay an annual fee per beef cow. registered in the progrmme and for 1975 the fee will be $5 per cow. Mr. Winkler stated that in light of the particular financial circumstances surrounding the cow-calf producers at the present time, the 1975 farmer premium will be deferred until late in 1975, If after calculation, a producer payoet is made in 1975, the producer's premium will be deducted from his payout. A promissory note will be accepted in lieu of a cash payment of the fee. The' enrolment period for eligible producers for this year will be July 15 to August 31, 1975. Applications and other pertinent information can be obtained from the local Agricultural Representative's office after July 15th. Drhinage Act Mr.W inkier also introduced the Drainage Act, 1975 and the Tile Drainage Amendment Act. The Drainage Act, 1975, Mr. Winkler said, revokes the present Drainage Act and re-enacts it in a more sequential. logical and updated format. This Act provides for petition procedures to be more equitable to the principal landowners with a stake in a drainage proposal. the owners of 60% of the land requiring drainage can now present a valid petition. A further provision allows for a preliminary engineer's report on a proposed drainage works before the interested parties have to proceed with the expense of a detailed engineer's report. In this regard, an on site survey of the drainage site by all interested parties will now become a routine matter of procedure with each drainage proposal. This will allow for a gross analysis of the viability of the project. by all ^concerned. One item of the Bill provides for Provincial grants to be used to pay the drainage superintendents to supervise the maintenance and repair of drainage works. The appointment of the drainage superintendent remains as a municipal responsibility. Another item in the Bill allows for, the establishment of an Ontario Drainage Tribunal to look into appeals on the technical aspects of drainage. Maintenance and repair costs are now eligible for the same grants as new construction projects. Appeals In order that individual farmers might have the opportunity to receive 'More equitable treatment from local municipalities regarding loans for farm drainage purposes, the Tile Drainage Amendment Act allows for appeals to the Ontario Drainage Tribunal. This is the same Tribunal as constituted• under•the ge.e4etrliq-7or,Pridi*ithe Amended Act, a farmer had no grievance procedure open to him if he felt he was being dealt with in an unfair manner by a local municipality regarding a title loan.

Horticultural , Societies throughout Ontario will receive additional financial assistance this ' year through doubling of their annual grants. The increased grants are part of several changes announced in the Horticultural Societies Amendment Act, 1975 Prior to the amended Act, horticultural societies qualified for an annual maximum grant of $500, depending on membership numbers. The levels have been changed whereby a yearly maximum grant of $500 is available to societies with 100 members or less; a $1000 yearly grant to societies with 100 to 200 members; and a $1,500 grant to societies with more than 200 members. Where a new society is formed, the first year membership grant has been increased from 50c per person with a $75 maximum to $2 per member with a $200 maximum. Societies which have been in existence for more than one year will now receive grants based on $1 for each member for the, previous yearrand tine-half-of the expenditures incurred during the previous year. Under the amended Act a new provision allows for volunteer or donated labor to be considered as an expense within a society to one-quarter of the amount expended. answered by a Bible verse, and minutes of the last meeting were read.

I will try to show you differently. It is your problem because it concerns the producers of the food you will have to buy. It may surprise you that the percentage of your income spent on food was in 1974 some three per cent lower than ten years ago. The reason you feel that it is higher is because of the fairly steep increase iu food prices last year. This steep increase would not have happened if the prod- ucer had his cost of production returned each year. What is happening in the food industry year after year is the lamentable fact that everyone wants to be on the bandwagon. If the price of pork goes up, the corn grower will fill a barn with pigs. When all those pigs come to market we have more pork than we can eat and the price drops below the cost of production. At the same time, corn is taken off the market in great quanitites, Hospital.

The farmer • , on an average of several years, get his production costs returned. You may, on an average of several years, have reasonable food costs but the fluctuations make no one happy. The income insurance plan is designed to give the farmer his cost of production. Not every farmer mind you, only the efficient ones. The farmer pays some of the premium and you through the government pay some of the premium. The result will be that the corn producer sticks to corn and the pork producer to pork, and the price for you in the store will be more stable. In B.C. the urban people supported the scheme.
