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

grievance procedure open to him
if he felt he was being dealt with
in an unfair manner by a local
municipality regarding a title

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.

Maybe you townspeople have
heard some rumors that the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
is demanding a farm income
insurance plan, and you have
undoubtedly thought that this is a
problem that doesn't concern
you. 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,

food costs. 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.
What about you? Why not tell the
government what you think.
