The following is a brief submitted by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture to Huron County Council; Mr. Chairman and Members of County Development Committee, we thank you for Once again inviting the Huron County Federation of Agriculture to this annual event to express PUT views and ideas on behalf of Huron County Farmers. There are several matters we are concerned with which we feel should be supported by Huron County Council. You will recall, that in our submission a year ago, we requested your support to bring about equalization of education taxes. Much has been accomplished since then to relieve farm taxpayers of this burden. However, the system of taxing for education financing has not been changed. We still have the situation whereby those who enlarge or improve their enterprises are assessed for more education taxes. We feel that this method penalizes initiative. Also we had hoped that urban people would also be considered in any equalization of this tax. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is continuing to press Government for complete equalization of education taxes. May we again solicit your support in this effort? Another matter that we feel is important to our County is the need of more off-farm industry in our towns. Our young people cannot all work at agriculture, but it seems to us that there should be more opportunity for employment in Huron County. Most of the produce of our farms is shipped elsewhere for processing. Could we not find more effective methods of promoting development of industry related to agriculture? With the trend to mechanization on farms, our population can only decline unless there are other opportunities for employment. We are also interested in the proposal of Regional Government. We are quite skeptical as to the benefits of this type of administration in our area. There is reason to believe that more control of our affairs would move into the hands of people who are not very concerned with agricultural problems. Our present system may have weaknesses, but we are of the opinion that the proposed change may have greater weaknesses. Perhaps if councillors were better paid at the local level there would be more incentive to better administration. Local Councillors are expected to spend considerable time on public affairs for very small return, compared to administrative people in other capacities. We recommend that any change in method of administration of public affairs be approached very cautiously and that the public be kept very well informed and allowed to voice their opinion on the matter before any changes are made. Some time ago you were requested to support a r eso I u ti o regarding the importation . of Australian beef into Canada. We were disappointed in your decision to not support this resolution. We are of the opinion that Huron County farmers cannot' compete with Australian farmers in the, production of beef. There is no agricultural product produced in Canada that cannot be produced cheaper elsewhere. What is to become of this important industry if we cannot find means of supporting the individuals who must show a profit to remain in business? Huron County in particular cannot afford to allow its largest industry to decline. Without- agriculture, what would this County live on? The economic situation has become very serious on many farms and farmers must have the support of all of us who represent farmers if prosperity is to be maintained. The sugar-beet industry disappeared from Ontario because of lack of support. Now sugar is more expensive than when we were producing sugar in Ontario. This can happen to other commodities if . we do not protect our industry. We recommend that a reconsideration be given by this Council to support the resolution to restrict importation of Australian beef. Could we• also bring to yoni attention the matter of pollution from animal wastes. It appears that this may become a serious problem in the future and we emphasize that we feel that any policy adopted should protect innocent individuals from unnecessary penalties. We recognize the need of controls but recommend that as much protection as possible be available to farmers with existing enterprises who are caught in a situation arising from circumstances beyond their control. '" 'Seine consideration might also be given to the changing needs of society where education is concerned. It appears that a saturation point has been reached in the academic fields • of endeavour. More emphasis on technical courses might well be a realistic move. We recommend that a change be a practical approach to practical things be considered by our school board and council. We thank you gentlemen for this opportunity of expression and hope we can continue to co-operate together in best interests of people of this County that we represent. • AUCTION SALE 20.
