Agricultural Tidbits
with Adrian Vott
Two thirds of the cost of your grocery bill goes to pay for
the cost of marketing. These costs include freezing, canning,
baking, and other processing. Also trucking, rail, freight and
other transportation, plus cost of displaying and selling.
Marketing costs have increased an average of five percent
per year in the last ten years. Labour costd w.e 46 percent of
the marketing bill. Most of this labour cost increase went to
the people working in retailing, wholesaling and restaurants,
The innocent and uninformed people who are screaming for
a roll-back of food prices would do good if they were to tell
us where that roll-back should begin, in lowering labour
wages maybe?

The supervising agent of Ontario Hydro's property
division claimed, according to an article in the Free Press by
Don Murray, that prices offered to farmers by Hydro were
based on an appraisal that was conducted over a period of
several years. It should not be forgotten that these were
Hydro employees. Besides, Hydro didn't offer a price. They
wanted the farmer to sign an offer to sell, based on Hydro's
price, which makes a subtle legal difference.
* * *
Our region is not the only one that is suspicious of Hydro.
Near Arnprior, a generating station and a dam are being
built. The farmer is offered between 230 and 300 dollars per
acre. These are small farms, so the buildings constitute a
great deal of the total value. Hydro pays only for the land,
according to the farmers affected. Do you think it is fair if
the farmer asks for compensation so that he can buy another
farm of comparable value, relocation cost and compensation
for loss of earnings? I do. ,• •

For several years I, and many other farmers, have been
agitating that the code of practice, which decides how far a
livestock building should be located from housing, should be
applied from both sides, so that a house can't be built close
to the livestock building. At long last, we are getting support
from where it counts, from Ontario agriculture minister
Stewart.

A pedestrian charged with
ignoring a "Don't Walk" sign
came up with a novel excuse.
He said he saw the sign all
right, but he thought it was an
advertisement for a cab com-
pany. The Ontario Safety
League reminds pedestrians, as
well as motorists, to watch out
for and obey all traffic signs. A
novel excuse isn't funny after
an accident,

An important meeting was
held in the Turnberry Town-
ship council chambers at
Bluevale on Friday evening,
Nov. 16, when representatives
of seven area councils met with
the Bruce-Huron Hydro
Negotiating Committee.
Present were representatives
from Bruce, Greenoch, Culross,
Turnberry, Morris, Mullett and
McKillop Townships.
The meeting was called after
the township councils involved
had asked what they could do
to aid the work of the
negotiating committee.
Discussion ranged from
possible future expansion of the
present power corridor, in-
volving Classes One and Two
agricultural land, to the un-
satisfactory compensation
being offered to land owners.
Another point of discussion was
the eventual loss of assessment
on properties adjacent to the
power corridor.
Reeve William Elston of
Morris Township said that af-
ter reading a presentation
which his council received from
Don Fraser on Ontario Hydro
there was no doubt in his mind
about the future expansion of
certain parts of' the corridor.
It was also revealed that
many of the public not involved
with the line still do not
realize the size and number of
towers proposed. In the
Wingham area alone it is ex-
pected that the line will be
three towers wide, carrying 500
k.v. and one carrying 250 k.v.,
plus a ten-acre transformer
station with a microwave tower
405 feet in height. All this with
the possibility of expansion to
the corridor and possible in-
crease in voltage to 700 k.v.
All councils agreed to make
presentations to the ex-
propriation authority, which is
the Ministry of the Environ-
ment.
It was also pointed out by
Mason Bailey, chairman of the
Ontario Federation's special
powerline committee, that
other areas of the province are
not accepting Hydro offers to
purchase and that the un-
satisfactory relations with On-
tario are province-wide.
