AIDED GOOD GOVERNMENT
More than a billion dollars worth of farm
products have been sold by Ontario farmers in
each of the last three years—nearly double the
output of ten years ago.
Development of new crop varieties and thorough
extension work under the present administration
has expanded cash crop acreage in Ontario by
more than 400 per cent
Departmental herd improvement policies have
maintained livestock output at 70 per cent of
Ontario farm income.
The Frost administration has introduced the
most advanced marketing legislation of any
Canadian province.
Community living in rural areas has been
bettered through Frost government grants. Last
year these amounted to a quarter of a million
dollars for 108 community centres.
UNDER THE FROST ADMINISTRATION
SOUND LEGISLATION HAS BROUGHT BENEFITS
TO ALL ONTARIO FARMERS:
< HERD IMPROVEMENT has been encouraged through the Frost Government
program which pays farmers one third the purchase price of all thorough
bred sires. Grants to date amount to $56,000.
• LIVESTOCK LOSSES ARE REDUCED by provincial government provision for
Warble Fly and vaccination against Brucellosis.
• CHEAPER FEED for livestock is demonstrated through five pasture improvement
stations established under the present Government.
• ENDLESS SEARCH for better crop varieties at Ontario Agricultural College
and Western Ontario Agricultural School is made. possible by th®
Department of Agriculture.
• FUTURE FARMERS already have received a million and a quarter dollars in
cash loans from the provincial government under the Ontario Junior
Farmer Establishment Loan Corporation,
