On Monday 'forenoon,. despite
Very bad weather conditions, the
Ward of governors of the On-
tario Federation of Agriculture
Met the committee on agriculture
with a large delegation. Their
brief, ivhich hadereVieusly been
presented to cabinet, was re-
viewed by the president., Gordon
Greer, a dairy farmer !min the
Ottawa area.
Many excellent suggestions
fetincl expression. among which
were compensation f o r .toss
through rabies; iuniform time
throughout ithe provinces; re-
search` in farm marketing; ex-
amination otexpropriation rights
for public convenieeces; urged
caution in the rise of roadside
Sprays, and; as' did the Farmers'
• Union later in the week, request
for a redaction in the licence fee
of farm trucks, many of which
are used on a seasonal basis,
Mr. Greer expressed the opin-
ion that the milk marketing sit-
uation in Ontario was due for
eareful examination with a view
to improving the market for our
various dairy commodities, it
was pointed out that in Britain
milk pools seem t9 be working
very well for the milk produc-
ers- The dairy commodity groups
represented at the meeting sug-
gested some thought might be
given to milk pooling in Oil -

On Wednesday the Hon, James
N, Allan, provincial treasurer,
brought in his first budget since
assuming his important portfolio ,
last spring.
When a budget is brought down,
everyone is interested in know-
ing of increases in taxation, Hap -
pity, there will be.no. nevi taxes
and no increase In tax rates this
year. This budget calls for an-
other surplus on ordinary ac -1

Amendment to the Succession
Duties Act extends the present
provincial exemption for widows
of $50,000 to $60,000 plus $10,000
for each dependent , child, This
amendment is surely a move in
the right direction and brings
provincial legislation in line with
recent Federal. amendments of
like nature.

Most rapidly expanding growth.
In the last 15 years our popula-
tion has increased almost by 2
million people and is still in-
creasing as rapidly as ever. Mr.
Allan stated also that 52% of
all immigrants to Canada settle
in Ontario.
With this in mind then it is
not surprising to learn that our

T he province is raising from
$20,000 to $25,000, the recognized
cost for eaPIi cia boom and
science laboratory in secondary
schools. included in the base for
computing grants will be the
cost of manual training shops,
industrial arts shops, home CM,
nomics classrooms And eafeter-
ias,
important, and of great help
; to school boards, is the prov-
I ince's offer to pay grants on the
approved cost of lands acquired
for sehool purposes. This has
been a great item of expense to
school boards in the peat who
had to purchase school sites,
without benefit of grant, often
in areas where rapid develop.,
merit had pushed real estate
prices up to high levels.
Municipalities, who have ex-
perienced increased costs through
snow plowing due to the very
i severe weather of this winter,
will be pleased to learn the bud-
get provides an additional 11-.2
million dollars to be spread over
the province to aid this problem
of snow over which we have so
little control.
Of particular interest was the
announcement that, over the next
two years, funds would be pro-
vided enabling the establishment
of 50 new camp sites and 30 new
picnic areas across the province.
The municipalities are expected
to share the cost of these retire-
ational area on a 50-50 basis
with the province.
On Friday the agriculture
committee met with the repre-
sentation of Ontario Farm-
ers' Union, wild had earlier in
the week presented.their brief '
to llie . Among many
valuable suggestions, and con-
structive criticisms, was the sug-
gestion that assembly yards for
hogs should be done away with I
and direct sales negotiated by i
the hog producers' co-op between
producers and processors. A
higher premium for grade A
hogs to encourage quality pro-
duction of pork was also em-
phasized.
The Farmers' Union believed
the depressed economic condi-
tion of agriculture is perhaps!
the greatest single contributing
factorthe .• •
current unemployment prob-
lems.
The agriculture committee is
surely a great place for farm
groups to present their ideas as
they meet members of the com-
mittee from across the province
and from all walks of life.
