a using two different plows: a
I 5.16 (a plow with 5 bottoms,
-Eg each 16 inches wide) or a 4-16.
Operating the first plow at 3
mph and the second at 3.75 mph
-z- will mean that each plow will do
an acre in thirty minutes. But
EL' which one requires more power
to pull it?
Professor Hughes says that in
an average soil the 5-16 plow
FE will need a force of 6,400 lbs.
to move at 3 mph. The smaller
plow, moving at 3.75 mph, will
need 5,600 lbs, force. The force
required to pull a machine will
E' increase with the speed the
machine is going.
Research has now developed
E." equations to estimate a pull at a
given speed in a particular soil.
Because force and speed
estimates are available, a farmer
g"--- can calculate the horsepower to
pull each plow, says Professor
E--- Hughes, or the horsepower for
any tillage tool if the estimates
are available.
LE The calculation is made by
multiplying the pull force by the
speed in miles per hour. The
E.- result is then divided by 375.
In the above case, therefore,
the 5-16 plow figure is reached
by multiplying 6,400 and 3, and
dividing by 375. The result: 51
hp. A similar calculation shows
the smaller plow needs 56 hp.
Phone 235-0141 :4= Using the 5.16 plow would mean
= an average saving of 5 hp to pull
the plow.

over 90% of the rural youth that
receive a secondary education do
not return to the farm but
migrate to the urban centres
where the corporate sector reaps
the benefits of their education.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of the situation that
exists, we recommend that
educational tax be based on the
ability of the individual or
corporation to pay.
To make this possible it
would be necessary for provinces
to make more monies available
for educational purposes at
elementary and secondary
school levels.
If the government finds that
there is not sufficient funds in
the public treasury to pay for a
higher share of education costs,
we recommend that the
additional monies be derived
from those that benefit from a
higher standard of education,
mainly society in general and the
corporate sector in particular,
based on their ability to pay.

Petition being .circulated
to offer school taxes
South Huron local 317 of the
National Farmers Union is
currently circulating a petition
in the townships of Hay,
Stephen, Stanley and Usborne In
an attempt to change the system
of school taxation in Ontario.
Following is a release from
the district local's Secretary,
Mrs. Maxine Miller:
We welcome the opportunity
of presenting the farmer's case
regarding school tax assessment
in this province.
The Fanners' Union and
farmers in general have been
very concerned about the
increased cost of education in
this province.
The Farmers' Union in the
past has repeatedly expressed its
opposition to governments
concerning the method by which
farmers have been taxed for
education purposes. Our policy
in the past and presently is that
real property should not be
assessed for education purposes.
During the past decade net
farm income has steadily
declined but governments have
repeatedly increased our cost of
production by continuously
increasing our assessment and/or
tax levy for educational
purposes at the elementary and
secondary school level.
Provincial governments have
seen fit to modernize and
streamline the entire educational
system, by consolidation of
schools, and county
administration, but continue to
use a horse and buggy method of
financing, which prolongs and
increases the injustice farmers
must bear in financing education
at these levels.
The present system of
taxation for school and
municipal purposes as applied to
township ratepayers was
initiated at a time when, as a
rule, the ownership of real
property meant income. This
situation, at least in the case of
farmers, no longer exists. While
some inequities the share of
municipal expenses borne by
farmers exist the glaring injustice
is in the case of school tax where
the service provided by this tax
in no way benefits the farm land
or buildings.
In Howard Township, County
of Kent, it was found that an
approximate average assessment
on non-farm residential property
was $2,700.00 for taxation in
1969. This would yield $172.66
in school tax. Similarity, the
general run of farm assessments
was $6,500,00 yielding $415.68
in school tax.
If we assume the farmer
working the farm referred to,
obtains an income of $4,000.00
yearly and a similarity skilled
non-farm worker living in the
house earns $6,000 yearly, then
the farmer pays a school tax
equal to 10.4% of his income,
while the non-farmer pays a
school tax equal to 2,9% of his
annual income.
The farmer pays 3.6 times as
much as the non-farmer on an
income basis. Much the same
situation exists in Huron
County.
There are some business and
commercial properties in the
township which pay school taxes
but these businesses are able to
add the tax to the selling price
of their product or service and
more often than not the farmer
ends up paying it. The farmer so
far has been unable to add this
cost item to the selling price of
this product.
Farm real estate is an
investment. Does the man who
invests in shares of a corporation
pay school tax on his
investment?
We recognize the need for a
higher standard of education,
however this cost should not be
tied to property. Taxation
related to property should be
the cost of servicing that
property. As education is not a
service to the land, therefore
lands and agricultural buildings
should be exempt from an
education tax levy.
We must also point out that
