T-A photo Egg producers will vote on marketing board power Ontarioegg producers will vote in the second week of July on a plan to strengthen the powers of the Ontario Egg and Fowl Producers' Marketing Board, the membership was told at the Ontario Poultry Council meeting in London. "We chose to vote at that time because it is expected the Supreme Court (of Canada) will lute on the Manitoba (chicken and egg war) case by that time," said Harvey Beaty of Thamesford, president of the council. Judgment in the case is ex- pected before the court rises June 28 for the summer holidays. If it rises without handing down a decision, judgment is not ex- pected until the court returns in early October. Some relief for farmers "Edgar Benson's Budget delivered to Parliament last Friday, will be received by Canadian farmers with a sigh of relief" said Gordon Hill, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "I haven't read the fine print yet" said Hill, "but our first analysis shows that about 85 percent of the recommendations made by OFA and CFA regarding tax reform in Canada have been implemented. "Benson has really paid at- tention to farmers' ideas this time, far more than we ex- pected," said Hill. Major recommended changes that have been implemented are the placing of the burden of proof in tax disputes on the government instead of the taxpayer, the removal of estate taxes, an in- creased basic exemption for single and married taxpayers, the eliminating of the evasion of taxes on Canadian income by living outside Canada and the imposing of a realistic Capital Gains Tax. "These reforms will distribute the tax load more fairly," said Hill, "and give those on low in- comes, especially farmers, a chance to live in dignity while they continue in their traditional occupation of feeding the nation. These changes will improve the chances of survival of the family farm," The board, as proposed in the plan, would become exclusive agent for marketing and the setting of quotas and prices. The price paid producers for eggs would be set by an advisory committee consisting of four members of the egg board, three representatives of the grading stations and one retailer, The marketing board would not interfere with present inter- provincial movement of eggs. "However, if after a reasonable period of time there is no agreement on a solution to this problem by the national marketing agency, the egg board will seek another solution." The solution recommended by the board is the use of a permit system similar to that being used by the broiler board. All present producers would be given a quota base that would be equal to a producer's record egg marketings in any consecutive 12-month period that the producer would select since Jan. 1, 1969. Leading opponent of the plan, egg producer Joe Hudson, an Essex County farmer, said the quotas would not help the small farmer with 100 acres. "The threat of quotas has created an oversupply of eggs and brought down prices." Mr. Hudson said. To handle and direct "over- quota" eggs the egg board proposed to operate an over quota pool. This pool would provide a trading service for surpluses and shortages among dub hears about horse diseases The third meeting of the Exeter 4-H horse and pony club was held at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Johns, Tuesday, June 15. The members had the pleasure of being introduced to Ron Hill who explained the care and various diseases of horses feet. He also gave a demonstration on how to shoe a horse. Vice-President Mary Margaret Jeffery on behalf of all the members thanked Mr. Hill for his interesting topic. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

Mr. Beaty emphasized that the marketing board would not take physical possession of all eggs in Ontario but only keep a record of a producer's marketings. Opponents of the plan contend that, under a section which reads in part: "No person shall market eggs except by or through the local board" the egg board has the power to physically possess the eggs, The cost of the plan to the producer would be maximum of one-third cent per dozen for all eggs. The cost estimate for the first year of operation is estimated to be one-quarter cent per dozen eggs. The present license fee of two cents per fowl is to continue unchanged. REPLACEMENT CALVES NEED THE "BEST" IN NUTRITION. THE "BEST" COSTS LESS THAN MILK! From the fifth day after birth to about 5 weeks of age, a replacement heifer calf will consume about 25 pounds of the "best" in calf nutrition . . . Shur-Gain Milk Replacer, or 250 lbs. of whole milk. Multiply 250 lbs. of milk by your price per pound. of milk sold, subtract the cost of Shur-Gain Milk Replacer. The result is one good reason why Shur-Gain is the "best"— cash savings. Another reason is the inclusion of proper levels of antibiotics to give you peace of mind.

COUSINS WITH BEST CALVES — The best finished calf at Tuesday's Hensall Spring Fair was shOwn by Robert McGregor of Kippen while his cousin Murray copped the reserve champion award, They are shown above with their prize calves. Robert is at the left. and Murray at the right T-A photo Clears up tax problem In a press release from Ottawa this week, Robert McKinley, Member of Parliament for Huron clears up a tax income point for farmers as follows: Many farmers who have received the Ontario Farm Tax Rebates have questioned whether or not the rebate is classified as income under the premise that taxes are expenses and thus a rebate on expenses could be income. The Department of National Revenue has ruled that the payment received by an eligible farm property owner, under the Ontario Farm Tax Reduction Program, is not income in his hands for tax purposes. This notice will allow those farmers who have classified the Farm Tax Reduction Rebate as income to adjust their income. The Department also pointed out that in view of the fact that the payment is received directly from the Province of Ontario such payment does not reduce a taxpayer's deduction from in- come in respect of property taxes paid or payable by him to the municipality. With the permission of the Minister of National Revenue a letter confirming the above is included below for clarification: "I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated April 1, 1971 in which you enquire about the taxability of tax rebates being received by many producers from the Ontario Government. I am pleased to inform you that the payment received by an eligible farm property owner under the Ontario Farm Tax Reduction Program is not in- come in his hands for tax pur- poses. Also, as this payment is received directly from the Province of Ontario, it does not reduce a taxpayer's deduction from income in respect of property taxes paid or payable by him to the municipality." The top awards at the annual calf club show held in conjunction with Tuesday's Hensall Spring Fair were confined to the McGregor and Kinsman families. The award for the best finished calf, the Exeter Times Advocate trophy went to Robert McGregor while his cousin Murray took the reserve championship. Robert is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant McGregor and Mr. and Mrs. Jim McGregor are the parents of Murray. In showmanship, Bob Kinsman won the overall championship and his brother Dave placed Top prizes in calf show to McGregor's, Kinsman's second. Bob was also the .senior winner and Dave took the junior title. Les Coleman, runner-up in the senior division was third in overall and Darlene Carnochan, second in the junior division placed fourth in the combined grouping. The prize for the calf showing the most gain went to Les Coleman with a net gain of 522 pounds. The championship finish calf was purchased by Darling's IGA of Exeter for 41 cents per pound and the reserve champion calf went for 38 cents per pound to Merner's Meat Market of Dash- wood, Bill Coleman of the calf club said Wednesday morning, "Without having final figures on the sale I would guess the average price on all the calves would be about 35 cents per pound. In the finish department next to the McGregor's came Bob Kinsman, Les Coleman, Bevin Shapton, Brian Wilson, Christine McGregor and David McGregor. Productivity means grain in the tank.
