Applications will not be con- sidered if received after that date, The new provisions will not tax any increase in value of a basic herd which occurs before January 1, 1972, but it will tax any increase and allow any decrease in value which occurs after the end of 1971, in the year in which the increase or decrease in value is realized. This will be ac- complished by using the average fair market value at December 31, 1971 in determining the amount to be deducted from income when a basic herd is reduced in 1972 or a subsequent taxation year. Average fair market value will be based on all the animals of the class in the total herd. A taxpayer will be allowed to decrease his basic herd in certain circumstances even though his total herd is not decreased. He may elect to reduce his basic herd in any year after 1971 by the least of; NDP plan for election An executive meeting of the Huron Riding Association of the New Democratic Party was held in Zurich, Wednesday. Among the topics for discussion were initial plans for the anticipated federal election this year. It was decided to make contacts with the Riding Associations in Middlesex North and Huron- Bruce to establish a steering committee for the combined Federal Riding of Huron . Initial contacts will be made to potential candidates. In other business, the 1972 membership drive for the Provincial Riding was discussed. A goal of an additional 50 percent in new members was established. The programme for the drive will be under the direction of David Weary, Goderich, who hopes to wind up the membership drive in approximately eight weeks with a dinner meeting with guests from the Provincial ND? Caucus. An invitation is to be extended to Stephen Lewis, Party Leader, who has expressed the desire for a return visit to Huron County this year. The Secretary, Shirley Dodds, Goderich, was authorized to contact several members who are to be requested to sit on proposed committees to study Policy and Agricultural problems. Riding President, Shirley Weary, Goderich, cited the success of the first Christmas social as grounds to consider similar activities at some future date. Preliminary enquiries about a social evening in Zurich or Exeter are to be made. In a discussion of other ac- tivities, Riding Vice-President, Herb Klapp, Zurich, suggested that planning for educational activities might form one portion of 'the next meeting which is scheduled for February 9. -the number of animals of the class disposed of in the year,. - 10 percent of his basic herd at December 31, 1971, or the number in his basic herd at the end of the preceding year, Where a taxpayer elects to reduce his basic herd under this provision, and his election is within the limits mentioned above, he will be allowed to reduce his gross income from livestock sales by an amount determined by multiplying the reduction in his basic herd by an average fair market value of all the animals of the class in his total herd at December 31, 1971. Where a farmer has an ap- proved basic herd at th deducted his death, there may be from the value of his livestock on hand, an amount determined by multiplying the number in his basic herd by the average fair- market value of all the animals of the class in his total herd at December 31, 1971. There is no requirement that a farmer establish or report the average fair market value at December 31, 1971 of all the animals of a class for which he has a basic herd until the first reduction after 1971 in his basic herd. However, if such a reduction does not take place for several years, it may be more difficult to do so at that time, It is, therefore, in his interest to establish such fair market value at an early date. Associate Rep named in Huron Richard Farion, 27, has been appointed Associate Agricultural Representative (dairy management) for Huron County effective January 1, 1972, He succeeds Tom Clapp who tran- sferred last fall to Dundas County. Richard is a native of Vegreville, Alberta where his family have a mixed farming operation. Following graduation in 1967 from the University of Alberta where he majored in Animal Husbandry, he joined the Extension Branch,Ontaria Department of Agriculture and Food in North Simcoe at Elm- vale. He has just completed his Master of Science degree in farm business management from the University of Guelph. His wife. Karen is associated with the 'Home Economics program at the Centralia College where she teaches textiles. Plan region office for Huron F of A The Huron County Federation of Agriculture has agreed unanimously to the creation of a regional office of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in the county. The OFA expects to establish 20 regional offices, comprising about 3,000 farmers in each region, but only at the request of county groups. The Huron federation with over 1,000 members is the largest in Ontario. There are about 4,000 farmers in the county. "The of purpose regionalization is to bring the organization much closer to the farmer and thereby increase service to him," said OFA representative Grant Wallace, who attended the meeting here. The Huron federation had asked the OFA for a full-time fieldman and a part-time secretary to operate the office. A similar office is being opened in Perth County and applications are now being called for the fieldman position. Until now, a part-time staff has been hired to run the county office and recruiting of new members has been undertaken by volunteers. The new plan, if adopted across the province, will see the com- plete overhaul of the OFA. It was suggested by a special committee which reported at the OFA's annual meeting late last year following the study into the serious decline in membership. A proposal limiting a farmer's say in Ontario Federation of Agriculture policies to those affecting a "significant portion" of his income will be discussed at 16 township-level federation meetings this month. Huron County Federation of Agriculture Thursday requested an opinion of the proposal from each township federation for the next meeting of the county group in Clinton, February 3. The OFA proposal suggests that "only farmers with a significant portion of their in- come affected by the im- plementation of a policy should have the right to express an opinion regarding the develop- ment of the said policy." The county federation will take a stand on this proposal after learning the opinions of the township federations. "The idea is mainly a way to get the people producing the products having the say and not somebody else," said education committee chairman Mei'vin, Smith, R.R, 1, Walton. "It doesn't seem fair when a man who has only two hogs has as much say on a question as a man with 1,000 hogs." With the decision to allow the townships a say in this question, said county federation president Mason Bailey, "I think you are on the path of democracy — with everyone having a say." In other business, a petition originating in Lambton County asking the province to establish a corn marketing board will also be circulated among the townships, Allan Turnbull, Grand Bend, was elected to fill a vacancy in thb executive. Appointed to the finance committee were: Mason Bailey, Blyth; Mervin Smith, R.R. 1, Walton; Doug Fortune, R.R. 1, Wingham; and Mrs. Faye Fear, Clinton. Appointed committee chair- men were: John Stafford, R.R. 1, Wroxeter (entertainment); Mervin Smith (education); Adrian Vos, Blyth (property); Doug Fortune (insurance); and Vince Austin, Dungannon (Input, a special committee).
