Objectives of the Federation of Agriculture and the National Farmers' Union seem to he moving more in the same direction after a bitter battle of the past according to the Mason Bailey, president on the Huron Federation of Agriculture Referring to the recent attempt of the NFU to have itself named as sole bargaining agent for all farmers in Canada, Mr, Bailey said the NFU seems to be changing its direction. He said those members of the Federation who had participated in cam- paining for the General Farm Organization vote some years ago, would be glad to see that the NFU now seems to agree to having the government approve one organization as a bargainer for farmers and for compulsory involvement in that organization. During the GFO campaign. the Federation had fought to have one united farm organization to speak for all farmers and bargain for them. The NFU fought and won to have the status quo upheld. Mr. Bailey told directors of the Huron Federation Thursday night in Clinton that he was glad to see that Federation members did not fire letters to the editor to newspapers after the NFU members had come to the defence of their new policy with letters in the London Free Press. He said he did not want to see the enmity between the two organizations carried on forever. Guest speaker at the meeting was Dick Miller of the Canada Department of Agriculture, supervisor for Southwestern Ontario in the livestock depart- ment. Mr. Miller spoke and showed slides explaining the new beef grading system introduced September 5. He said the new grades would mean little or no difference for the consumer and were primarily for trading at the wholesale level. He told the farmers that chain- store buyers still like to see well built cattle in the 550 to 650 pound range. They've been buying them, he said, and probably will continue to offer more for them under the new system. John Stafford, past president of the HFA reporting on the OFA monthly meeting in Toronto, said the OFA has asked the provincial government to continue education tax rebates to farmers in 1973 but has warned that it expects a new taxation system to be introduced by 1974, It was announced at the meeting that membership canvasses are planned soon in Flay, Tuckersmith and Colbourne townships. Hope was expressed Thursday night that the fight to gain a larger toll free calling area for telephone subscribers in the northern part of Huron County may not yet be lost. Doug Fortune, a member of the Huron Federation of Agriculture's telephone com- mittee reported to a directors meeting of the HFA in Clinton Thursday night that attempts are being made to get represen- tatives from Bell Canada, Maitland Teleservices Ltd. and Wightman Telephone Company together to see just what costs would be incurred in the large toll-free areas. Mr. Fortune said the telephone committee had met with Murray Gaunt, M.P,P. for Huron Bruce who had promised to do anything he could to set meetings up and that John Cunningham from Bell Canada had agreed to seek a meeting of the three telephone companies involved in the question. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture strongly urges an immediate end to inheritance taxes. "Inheritance taxes critically disrupt the transfer of the family farm from father to son. Often the tax load will force a young farmer to forfeit his inherited farm, in order to pay his father's death taxes," protests Gordon Hill, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Capital gains tax and suc- cession duties will fall on the same person at the same time, "This double tax load is especially harsh to young far- mers because their assets are land, machinery, and livestock. Selling is often the only way to get enough cash. But, what is left may not be an economic farm!" "It's beginning- to look more hopeful," Mr. Fortune said. "At least they're considering it," Mr, Cunningham had earlier told the OFA directors meeting in Toronto that government refusal to grant Bell the rate increases it had applied for would mean Bell could not afford in increase calling areas. In other business at the meeting, the directors approved a resolution which calls on OFA the Ontario government to en- force the Warble Fly Control Act and investigate improved methods of combating warble flies which attack cattle and cause damage to beef carcasses. Some townships no longer con- duct the warble fly spraying programs and some directors blamed inspectors in other townships for not doing their job properly. Zone meeting to elect Individual Service Membership directors to OFA 'have been set for Oct. 23. at Brucdfield for This week, the Federation submitted a brief to the Advisory Committee on Succession Duties, calling for immediate repeal of the Succession Duties Act. The committee will be making policy recommendations to the government. "Succession duties on farm land are not taxes on produc- tivity, but on inflation. The farmer has no control over these pressures. They cost him money but give him no return." The ability-to-pay principle in taxation has strong Federation support. This is why succession duties and gift tax are so aggressively opposed. "The money raised by inheritance taxes on agriculture can never justify the damage to our farming community. The Ontario government has pledged to abolish succession duties in the future, Now is the time," says Hill. southern members and Oct, 25 at Belgr'ave for northern members.. The next ',meeting of the HFA will take the form of an all-party debate with .representatives of parties• running in 'the Oct. 30 election •to speak. Area horsemen win at Western Some of the regulars in the winners circle at area horse shows and rodeos picked off top prizes in the three-day horse show at Western Fair in London. Saturday night before a packed Ontario arena crowd of more than 1,800 Nelson Bilyea of Granton was a double winner. Bilyea placed first in the rescue race and the open keyhole race. Jim Rundle, RR 6, St. Marys was first across the finish line in the second open keyhole race, Sunday while Jim Paisley of Ilderton won the second clover- leaf barrel race. In step dancing competitions, Nancy Nickles of Granton finished second in the 15 - 18 years of age bracket. In the annual sale of champions cattle and sheep, prices ranged much higher than a year ago. Darling's IGA of Exeter pur- chased the champion barrow for 65 per pound. The grand champion lamb went to IGA (M. Loeb Ltd.) for $1.50 a:pound. Last ear's price was 70 . 'The reserve champion brought 75 , per pound from the Lobo Abattoir, up 15c from a year ago, Other lambs were purchased by Ontario's Minister of Agriculture William Stewart and Western Fair general manager Evan McGugan. On September 8 the National Farmers Union sponsored a benefit dance in the Dashwood Community Centre for Mr. and Mrs. Casey Inthout who lost their barn by fire recently. The sum of $356.00 was raised and given to the Inthout Family. Also a dance for the South Huron Association for the Mobile banking is introduced A mobile banking facility, or "agri-bus", equipped to deal specifically with the financial needs of the farm community, was introduced this week as part of the Royal Bank's new "agri- bank" concept - a first in Canadian banking. The "agri-bank", scheduled to open shortly on the northern outskirts of Exeter, is geared to cater to the special financial needs of farmers and the agri business in general. It will provide a full array of special agricultural services including the Royal's Farmplan Loan Program. The telephone equipped "agri- bus" is designed to ensure closer contact between the bank and its farm customers and will provide the manager with a mobile office from which to make an "on the farm assessment" of the banking needs of agricultural clients within a 15 mile radius of Exeter. Outlining the concept, Morrie Morrison, assistant general manager of the Royal said, "the agri-bus will allow the branch manager to spend 80 percent of his time directly on the farm making a first hand assessment of the customers' requirements. The two way telephone will en- sure that he remains in constant contact both with Exeter branch Roger Dowker and customers throughout Huron, Middlesex and Perth counties." Roger Dowker, who has some 20 years of banking experience in farming communities, has been appointed manager of the Exeter agri-bank, Born and raised on a dairy farm, he brings a unique combination of practical farm and banking experience to his new post. He will also be sup- ported by. agricultural specialists from the bank's Toronto district offices. The new Royal Bank office being built at the north-end of Exeter is expected to be ready for occupancy by late October.
