Chances good for sugar beet revival
Federal Agriculture Minister
Eugene Whelan promised 500
potential sugar beet growers in
Chatham Saturday to throw his
personal support toward an at-
tempted rebirth of a South-
western Ontario sugar beet in-
dustry.
The minister told the packed
auditorium of farmers he will
seek cabinet support for a
national sugar policy aimed at
providing a stable price for
home-grown sugar and federal
aid for construction of a new
sugar refinery in the district
which could be ready for
operation by the fall of 1974.
But, the minister cautioned, his
support hinged on the interest
shown by individual farmers who
discuss the matter.
Mr. Whelan said he needed to
be armed with a document from
Ontario farmers showing their
desire to grow sugar beets
because "it gives me more
authority to go back to my
cabinet colleagues and say that
they (Southwestern Ontario
had to show they were willing to
produce up to 40,000 acres of
sugar beets, to provide between 20
to 25 per cent of Canada's sugar
needs.
Attending from this area were
Lloyd Willert, Gerald Regier and
Richard Ayotte of Hay township
and Harry Van Osch and Bill
Muller of the Crediton area.
Willert, who is president of the
Zurich local of the National
Farmers Union told the T-A
Tuesday that prospective
growers at the Chatham meeting
signed up for 14,300 acres.
Cards for the purpose of in-
dicating a desire to grow sugar
beets in this area are available
from Willert, A meeting was held
in Zurich Wednesday night to
desire," Mr, Whelan said, ad-
ding that he had also been told by
Middlesex and Perth County
farmers recently that they, too,
would like to grow sugar beets if
more stable prices were to be
had.
Mr, Whelan was invited to
attend the meeting by a com-

Without this type of proof, "the
first thing those fellows down
there would say is that you didn't
want the industry before so you
let it die," he explained.

the requirements and records
necessary for filing income tax
returns.
The course was prepared by
the staff of the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food and the
University of Guelph. It is
divided into 5 sections, each
dealing with a different aspect of
record-keeping, It helps the
student understand accounting
procedures, how they are used,
and how to use the information on
income tax forms. Assignments
at the end of each section
are completed and marked, then
returned to the student for
evaluation.
The most exasperating part of
filing annual tax returns is
recording farm expenses and
matching receipts and invoices
with the figures. This course will
help farmers keep up-to-date and
accurate records. Hiring an
accountant for your farm account
may not be possible. Companies
that compile income tax forms
for you use figures you provide. If
the information you give them
contains errors, then your in-
come tax return will not be
correct.
All course materials are
supplied-reference material, tax
forms, as well as the study
manual itself. Cost of the course
is $30. The course is available by
writing the Office for Indepen-
dent Study, University of Guelph,
Guelph, Ontario. When the course
is completed the student should
have a goodemderstanding of the
procedures necessary for filing
income tax returns.

The group has been working for
the past, year to revive the sugar
beet industry in Ontario which
went into limbo in 1968 when

Prices of imported sugar have

been climbing in recent years
however, to the point where
Canada now faces a crisis of
sugar shortages, George Higgs,
caretaker president of the
Ontario Sugar Beet Growers'
Association, told the audience,
Standards of living in the ex-
porting countries have increased
to the point where cheap labor
was a thing of the past. Canada,
he said, was going to continue
paying higher prices for im-
ported sugar in the future.
To combat this, the country
was going to have to look to
domestic sugar to ease the
shortage, but farmers wanted a
policy to guarantee their own
future against further "dum-
pin"
The
.
request for a national
sugar policy is not a new issue for
Mr. Whelan. The agriculture
minister battled Ottawa on behalf
of Southwestern Ontario farmers
for just such a program long
before he was named to his
cabinet post.
The support he seeks from area
farmers may be forthcoming in
about 10 days, according to Andy
Watson, provincial agricultural
representative for Kent County.
Committee members who
called the special meeting
handed out questionnaires to
attending farmers asking,
among other things, whether they
favored re-establishment of a
local sugar beet industry and how
many acres they would be willing
to turn toward sugar beet
production.
Mr. Watson said the remainder
of the 1,800 printed forms will be
distributed to other farmers to
seek their opinions.
If the results of the survey show
a favorable response, committee
members will draft a brief for
Mr. Whelan's use.
"If we only get a few farmers
who would be willing to grow
sugar beets, then we won't push
for the industry in our area," Mr.
Watson said.
Alberta and Manitoba already
produce enough sugar beets for
their own needs and sometimes
end up with a surplus that is then
supplied to other parts of Canada,
he said. But two-thirds of
Canada's sugar requirements•
still come from outside the
country. EXETER FORD
