In his report president Bob Down said sales during the past. five years have apprOximately doubled from $654,000 to $1,264,000. • He continued, "during the past year we renewed: $13,000 in Member loans and have about the same amount in. member loans to renew in the coming year." "Since our last annual meeting we have completed aCqUisitiOn of Cann's Mill Limited. In the process of doing this we were faced with the task of raising $150,000 in member loans to help finance this project." "With the addition of the Cann facilities we, as a Co-Op will be able to provide a complete, all- round service to everyone in this area." Members of the Exeter District Co-Operative learned at the annual meeting Tuesday night Ladies speak to Co-ops Two women speakers will highlight the 26th annual meeting of United Co-Operatives of Ontario - the province's largest user-owned farm and urban supply business - to be held in Toronto, December 13. Mrs. Peggy Prowse, of Halifax, an elected director of UCO's sister co-operative in the east, Maritime Co-operative Services, will speak on the consumer and the co-operative movement at the evening banquet. Mrs. Jane Davidson, of Brucefield, will talk about the contrasting lifestyle she noted during a recent eight month stay in India, More than 430 delegates, who represent UCO's 38,500 individual members and 60 co-operative members throughout Ontario, are expected to participate in the day-long business session at the Royal York Hotel. Two of the 12 posts on,the big co-operative's (assets of $67 million) democratically elected board of directors will be con- tested. They are presently held by Allan McIntosh, of Almonte (for Ontario's eastern counties) and Gord Jack of Blenheim (for the province's southwest), Both are eligible to run again. The remaining ten men will stay in office. Order machinery early for 1974 An unusual market situation, brought about by several factors, has resulted in sales of farm machinery in excess of 25 percent over 1972 in Ontario. Factors influencing the machinery market aren't changing quickly, so it seems logical that, in 1974 farmers will experience similar shortages, notes Hal Wright, the secretary-manager of the Ontario Farm Machinery Board. "Many manufacturers are expanding their production facilities and or laying on ad- ditional work shifts to increase their production. Any gains manufacturers may make by plant expansion could be offset by a continued shortage of raw materials, strikes, and an in- creasing demand for machinery from export markets." These and other factors, combined with increased farm income, reduces availability of new units and could limit machinery production in 1974. Mr. Wright advises farmers to order their 1974 machinery requirements four to six months prior to date of need, and to make a firm commitment to the dealer with a down payment to ensure delivery. Bob McKercher of Dublin, a zone director of the United Co- Operatives of Ontario congratulated the local Co-op on a successful financial year and on the acquisition of the Cann's Mill Limited facilities. McKercher said the United Co- Operatives of Ontario also en- joyed the best year ever with consolidated sales of more than 166 million dollars. UCO Directors meeting Monday decided to declare patronage dividends amounting to $2,704,000. Included will be 31/4 percent rebate for purchases of hardware, petroleum and crop feeds and one percent on western grain purchases and two cents per bushel on grain marketing. UCO sales to members have risen to a new high of 66 percent, Jack Schell, manager of the Exeter Co-Op told members the supply of fertilizer should be adequate for the 1974 spring season. He assured members that needs of present Co-Op and Cattle movement being disrupted Cann's Mill customers would be filled. In an .election of officers following Tuesday night's banquet at the Hirkten-Woodham Cornmunity Centre, Jack Blalr was named a director replacing Jack 1973 president Bob Down was in charge of the meeting and List several in farm pro Owners of farm properties in the Province are urged to acquaint themselves with certain changes in The Ontario Farm Tax Reduction Program for 1973. These changes, and the im- plementation of the 1973 program were announced jointly by Honourable William A, Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food and the Honourable John White, Minister of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. The program is aimed at relieving the municipal tax burden on lands used actively for farming purposes and farms that will remain in agricultural production in the future, It is not intended to provide relief for lands being held for speculative or development purposes or for properties being kept out of production for other reasons, The most significant change in the 1973 program is the increase in the rate of Farm Tax Rabate from 25 percent to 50 percent, This increase was announced April 12, 1973 by Honourable John White in his 1973 Budget. ' Another important change relates to the method of ad- ministering the 1973 Program. In previous years Farm Tax Rebates were paid automatically to all registered owners of land assessed as "Farm" and con- sisting of 11 acres or more. This year the rebate will only be paid upon receipt of an application from the property owner, Application forms will be mailed to all owners of property in Ontario assessed as "Farm" without regard to the size of the property. To qualify for the Farm Tax Rebate, the applicant will be required to complete and return this application form describing the main farming enterprise, certifying that at least 50 percent of the 1973 Municipal Taxes have been• paid, and demonstrating that the current farm operations will generate at least $2,000 in annual income, In previous years, the owners of farm property less than 11 acres in size were required to file such an application and demonstrate an annual income from farm operations of $2,000. In effect, the new regulations ex- tend this requirement to all farm properties. This move is in response to a recommendation contained in an interim report by the Ontario Farm Classification Committee. The ministers announced plans to appoint a Committee of Appeal which would hear appeals with respect to applications for the Farm Tax Rebate, Property owners who feel they should be eligible for the Farm Tax Rebate by the nature of their operations, but who reside on lands assessed as other than "Farm" should appeal to the local Assessment Review Court. Where property banquet. The other directors are Fria Finitheinpr, Fred Miller, Lorne Ballantyne, Alvin Cud- more and Harvey Hollings who also handled the secretarial duties. Re-elected for another three. year term on the board of .directors were Howard ,Hendrick and Jack Stewart, changes petty tax becomes assessed • as "Farm" following a successful appeal to the Assessment Review Court, an application for the 1973 Farm Tax Rebate would be eligible regardless of the deadline for applications established for other property owners. Those applying for, and receiving Farm Tax Rebates are reminded that the grants are considered repayable with in- terest of 8 percent per annum should the property assessment status be changed from "Farm" to "Residential," "Industrial" or "Commercial" by reason of development prior to, or during 1983. To sum up; the 1973 Farm Tax Rebate will be 50 percent of the net farm tax bill; it will be available only on application, with applications mailed to registered owners of land assessed as "Farm"; there will be a minimum income requirement of $2,000 per farm; and a "Committee of Appeal" will be established.

Missing is director Jack Blair, T-A photo The normal movement of western feeder cattle to Ontario feedlots has been disrupted this year. Because of market con- ditions and good weather in the west, Western producers are leaving their calves on the cows longer than usual. Ideally, the cattle should be in the feedlots now, so they have time to acclimatip themselves to Ontario conditions, according to Dr. D, Davis, cattle diseases.— specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The late arrival of the 1973 feeder cattle crop could cause additional health problems for feedlot operators. As well as the normal stress caused by ship- ping, the cattle may suffer from bad weather en route or poor weather conditions when they reach Ontario. Disease control measures on arrival must be the most thorough ever used, Dr. Davis emphasizes. Feedlot operators, should carefully clean and prepare the feedlot facilities. Isolation pens for newly-arrived cattle and hospital pens for sick animals should be thoroughly washed down and disinfected. The in- stallation of squeezes and chutes makes handling and treatment of cattle easier. Shipping fever is probably the most common problem with feeder cattle. Plenty of rest, good grass hay and adequate water are important. Well-rested animals are better able to combat stress and resist diseases. Chronic pneumonia is a disease that is on the increase, according to post-mortem records at Ontario Veterinary college. "The problem is that operators don't treat illness properly," Dr. Davis said. "Any animal that is sick enough to be treated for any disease should be treated in- tensively for about three days, FORD WALK-BEHIND Snow Blowers 1-"k $4681* Two-Stage Augers AS TOY TRACTORS $4.99 $14,99 $10.15 $6.99 $13.10 $40.99 GEORGE EIZENGA LTD.
