IL, Wooden, Principal • Want prime farmland freeze • New Ont. budget to limit spending increase its support by 8 percent which represents some $230 million in additional funds to local governments. Municipal councils and all local agencies, Mr. McKeough said must make tough decisions to hold the line on 1976 spending, to cut out new programs, to freeze civil service hiring and to postpone capital projects, if mill rate increases are to be kept to a minimum next year, The Province has ac- commodated local spending to the limit of its own budget capacity. It is now up to the local sector itself to exercise rigid budgetary constraint to ensure that ratepayers get full value for their tax dollars, Mr, McKeough said the principle of an affordable society requires implementation and commitment by all levels of government. The Minister of Agriculture and Food, Mr, William Newman in a statement io the Legislature, said that final payment will be made to those producers who voluntarily enrolled in the Ontario Beef Calf Income StabilizaLion progratri. Newman said that in the first year over 12,100 producers joined the five-year program enrolling some 312,850 beef cows, The guarantee price in 1975 was established at 50c per pound, This meant that when the weighted average market price of beef stocker calves fell below the 50c guarantee price a payment from the program would be made to absorb the difference. The weighted average market price of Ontario stocker calves during the monitoring period of Sep- tember, October and November in key sales areas throughout the Province was 29.82 cents per pound. Under the Beef Calf program the gross payment per cow to the farmer amounts to $77,19 this year. Since the premium per cow to the farmer amounts to $77.19 this year. Since the premium for the program this year was $5 per cow, this amount Jersey bull chosen top gold medal sire A "cautious" freeze on food producing land has been called for in a policy statement presented to the provincial government by the Ontario Institute of Agrologists. The brief, presented December 10, suggests that the top three classes of food producing land be frozen in order to maintain the required amount of land needed to meet food demands. The institute, 1200 members strong, feels that at least 12 million acres of farmland will be needed to feed a projected population of 12 million in Ontario. The brief points out that as of 1971, there was only 10.9 million acres of improved, usable farmland and the figure will be lower now, Crop land, once it has been converted to industrial or urban use, can never be reclaimed again, The institutes suggestion of a ", autious freeze" leaves the possibility open of using farm land for other uses where "it may be essential," It was suggested that Canada, particularly Ontario, who has more class t farm land than any other province, should give leadership to other nations in the preservation of crop land, The institute says that Ontario can play a prime role in meeting the demands of a world that has a half-billion people suffering from starvation, The Institute suggests that the use- of multi-land corridors for such things as highways, hydro and pipelines rather than single lane corridors which is the present method, This would minimize the loss of land to these services. It also suggests running these corridors through low yield lands wherever possible, The concern over land use is not a new one, according to Doug Jamieson, chairman of the Huron County branch of the Institute. He said that it was the main subject of the annual conference held at Centralia College in 1969, Mr. Jamieson teaches at the college. Since that time, Mr. Jamieson, Dick Heard, the London agricultural representative who authored the brief and other concerned individuals have been working on a program which will be suitable to farmers, urban residents, government and other interested groups who could be affected by the land freeze. Mr. Jamieson said he "thinks Huron County has been a leader" in the implementation of plans both at the county and secondary level that provide adequate protection for cropland. The institute wants a firm, uniform policy across the province he said, The institute intends to distribute the brief widely, to politicians, government officials, consumer groups, farmers associations and interested in- dividuals. It is hoped that the distribution will generate wide interest for a conference which is planned for this spring in London where land use will be the prime topic. By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex The Provincial Treasurer Mr. Darcy McKeough in giving the Legislature this week a glimpse of next year's budget, announced that the Government will be limiting overall expenditure to 10 percent in 1976-1977 without compromising essential services. He also announced that Municipal, transfer grants will be increased by 8 percent instead of restricting it to 5 and 6 percent as previously indicated. Mr. McKeough presented table's 6f government spending, which he will be giving to a meeting of the Provincial-Municipal Liaison Committee. The tables indicate an increase of 21.1 percent in interest payments on the Provincial debt as compared to the increase of 2.2 percent for housing. The interest payments on the Provincial debt will total $860 million while expenditure on housing will total $475 million. Mr. McKeough in his statement said that excessive growth in spending by governments at all levels has contributed in large measure to the inflation problem' in the economy at large. Accordingly, governments must now provide an example of restraint by ordering priorities and cutting back on their demands upon the taxpayer. Attaining this total expenditure objective of approximately $12.5 billion necessitates reduction in a number of low priority programs so that the genuine needs in higher priority areas can be met, For example the level of activity in Provincial road construction will be reduced. The level of investment in housing will be maintained but not increased. Welfare spending will be held to the rate of inflation plus ,projected growth in caseloads. Payments towards post- secondary education, will in- crease significantly to ac- commodate the rapid increase in enrolments. Spending in the justice field will increase in recognition of the demands from Ontario's residents for improved service in the area of law and order. Salary increases to civil servants will be held to a overall average of 8 percent in con- formity with the recent federal guidelines while compensation to senior levels will be frozen through 1976 at the level they have been since October 1974, Authorized staffing levels of the Civil Service will continue to be reduced. The full co-operation of local governments in this com- mon cause of spending restraint has been asked. Mr. McKeough listed government support and performance of the local government sector over the past five years. In 1970-1975 local government spending in Ontario has increased 70 percent from $3.6 billion to 6.1 billion. A very large part, of, this increase has been financed by enrichment of Provincial grants, Mr. McKeough said. This has allowed a considerable expansion and upgrading of local government services with only modern te increases in mill rates. Over the period 1970-74 mill rate increases averaged less than 1 percent per annum. There was a 12 percent increase in mill rates in 1975 so that the total increase for the five year period 1970-1975 was about 17 percent or an average of 3 percent per annum, In view of the significance of Provincial assistance to local sector financing, Mr. McKeough said it is vital to municipalities, school boards and local agencies to know the dimensions of the Government's financial support in preparing their budgets for 1976. He said that he will be in- forming the Provincial- Municipal Liaison Committee that the Province is prepared to The Jersey Bull, Lindale Merit Leader, Very Good 85 percent has just been designated a Gold Medal Sire on the high butterfat production of three of his daughters.

For the cow- calf industry in total this will mean a net transfer of about $22,5 . million in 1975. The Minister indicated that the cow-calf producers who enrolled in the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization program can an- ticipate receipt of their cheques from the program in December of this year. The Minister also said that a 10 percent random sample of program applicants was visited during November and early December by Ministry of Agriculture and Food staff to ensure that the correct number of eligible cows were enrolled, The Ministry staff received excellent co-operation from producers and that only minor errors in reporting cow numbers occurred. These, Mr, Newman said, were -clUe telh'e-faertlial this 'Was the' first year of a new program, The Minister pointed out that any farmer who produced high quality calves would have received more from the marketplace than this year's provincial average, and that in continuing efforts to improve the quality of Ontario Beef herds the program gives the producers who do an excellent job of producing calves a double benefit both from the market place and the Beef Calf Program. The Minister said that the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization program's original concept and purpose, to help producers during bottoms in the market, have been achieved.
