He said further study would be requested
from the Ministry of Transportation and
Communications which if received, would
permit the county to operate without
borrowing in 1980.
The application of tax equalization factors
on the 1980 assessment resulted in urban
assessments decreasing and an' increase in
the rural assessments. The province had
frozen assessment in the early 1970's and
the price of land has increased dramatically
since then, especially in rural areas. No
assessment was allowed to fluctuate more
than .5 percent in applying the factors to the
1980 assessment.

Bill Armstrong, 22 of
Morris Township recently
became the third Junior
Farmer from Huron County
since the organization
formed in 1921 who was
picked for an overseas ex-
change trip. •
Bill who has been involved
with Junior Farmers for six
years, says the trip to the
United Kingdom could be
called, "One of-the ultimate
goals of the Junior Farmer
program.
At A selection Progratn
the Inn on the Park in
Toronto 18 applicants from
different parts of Ontario, had
to show a film or slide
presentation on their county
and talk about involve-
ment in community work and
their homne life in general.
Personal interveiws and
impromptu speeches were
included,
01' the 18 who applied, four
were to be selected to, go on
i;le trip and the names of
lied industry representatives
is being held June 17 to 19 at
the Stratford Coliseum.
"The main purpose behind
the competition is to provide
farmers with a vehicle to
share their ideas and inven-
tions with other farmers,"
says Mr. Lawson. "But it
may also help allied industry
people learn more about the
types of products producers
want." '
Entries to the competition
,:an cover almost any aspect
f pork industry from feeding
breeding, production or fin-
ancial management, to dis-
ease prevention, manure uti-
lization, ventilation, energy-
saving device, building and
equipment design.
"We don't really know
what to expect from the
entries,!' says Mr. Lawson.

those chosen were
announced at a Junior
Farmers Association
Conference in Toronto on
March 15.
The trip involves two
months in the. United
Kingdom with the time
divided up between England,
Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland and
spending a week to a week
and a half with a host family.
Bill will be involved with
the Rural Youth program in
Great Britain.
"The whole purpose in my
opinion is to exchange
thoughts and ideas and bring
them 'back to the Junior
Farmers program," Bill said.
The four Junior Farmers
will be wearing suits with a
Canadian tartan that was
specially made up for them.
Later on this year, dele-
gates from the 'United King-
dom will return to Canada
and take part in
approximately the same type
of program here.
Bill has been vice president
and president in the County
and club le‘cls and': '. 0, now
acting as provincial director
for Huron County and zone
chair :n for Huron, Perth,
Grey and Bruce.
He ha5 participated in
exchanges`before, including
a 4-H exchange to Pennsyl-
van ia and a Junior Farmer
ExChange to. Alberta.
Farmer Exi. Range to Alberta.

current exchange applicants
had to - have a 4-H
background. Bill was involved
with 4-H for approximately
eight years and held all.of the
executive positions as well
as, completing 27 agricultural,
projects. It's Common pract'ce for
most farmers to tinker with
commercial equipment or
design their own equipment
to meet particular needs;
pork producers are no ex-
"Many Ontario pork pro-
ducers are inventing equip-
ment and modifying com-
mercial products to increase
the efficiency their oper-
ttions," says Art Lawson,
ssociate agricultural rep-
esentative for the Ontario
N:inistry of Agriculture and
.00d.
