It seems that farmers always

glish king decided to help the

ecognized that agriculture is of

imported cheeses are increasing

food reporter has pointed out that
except for those consumers on
fixed incomes, most households
are not cutting out food luxuries
to keep their weekly budget costs
down. If they are not cutting
down, then they can't be hurting.
It strikes me that all these
bitter attacks on the Canadian
Egg Board are directed against
something faceless. What's a
Board? It has no personality, no
sex. It is an "it". The farmers are
not blamed for anything, but they
elected this Board system. If
anyone of my readers ever was
involved in the initial organization
of a church, a club or group, it
must be acknowledged that
mistakes were made and for some
years afterward the constitution
and regulations are being
changed to correct these
mistakes. Why don't the critics of
the egg board give them a chance
to iron out any difficulties that
arose? Their greatest sin so far
seems to have been that the rules
allowed the production of too
many eggs which cost the egg
producer dearly. But a price has
never yet been increased because
of over production.

Ontario's Agricultural Societies
will Nye a broader base to work
from as a result of the passing of
the Agricultural Societies
Amendment Act, 2974, during
the last session of the Ontario
Legislature. The Hon.. VVilliamA,
Stewart, Ontario's Minister of
Agriculture and Food, in
commenting on Bill 21 said:
"Agricultural Societies are
becoming increasingly important
in rural Ontario communities and
we felt the amended Act would
recognize and expand the scope
of the societies' impact in the
community.
"One of the new categories
under the amended Act will
provide individual society grant of
one-third of the cost up to $500 for
the holding of entertainment
programs based on local talent as
opposed to imported performers.
With the increasing enthusiasm
for local amateur programs we
saw the need for additional funds
for this useful community
function.
In keeping with the broadening
influence of the Agricultural
New land
branch
established
A new Food Land Development
Branch will be formed within the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.
"This Branch will serve all
those matters within the Ministry
involving land use. It will promote
our policy, as a Ministry, of
retaining in food production,
wherever possible and practical,
agricultural lands • which have a
high capability for this use," said
Agriculture Minister William A.
Stewart.
In early 1974, an ad hoc Food
Lands Development Committee
was established within the
Ministry to serve as an interim
voice during Government discus-
sions and planning decisions on
land use. "It has become increas-
ingly important for the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
to have a strong voice in the land
use policies of the Ontario
Government. The new Branch
will provide an effective and
tangible unit through which to
express public concerns on land
use.{'
the development of th
use.{'
Ministry's land use program,
members of the Branch will
coordinate, develop and refine its
long-range land use policy and
policy alternatives. They will also
analyze land use legislation and
programs in other jurisdictions
with a view to providing policy
alternatives for Ontario. In
making the announcement. Mr.
Stewart added, "The new Branch
will continue to coordinate the
Ministry's significant role in the
interim management of Govern-
ment-owned land in order to
encourage food production on
land best suited for this purpose.
We see the Branch becoming
increasingly active in providing
inputs to the proposed projects of
other agencies involved with
land."
The interim Food Lands
Development Committee will
continue to operate until the new
Branch Director and the appro-
priate professional and support
staff are acquired. Coining under
the Production and Rural
Development Division of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, the new Branch will be
located at the Ministry's offices at
1200 Bay Street, Toronto, Ont.
