Tough new laws will deter trespassing.
How wale helping
to protect you
and your property.
For nearly 150 years Ontario has
had a law making it an offence to
enter property where entry is
prohibited. But now new legislation—
The Trespass to Property Act -has
toughened up the law to protect
your rights.
Trespassers can now be fined up to
$1,000. In addition, they can be ordered
to pay for damages they. have caused.
An important part of the legislation
designates premises where entry is
prohibited without notice. These
include your gardens, orchards,
vineyards, land under cultivation,
woodlots and fenced land.
Where notice must be given to
prohibit entry, you may use red
markings on gates, trees or fences.
Yellow markings may be used to caution
that only certain activities may be
permissible. It is the responsibility of
the visitor to find out what you permit.
LAND USED FOR RECREATION
In the past; there was a great deal of
confusion regarding your responsibility
to people you allow on your land.
Consequently many farmers and rural
landholders would not allow recreational
activities on their properties.
Now another new act—The Occupiers'
Liability Act—reduces your responsi-
bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes
that those who take their recreation on
most rural land without paying a fee
will take care for their own safety.
' A special system has been devised
to allow you to easily indicate which
activities you will allow on your .
property. A sign naming or graphically
representing an activity (for example,
hiking) indicates that the activity is
permitted. The same kind of sign with
an oblique stroke through it means
that you prohibit the activity.
These new laws are part
of a continuing program to
streamline our legislation.
By clarifying your rights,
they afford you greater
protection from trespass
and also reduce your
liability when you make
land available for
recreational purposes.

of the industry suffered price
slumps just as bad as those
experienced with finished
hogs."
Weaner prices dropped
from more than $40 per
piglet in the first quarter of
1979 to about $27 in the last
quarter. Based on five-year
average prices, weaner
producers will be paid a
stabilization payment of $1.00
per weaner pig.
Weaner producers can
apply. for payment on up to
5,000 pigs. Application forms
have been available for some
weeks at Terminal
stockyard offices and federal
regional offices. ,For con-
venience to producers,
however, Mr. Cardiff has
placed additional forms in
his office on the Main Street
in Brussels, where they may
be picked up. Alternatively,
Ontario's soybean crop of
24 Million bushels
representing today's farm
value of over 200 million
dollars is fraught with
numerous marketing
problems according to Peter
Epp, Chairman of the
Negotiating Committee of
the Ontario Soya-Bean
Gorwers' Marketing Board.
Epp reported to his: board,
-of problems encountered at a
recent meeting with the
soybean crushers and the
Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Board held in
Toronto,
As. soybeans are a
regulated commodity under
the Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Act, each year a
negotiated agreement is.
signed respecting the
marketing'. of the soybean
crop, Part of the agreernent
establishes the pricing
arrangements for Ontario
soybeans based on the cost of
imported soybeans in
Canadian funds delivered to-.
the .Ontario crushing plants.
Concern was expressed as
on Ontario soybeans
specifically in the areas of
moisture discounts, product
yield and truCking, costs of
soybeans 'delivered to the
crushers. It is the contention
of the. Gorwers' Board these
factors should represent
actual substantiated dif-
ferentials without price
protection being in-
corporated.
Trucking rates assessed to
the soybean price to
Hamilton-Toronto should not
be based on the longest haul
from Essex County to
Toronto where the rate is 29
cents la bushel but either on
an equalized rate or the
pricing could be on a
delivered basis at the
crusher plant rather than on
a F,O.B. basis local elevator.
Epp stated that in the area
of trucking, while the rate of
20 cents was plugged into the
pricing formula, local
elevators depending upon
their location pay the actual
rate of the tartiff and the
difference between the two
rates represents a further
handling charge to the
elevator,
Epp reported to the local
board the crushers at the
Toronto-meeting stated they
preferred the Growers'
Board be disbanded in order
for the crushers to purchase
soybeans at their set price on
the open-market basis rather
than complying with a
negotiated agreement
designed to assure Ontario
growers a price equal to that
of imported soybeans of
equal quality delivered to
their plant.
At the meeting the cru-
shers cited unfair com-
petition caused by the
Federal Government's
Western Canada rapeseed
products transportation
subsidy to the Ontario
soybean product market.
This subject was raised two
years ago when crushers
threatened to reduce prices
22 cents a bushel to meet the
rapeoil competition. At that
time the Ontario Soybean
Industry and Government
met in Ottawa with the Hon.
John Wise, then Minister of
Agriculture, and a review
and program was under
consideration.
On Friday, October 17, the
Soya-Bean Board office was
advised from the office of the
'Hon. Eugene Whalen the
rapeseed product tran-
sportation assistance is
being re-evaluated. Further.,
Mr, Whelan is calling a.
meeting' of the Ontario
Soybean Industry along with
the Hon. Lorne Henderson of
Ontario and his people within
the next -Month.
Epp stated the .continued
threatof Ontario crushers to
crush softseeds, namely
rapeseed,, has been an an-
nual remark throughout the
years. Should Western
rapeseed be placed under the
Canadian Wheat Board,.
rapeseed would be regulated

pensation to weaner-
producers similar to that
paid for finished hogs
marketed between April 1,
1979 and March 31, 1980.
When the stabilization
payment for finished- hogs
was announced in May,
weaner producers were
excluded. Mr. Cardiff
questioned this exclusion in
the House of Commons,
urging the Minister of
Agriculture to include
farrowing or piglet
operations along with finish
operations in the
stabilization plan.
"Nothing happened on this
issue until the late summer,"
Mr. Cardiff notes, "By which
time farmers were too busy
to pay much attention to the
government's announce-
ment, However, I am glad
weaner producers have now
been included in the

producer pays 15 percent
more in their input cost as
they cannot iMport her-
bicides into Canada duty free
upon request by phone to the
constituency office, they will
be mailed out to producers
directly.
"I would urge weaner
producers to take advantage
of this plan," Mr. Cardiff
said. "Sixty per cent of the
finished hogs marketed in
Canada last year had come
from specialized weaner
producers. Now that weaner
producers have been in-
cluded in the stabilization
plan, they too have a chance
to recover some of last
year's losses."

MP Murray Cardiff has
announced that application
forms for the Federal
Government's weaner pig
program are now available
through his Brussels con-
stituency office.
The weaner pig
stabilization payment was
first announced in August,
but according to Mr. Cardiff
it has not so far come to the
attention of very many of the
eligible producers.
"Out of some 30,000 to
40,000 potential applicants
across Canada, fewer than
2,000 had filed applications
with the Federal Govern-
ment by Thanksgiving
weekend," Mr. Cardiff said.
"From Ontario only 111
applications had been
received," he added.
The weaner pig
stabilization payment ,is
intended to provide corn-
- in like manner to, soybeans
entering Canada free of
tariffs for crushing pur-
poses.
