CONTINUED FROM P. 1 controls and Minnesota prohibits all for- eign ownership. In 1974 the government showed its concern by impo4ing a 20 per cent land transfer tax, but legal loopholes, such as f• orming a Canadian company, allow a buyer to -get .around the tax. Derk Logtenburg,: president of the Ashfield Federation of Agriculture, is also in favour of controlling non-resident own- ership. He lives on the seventh concession of Ashfield and is surrounded by corporate farms owned by non-resident investors. He leases some of his land from a corporate farm in the area. He says that the problem of absentee ownership of farmland in Ashfield cannot e blamed entirely on corporate farming. Farms have been getting bigger in the last 25 years as farmers buy more land to increase the size of their farms, making No Christian school before Sept.

Burgsma is a represent- • ative of the Board of Trustee's of the Lucknow Christian District School Society who. have purchased property for a school on Highway 86 about 11/2 miles, east of the village. The board and interested parents and supporters not the school have been meeting regularly for the past several months,' to decide when it • would be possible to begin construction of the school. It was decided at a meet- ing Friday night that the cost of building a school makes it necessary to take more time to raise the money to finance the project. Said Burgsma, the cost of building the school is consid- erable and it will beneces- sary to spread the fund raising out over .a longer period of time. The board will continue meeting to decide when construction will begin farming with large expensive machinery economical. When a farmer decides to sell, he does not want to break up his land into the parcels of land it was, before the farmer accumulated his acreage. Farmers want to sell all their land to one buyer says Logtenburg. It is almost impossible for someone to buy up a 300 acre farm at one time. The land which belongs to corporate farms in the area was on the market for three or four years and no one locally was interested, says Logtenburg. The first farm sold to an absentee owner was ;Old about seven years ago, , "It's going to take government legisla- tion to control foreign non-resident owner- ship in Ontario," says Logtenburg, "There's got to be a basic agricultural policy at home. Canadians cannot rely on imports completely."
