During debate on second read•
ing of 13111 158, An Act to estab-
lish the Ontario Energy Corpor-
ation, I indicated that while
the Liberal Caucus was pleased
to support the idea of an Ontario
Energy Corporation, we felt the
powers of the Corporation were
very broad and the function of
the Corporation should be more
clearly defined. Only broad
concepts of the activities of the
corporation have been given,
which include everything from
financing pipelines to guarant-
eeing investments by oil and gat
companies for research to initial
ing resource projects of its own.
While the Ontario Energy
Corporation is not without some
hope of being able to promote
such policies more specific
goals for the corporation would
be welcomed.
I pointed out that in his state-
ment on the corporation, the
Ivlinister stated it would invest
or participate in energy projects
including development and
research. However, nothing
was said concerning the role of
other energy sources such as
wind, solar and geo-thermal
forces. The Minister's statement
also indicated that the Corporat-
ion's first priority should be to
assist in securing adequate
supplies of natural gas for the
Province as the Ontario Govern-
ment foresees a shortfall in
supply within the decade. ile
indicated that in future years,
"it may be. 10 years away,"
rhe Cornoration could become
involved in other fortes of
energy development utilizin;::
solar, wind and cJ.co-tlierleal
forces. T uitestioned itiliv altern-
ative sources of energy s1l;i ld
only be researched and de . e lr. p-
ed alter the gas supply has
become depleted. as I felt now

would cut demand growth
enormously by the end of the
century and stabilize consumpt-
ion after that. The most signif-
icant development in Ontario
in terms of energy is the vastly
increased role of nuclear power
but before there is a massive
commitment to this source of
energy, satisfactory solutions to
problems such as storage and
disposal of radio -active waste
products must be found.
Legislation on snowmobiles
was introduced in the Ontario
Legislature this week, covering
their registration, licencing and
operation. Dealers are required
to register snowmobiles within
six days of sale, and owners are
to attach registration numbers tc
both sides of the machines.
Permits to drive snowmobiles
may be issued to those over 72
subject to examinations, and
the age minimum of 12 years
old has been established with
regard to ciriving the machines
on public trails. Age restrict-
ions would ban drivers under 16
from all highways, under 14
from crossing highways. The
wearing of helmets is to be
compulsory. The 13111 would
ban snowmobiles from all prov-
incial highways and secondary
raods except those exempted
by regulations, and would
require drivers to cross serviced
roads at a right angle.
Protection to property owners
from trespassers is also offered
by the legislation.

Feeding
cattle
More and 1 tore Ontario dairy
farmers are wondering how to
combat rising feed costs and still
keep milk production ]sigh.
"Feed cows according to milk
production levels, " suggests
Dr. G.K. MacLeod, professor
in the Animal and Poultry
Science Department at the Ont-
ario Agricultural College,
"While underfeeding energy
and protein causes the milk pro-
duction of high producers to
drop, the over• -condition of
heifers and of cows producing
less milk indicates their milk
production would not drop if
they were given less high energy
feed."
If possible, feed each cow
grain according to its production
record and accepted guidelines,
such as those in the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food factshcets, "Feeding for
More Economical Milk Product-
ion" (Order No. 7.4-066) and
"Guidelines for Feeding Dairy
Cattle" (Order No. 74-020),
available from county and dist-
rict agricultural offices.
"Remember though, when a
pound of grain costs as much as,
or More than, a pound of milk
nets, you should consider restric-
ting grain to all, except for the
high producers, " says Dr. Mac-
Leod. If labor and housing req-
uirements make individual feed-
ing impossible, feed cattle in
groups, moving them to lower
grain groups as their prcxluction
drops.
Since good quality forages arc
usually the cheapest source of
nutrients, feed them free choice

Ministry of Agriculture and

Sangster. Ile recommends that

From early December, poins-
ettias in a wide color range of
red, dark red, pink, and white,

en or flower center. Keep your
poinsettia in a well -lighted spot
at about 65 deg. F. Its bottom
leaves may yellow and fall if
it is in a drafty location or if
its roots are allowed to dry out.
Red or pink blooming Reiger
begonias last for weeks in moist,
well -drained soil. Keep tlieirr at

not lower than 55 deg. F. at
night.
The consultative committee
to CEMA should operate as an
advisory group, under a chair-
man appointed by the National
Farm Products Marketing Coun
cil. A committee representing
signatories would meet semi-
annually to review operations
and the executive committee
should submit proposals on inv-
entory, levy and cash flow to
the National Farm Products
Marketing Council,
Cost of production should be
standardized and the CEMA
should purchase within -quota
surplus eggs at the intervention
price, established for a base
point in the province of lowest
cost. Free movement of with -in
quota eggs should be allowed
and provincial commodity
boards allowed discretion of
two cents per dozen above
intervention price.
Authority for quota enforce-
ment should be with the central
agency, implemented by the
executive committee which
would monitor quotas. CEMA
should establish the total nation-
al annual quota and executive
committee the weekly provinc-
ial quota, and give early consid-
eration to reviewing the level
of quota exemptions.
