Bush Compensation Should Equal
Return on Value in Cash to Farm
(By 3. Carl Hemingway)
Third, thin bush on good land.
This bush is not producing trees
as it is being pastured. Eventually
these trees will be cut and in all
probability the land will be cult-
ivated. These trees will supply
lumber for repairs and alterations
to farm buildings for quite some
years. If they are all cut at once
at what length should the logs be
cut? Where will the farmer store
this lumber till it is required? The
sale price of elm logs is about
$45 per thousand. I purchased an
elm plank from a sawmill recent-
ly at $100 per thousand. Allowing
$15 per thousand for sawing the
difference is $40 per thousand. In
this type of bush the compensa-
tion should be close to the differ-
ence between wholesale and retail
value per thousand.
This past week I had the priv-
ilege of accompanying the rep-
resentative of Ontario Hydro who
is valuating the trees on the Sea -
forth Clinton line. Most of the
farmers are satisfied with the pr-
ice allowed on individual trees and
have signed the contract offered.
Generally I feel this is a reason-
ably acceptable offer.
Where bush land was concern-
ed I cannot agree with the valu-
ation. There are three situations
that I would like to consider;
First, bush on land suitable for
cultivation. This bush is mainly
hard maple, some white ash and a
smaller amount of elm. The trees
are of all sizes. This type of bush
in my estimation will yield for an
indefinite period of time at least
two mature trees per acre. I think
the least these two trees could net
the owner would be $50. This
means that the owner would have
to invest about $1,000 to have
the same net income, therefore
the compensation for good bush
should be $1000 per acre. True,
this land could be cleaned up and
made into crop land but at pres-
ent labour costs it is doubtful if
this would be economically sound.
Second, bush on land not suit-
able for cultivation. Here again,
this Tend would yield a continuing
crop of trees andthe yearly net
would be very close to the $50 per
acre. Since the land is not suit-
able for cultivation it can only
be a section of waste land with
no hope of recovery. Compensa-
tion should be the same.

The average offer by Hydro for
bush is $100 per acre. Yet the
stated policy of Government in
granting expropriation rights is
"the owner shall be left no worse
off". This is supposedly accepted
by Hydro Highways and Pipelin-
es.
Your Federation can only find
strength to better your settle-
ment from the support you give
it. Substantial gains have been
made in increasing compensation
but there is much still to be de-
sired.
