OCTOBER 25 1919 JACK_ Ofra MPP There has been a great fled Of concern ParticularlY in rural municipalities about the new equalization factors. Which the Minister of Rev- enue announced lust July. The PtirPone of the new e factors is to provide an updated And Standard baSis for caletilating certaingrants and Municipal eost sharing arrangementa. These new factora Placed those Which were. frozen in 1970, • Althrough these factors re - fleet the changes which have taken place in property valves over tne past decade they do not represent a change to the govern- ment's taxation policy, How- ever, if the new factors were used without limit there v..4404*).o large and j Sonle cases unacceptable shifts in, the burden of property tax- Ation among municipalitieS, grad among ratepayers, Without offsetting &overlay., Ment action! the use of the< newt factors would create substantial increases in taa- Ation in 4 large ninnher Municipalities. The ,getvetn• ment preposeS to Alleviate this impact by providing special funding tn [Punt" ionalitieS in 1980, in addition the government is instituting a limit on the assessment shift S which can take place in 1980 as 4 result of the new 'factors. swels11110•101•11•11•1101•110••••••emememmillim•201.110,1111000•00°.°01111° - ,,<• '...%.;•,- would have received under • the use of the old factors, • • ; re.,...• .5, For other municipalities, * :-I, the new equalized assesS- : nient will be used for the do .•..-:,-;:- --K.4- ow% .-, - • a. • , r , 41, tu the new factors, wilt be revgnte4, for genetal. mun- ipaI purpos0s,- shifts levies caused by the new factors will be limited to, $70 as well.

However, for those mttnicipalities: whose equalized assessment has been increased relative to the provincial average hy the new factors (and thus, H whose level of grant support the resource equalization grant would be paid on that iNists- In addition the govern - Ment has put an overall limit of $10.00 per capita on the amount of increase over their 1.979 resource equalization grant which nnY nInniciPalitY can receive, The government has also. decided to introduce greater uniformity in respect of the split naillrate. Tlic split mill - rate is the measure Wht*i residential anal farrn tax' payers pay a lower ttur rate tharo is paid on other proper-, ties. At present this split is at 15% for municipal purposes. However, the split is not now recognized for purposes of the resource equalization grant.' Starting in 1980 the split militate will be stan- dardized at 15% for that grant as well as most other' In Municipal PorPOSes.

Herd Improvement staff, Complete information was obtained on 235 pairs of heifers distributed through- out Qntario. Treated heifers averaged less than .2 grubs per head. Untreated herd - mates averaged 7.6 grubs. Thus the, products used destroyed, 97.5% of the grubs present in the treated animals- No differences were observed in the three control • products: fenthion (Spotton) Coop Warble Killer). How do we arrive at the $48 ioss? wen, the treated heifers gained 9% faster than the .untreated ones. A 9% reduction in growth over two consecutive years in- creases the age at which heifers reach a suitable calv- ing weight and size by approximately one month. The cost of delayed breeding, of a lactating cow has been estimated to cost $160 per daY, Thus, we have a $48. loss for every untreated heif- er. The study points out the necessity of treating dairy heifers. 58% of the untreated heifers were infestea wren an average of 13.2 warble grubs. We won't make progress in eliminating, this pest if we treat only beef animals.

THERE IS A IDIFFERENCE Feed test results- have been pouring into the office. There are some differences from last year. Corn silage samples are running at 70% dry matter and 2.5% protein as opposed to the usual 65% dry matter and 3% protein. We're always interested in the wide range in protein test on hay. Recently, one dry hay sample tested 8% pro- tein on an "as fed" basis, compared to a second sample at 14%. There's a difference of 120 lbs. of protein in a ton of these two different hays. It would. take 275 lbs. -of44% Soybean oil meal to make up the difference. That's a S37.50 extra cost associated with every ton of the lower testing hay. Of cOurse, 14% is still a pretty conservative protein test for hay. A recent haylage Sample was just under 19% protein when converted to 90% dry matter. So the $37.50 could nearly double..
