I ❑ ❑ t MILLER . MOTORS PHONE 149 — SEAFORTH discuss Advantc,ges of Conservation Authority A conservation information meeting at Zurich Thursday eve- ning produced much discussion concerning the Bayfield and surrounding watersheds. The meeting attended by represent- atives of area municipalities and conservation groups discussed the advantages of an authority being established to serve the Bayfield Valley. The Bayfield Creek watershed comprises approximately 210 square miles in parts of Gode- rich, Stanley, Hullett and Tuck- ersmith Townships. it lies be- tween the Maitland watershed on the north and the Ausable on the south. Mayor William Miller, of Clinton, asked if the Bayfield watershed was the only water- shed between the Maitland and Ausable watersheds. Arthur Latornell, of the Department of Lands and Forests, Toronto, re- plied it - wasn't the only one, but it was the main one. The answer raised the question con- cerning the area of the Mait- land watershed, and whether the are not in it could join. Dr, Lord said that an Author- ity doesn't need a watershed or a main river. He cited the Niagara and the Central On- tario Authorities as examples. All the area between the Ausable and the Maitland Auth- orities, including the land front- ing on Lake Huron, could be included in the Bayfield area. Terry McCauley, field repres- entative of the Ausable Author- ity, said the municipalities could include in their resolu- tion for an Authority all land between the Maitland and the Ausable. Such a step would give control of the gullies in the St. Joseph and Drysdale area to the Authority. The Authority could act to provide coverage of gullies to prevent further erosion into arable land. Oscar Nichol cited one ad- vantage to Listowel of the Mait- land Authority. The Middle Maitland River was streighten- ed through Listowel and a re- taining wall built. The munici- pality paid 45 per cent of the cost, the Department of Lands and Forests 50, and the Mait- land paid five per cent. The municipality would have had. to foot the entire cost if ,it was not. in the. Authority. Asked if the Maitland assess- ment would double again next year, Harold Cousins answered the Authority, which is made up ,of municipal representatives, had increased the budget to accommodate a new program. The program is devised by the executive board after discuss- ing reports of the advisory boards. Stewart Procter, Reeve of Morris Township, wanted to know' about the pollution of water. Mr. Latornell replied that regulations by the Author: ity, and especially the ' Ontario Water Resources Commission, and FUEL OIL Wm. M. Hart Phone 784 : Seaforth MILTON J. DIETZ TIPS ON HOW TO MARKET YOUR HOGS EARLY Cutting down on time to market and feed to market means greater hog prof- it's One of the surest ways to cut down your total feed cost is to creepfeed your baby pigs with Purina Bay Pig Chow and Purina Pig Startena. Get your baby pigs away to a flying start without setback with these "Fast - Start Twins." They supplement the sow's milk and contain built-in vita- mins, minerals, and antibiotic fortifi- cation'neefied for' fast sturdy growth. Creep feeding your baby pigs with Purina's "Fast -Start Twins" takes ad- vantage of their early urge -to -grow. This is important to you because it lets you take advantage of their early feed converting efficiency. It takes less than 2 pounds of feed to put on a pound of gain when they're young. As your pigs grow older, they just can't make as efficient gains at such low cost. Give your baby pigs., a quick start on the road to market by creep feeding Purina Baby Pig Chow and Purina Pig • Startena. You'll increase your profits • by sending more pigs per litter to market, and you'll keep. up the sow's condition, too.

Discuss Assessment McKillop Township Clerk, J. M. Eckert, raised the question of how to levy the assessment when only part of a municipal- ity is under an Authority. Ail McKillop Township residents are assessed in the Maitland Conservation Authority levy ev- en if they do not live in the Maitland River watershed. Mr. Eckert suggested the Authority should supply the municipa�l of- ficials with detailed maps show- ing acreage drained by the wa- tershed so that only residents in the watershed be taxed. Wa- tersheds are now determined on photographs and plotted on topographical maps. The acre- age drained is not described, as in the case of areas benefit- ting under the Drainage Act. Arthur Latornell, Supervisor with the Department of Lands and Forests, replied, "Perhaps we should supply acreage drain- ed by a watershed." This is the first year the Conservation Authorities, a branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, have run into this particular problem of assessment, noted Mr. Later- nell. The Metropolitan Toronto Authority assesses only resi- dents. The Maitland raises half its levy by assessing residents and the other half by assess- ing land. The individual author- ity can choose its method of assessment. Colborne Township has also run up against the same prob- lem as McKillop Township, township clerk Ben Straughan told the meeting. Mr. Latornell said a l9t of work would be involved if as- sessment was to be measured by the amount of acreage drain- ed by the watershed, and added that no municipality separates the levy at the present. CONSERVATION MAKES VALLEY BETTER PLACE IN WHICH TO LIVE Dr. G. Ross Lord, guest speak- er at a Conservation information meeting at Zurich last Thursday, said conservation depends on good will and "I hope to build your good will tonight." The . meeting was called to provide information concerning the work of conservation authorities and particularly to indicate the benefits an author- ity would provide in the Bay- field river watershed. Dr. Ross outlined the mechan- ics of setting up an Authority. "Any two municipalities can petition the Minister of Lands and Forests to set up an or- ganizational meeting. "The Minister will write each municipality in the watershed to send delegates according to its population to the meeting." Two-thirds of the municipali- ties must attend to set up an' authority. A two-thirds major- ity vote . is required at the meeting to pass as resolution setting up an Authority. If the resolution is passed, all municipalities .in the water- shed are in the Authority, whether they attend the . meet- ing or not. Dr. Ross stated that every organizational meeting called had passed the resolution for an authority. "Every municipality is going to be a loser in the ears to come if it doesn't vote for an Authority now," he asserted. Conservation .began in the northern forest areas. It spread to Southern Ontario for re- forestation and now 'takes in flood control. There are now 31 authorities in Ontario, in- cluding 440 municipalities, tak- ing in 44,000 square miles. One of the purposes of the Metro Authority is to prevent future damage, .such as that caused by Hurricane Hazel. Damage amounted to $34 mil- lion; 1800 people were left homeless and 81 were killed by the hurricane. A flood control system will be implemented costing. $38 mil- lion, 25 per cent of which will be paid by the municipalities. The remainder of the cost will be split equally between the province and the federal gov- ernment. The Metro Authority has planted over two million trees and helped farmers establish ponds. Over 120 ponds have been stocked with fish. The historic section has es- tablished Pioneer Village. In 1962, 140,000 toured the vil- lage. including 22,000 school children. A charitable foundation, founded by the Authority, has raised $80,000 to build a con- servation camp school and oth- er educational and historic ex- hibits. Dr. Lord stressed that the de- velopment of an authority to serve the Bayfield watershed need not be costly. As an ex- ample, he pointed out that an. acre of land can be purchased in the Bayfield area for $40. Land costs up to $4,000 per acre in Toronto, he said. Harold Cousins, chairman of t h e Maitland Conservation Authority, said in thanking Dr. Lord, "You won't be able to buy land for $40 per acre in a few years.
